The Sun Says: Manufacturing Pogonophobia

The Sun.

Yeah!

That's right.

I bet them Russians are fucking fuming about this.

Must be true - I read it in The Sun.

Why question that?

Like they've got nothing else to worry about right now.

This is like the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Or maybe Russians, like us, think Conchita Wurst is about as dangerous and threatening as a pantomime dame?

Russian Eurovision viewers voted her third!

And Rise Like A Phoenix is number one on Russian iTunes!

Media studies: Why is the anti-gay Sun putting this on the front page? Whose interests do fairy stories like this serve?

Wait, there's more fact-free writing in the equally ever-reliable Daily Star...


Yeah.

I totally believe that number.

Can I just ask how you came up with this suspiciously well-rounded figure?

Is it from the scientifically-proven mathematical method of plucking a ludicrously high number out of your bumhole?

  1. 'Bearded woman' is in fact a man (gay or straight-still a man) dressed up as a woman; it's very simple and I can't believe the Star can't get this simple concept.

    Regardless of his sexuality, this is a man who has a stage persona as a woman.

    It's very simple.

    Yeah, I bet Putin is shaking in his boots over a gay man dressing up as a woman (what a new concept this is, it's not as if Paul O'Grady and Kenny Everett existed) to win a an uber camp competition.

    But The Guardian is guilty of making this into more than what it actually is too.

    Have they never heard of men dressing up as woman before. Cupid stunts.
