Hotties In The News: Magnus Carlsen

 

Almost certainly my favourite chess player since Bobby Fischer.
He's playing a very important tournament in London, apparently.
Mr Carlsen is being bigged up as the dude who's bringing sexy back to chess.
He also has a parallel career as a model in his native Norway.
Mind you, he does look like a dog chewing a wasp in some photos.  

Chess: Queen Sacrifice

"I've every sympathy with his cause, but I didn't think it was appropriate to have the sentiment on the T-shirt in every photograph with junior chess players – under-10s, under-12s and under-14s – promoting a particular sexuality."

Lara Barnes, English Chess Federation - commenting on her decision/advice to ECF president, CJ de Mooi (pictured), not to wear a Stonewall t-shirt "Some People Are Gay - Get Over It" when handing out prizes.
How very ironic.
Quoted in The Observer.
CJ's statement.

Doesn't the very existence of children "promote a particular sexuality"?
Or does Ms Barnes still think the stork brings them?
In fact, seeing as all human beings are basically adverts for the bestial act of heterosexual intercourse, why not just ban people?
Get over it!
