    I would've thought more people knew who the real John Waters is?

    If you don't remember, this guy:

    And let's not forget, this is the John Waters that said "Sometimes I wish I was a woman, just so that I could get an abortion."

    I think he's implying that bias = good journalism.

    Poor John, if he was American he would have a job at Faux Newz. :pac:

    Any news from John? He's been MIA in the Irish Times for a while. Is he working furiously on the mother of all Christmas messages for next week?

    Or a Christmas message about all mothers even.

    I think he has an exquisitely vile piece on the Savita case, and he's waiting until he thinks it's safe to print without disgusting everyone.

    Isn't his stuff 'Behind The Wall Of Pay' as it were....?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,186 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    You wish.

    He gets some stick in the comments though :)

    Is that like how taking children away from abusive parents is like literally shooting the parents in the head?

    They initially weren't. Guess they aren't interested in answering any of the criticisms posted in the comment section.

    If you can read this, you're too close!
