Still Waters No Longer Running, Derp.

I'm sure there's a passage somewhere in the bible where Jesus called in a crack team of lawyers to deal with all the other prophets floating around doing the same sh*t he was at the time.

It's funny that Rory is receiving these solicitors letter because he only said that he thought they were 'mean'. The reference to homophobia was obliquely drawn by Brendan after which Panti gave a definition. At no point did he say John Waters or /Breda O'Brien is a homophobe. Legal teams are going to have trouble making that stick 'you called my client 'mean'' oooooooooh. It'll be a pain in the hole to contest though.

Apparently this has been pulled from the RTE player because of a certain someone taking legal action, you might guess who we're talking about here, but I hope this has a kind of Streisand effect for him

In other words a certain someone is trying to teach a gay man the meaning of homophobia by taking legal action against him?

In other news, the death of irony was announced...

Screw it, I'm posting the one I did. You weren't using those eyeballs anyway. Including a little buffer so as not to cause irreversible stomach trauma: Unless you're viewing from a phone, then you're pretty much screwed.

Jeez, that's woeful :eek: But entirely suitable for publishing widely, ALL over the show - GO, GO gadget Sarky!

Thank **** they don't. The river of acid burned away my eyes, now I can't see Sarky's horror any more.

Bile. It's a river of bile.

Sarky, that was uncalled for. I remind you, earworms are at the ready. Canines shall be anonymously released. Foxes polled. Doo's aga'ed.

I feel sick.

What I find interesting is that they all sent individual legal letters, as opposed to one on behalf of the institute. I can see why BO'B would send one personally as her name was uttered, but Quinn? What the hell is he playing at?

Being a poisonous ****, of course.

Update to legal letters received by PantiBliss.

I can now add John Waters to my list of legal correspondents. That's the full set I think.

Pere, Mr P.

Have you guys got any inkling of how these type of defamation things go?

Cahir O'Doherty, an IrishCentral columnist, casts his eye over the homophobogate manufactroversy and doesn't much like what he sees:

IMHOm Waters + Iona actions can be summed up by this picture.....



More articles appearing to show that the accusation of homophobia was well placed. They would have been better off not responding to what was said.
