Dundrum cancel 50 cent appearance!

bananabuster

Hi everyone,

Just interested to hear others views on this latest news-apparently after 50 cents controversial remarks such as asking disabled people not to follow him on twitter and claiming a fan looked autistic after being crudely told to "go and get shot again", carphone warehouse have cancelled his appearance tomorrow to promote his new (300euro!) headphones...Apparently Dundrum Town Centre's facebook page was inundated with complaints and threats of protests etc on his arrival.

I understand that because of security reasons, it was probably the best option but for people to cause such uproar over those comments (which he apologised for) and threaten to boycott the entire shopping centre may be a bit overboard is it?? I understand his comments were completely offensive and inappropriate but so is the majority of his music!?! He was never seen as a role model anyway surely so is anyone really suprised at his ignorant comments!? If you or your children didnt want to go to see him than you didnt have to! Im not a 50 cent fan at all but I was just interested to hear other peoples thoughts-
Did Carphone Warehouse/Dundrum make the right call by disappointing hundreds of fans over outraged parents?? Here is a link to an article on it..

Some talentless **** says something wankerish.

Brilliant.

What is it about these celebrities and social networking sites such as twitter.
One minute they're crying about photographers following them around and the next they're trolling on twitter, idiots.

So he's reduced to pimping headphones at Carphone Warehouse in Dundrum Shopping Centre now?

Sounds about right.

He played Waterford last year or the year before, pinnacle of his career :pac:

I'd rather find 50 cent than see 50 Cent tbh!

Good. No need for the inner city and west dublin skangers to infest the area now.

He's a despicable ape. Whatever about people liking Tom Cruise it would be a tremendous blow to my opinion of a person to learn they liked that asshat.

It would have been a great social experiment though all the same, what would happen when a load of heads and a load of dorts are under the one roof...

The hilarity. Like that's the first offensive thing he has said.

I'm devestated that "Fiddy" isnt coming

Boooooo Hooooo how will I ever get out of bed tomorrow.

Tombi!

Oh no! Now who will teach me about pimping out hoes

Surely in today's global economic climate he should now be called 40 cent??

And lets face it, him calling people retarded is a bit like the sexually confused bully beating up the gay kid.

Can they not get P-Diddlydoo to fill in for him?

I really don't understand why people would spend 300 euro on '50 Cent' headphones. I'd happily spend that much on headphones but they'd be far superior quality to Dr Dre, 50 cent equivalent.

In regards to the cancellation of the event. I'd find it highly offensive to be using autism as an insult against a person. It's bad PR for Carphone Warehouse and Dundrum Shopping Center to go ahead with the event. I'd happily let the event go ahead though, in the hopes that an angry parent does in fact beat him up. :pac:

Yeah, because Dundrum is used to a much better class of teenage moron!

1) He is an idiot for making those comments regardless of whether he apologised.

2) People can protest all they want on Facebook. The reality is that very few if any would end up showing up at this appearance. They are most likely internet warriors.

3) There is no such thing as 'bad press'. I had no idea that he had ever said these things, and I also never knew that he had his own line of €300 headphones. Now I do.

He's a retard. And a massive Irish role model
