A laugh at any price
Boyle needs a punch in the teeth just to remind him that some things aren't funny, despite an entourage of sycophants urging him on.

No problem with having a go at the over inflated whoooorbag but that is simply just wrong.

Keep it up, Frankie.....

Re: A laugh at any price
People with great minds usually have to work hard to hone their faculties, and—if fame and fortune is their bent—adjust and adapt to get what they want. Often they have to push their minds in directions different from where they had initially intended to go. Unless they harm others, they’re generally lauded for what they do.
People with great athletic ability: generally as above, except its their athletic prowess they’re working with.
People with great bodies…I think you get my drift.
Okay, there are differences between the groups, but what it boils down to is a) doing the best with what you’ve got (including make it bigger, better or stronger), and b) maximising your returns.
So is it intellectual / athletic / physical snobbery: intellectuals are happy to sneer at athletes and bimbos, athletes at intellectuals but not bimbos (because they marry them), and bimbos don’t give a shit because they know they’ve done far better—relatively speaking—than the others because their own economic rent far exceeds that of the others (although arguably not that of the top elite athletes).
So why’s it fair to take a pop at Jordan?

I don’t buy that.

And please do not give me the 'personal life' bit. She has whored that out as well...
Jordan: Living With a Dream, When Jordan Met Peter, Jordan & Peter: Laid Bare and Jordan & Peter: Marriage and Mayhem.
If she is more than happy to make money and fame out of the smallest iota of her personal life, she can hardly complain when people find something risible in it...

I don't know why Jordan has her knockers but I quite like her.

Re: A laugh at any price
Anyone who whores themselves so much to the media and public has to admit that, in doing so, they leave themselves WIDE open to people having a pop at them.

Unsubstantiated? C'mon--making a sexual joke about a blind, physically disabled and autistic child? I don't care if his mother was Pol Pot reincarnate, that's off limits.
