UK NEWS: COMEDIAN FRANKIE BOYLE IN TROUBLE AGAIN FOR USING RACIST LANGUAGE

December 31, 2010 14 comments

Comedian Frankie Boyle is in trouble again!

During a routine on his Channel 4 show Tramadol Nights the star said, “The Commonwealth Games were originally called The Empire Games, it basically started out as a huge slave race.” Adopting a posh voice he added: “William, I think my niggers are quicker than yours.”

In a previous stand-up routine, Boyle discussed how news reports always considered British lives more valued than foreign ones. He said, ‘What gets me is our callousness as a society when we read out our dead on the news first, because our lives are more important. Other people’s aren’t worth as much.’ Boyle then mimicked a newsreader to add, ‘A bomb went off in Kandahar today, killing two British servicemen, three UN relief workers and a whole bunch of Pakis.’

Later he said: ‘The Ministry of Defence? At least in the old days we were honest, it was The Ministry of War.’ He then adopted the tone of a receptionist to say: ‘Hello Ministry of War, department of nigger-bombing, how can I help?’

Advertisers including Nestle and L’Oreal had pulled their commercials after being disgusted by Boyle’s jokes featuring racist language.

……………………………………….

Frankie’s brand of satire is just too much at times. Nobody is safe.  However there is truth in what he said about the Commonwealth Games and The Ministry of Defence.

I don’t foresee Channel 4 commissioning a second series of Tramadol Nights.

Check out Frankie in action during his Mock Of The Week Days. Warning – Don’t press play if easily offended.

UK NEWS: CHER LLOYD SIGNS TO ROC NATION

Cher Lloyd

Tabloid rag The Sun reports that the over-rated and over-hyped Cher LLoyd has signed to Jay-Z’s label Roc Nation.

A “source” disclosed to the newspaper,

“Even though Cher didn’t do terrifically well in the X Factor finals, there’s been a hell of a lot of interest in her. All the labels are on the lookout for sassy, young female artists with bags of attitude, and Cher fits that bill perfectly.”

Will.i.am’s backing only intensified the battle to get her signature. After weighing up the pros and cons, it was thought that the team at Roc Nation would be best placed to turn her dreams of stardom into a reality.”

Jay-Z allegedly admitted that he was a fan of her X-factor performances.

…………………………………..

It wouldn’t surprise me if this is true. It was only going to be a matter of time before some fool from the world of “urban” music in a powerful position stateside fell for the hype created by Simon Cowell / the “nations sweetheart” Cheryl Cole over here, and signed Cher.

Your thoughts please. Hit or Miss?

Universal Music has restricted some sites from featuring their music videos, and it looks like Mad News is on that black list. Why this site has been picked on and other’s can still feature their videos I don’t know.

Anyway whatever Universal, I’m not begging you anything.

Hahahahahahaha!

The legendary George Clinton is already suing Will.Iam/the Black Eyed Peas backsides for sampling his 1979 song (Not Just) Knee Deep . The suit names Fergie and Will.I.Am, as well as their label for sampling Clinton’s song in a remix of  Shut Up from their 2003 album Elephunk, and on a remix featured on the deluxe edition of their 2009 album The E.N.D.

Clinton claims that they still used the sample after he had denied permission to use it.

UK NEWS: TV STARS ANGELLICA BELL AND MICHAEL UNDERWOOD TIE THE KNOT

Michael Underwood and Angellica Bell

TV presenters Angellica Bell and Michael Underwood who present late night game show The Zone together finally became man and wife in a “surprise” ceremony in New York City on Monday.

Click HERE to read more and to view more pics.

Angellica and Michael in the early noughties when they were both BBC children TV presenters

When I first heard that Angellica and Michael were a couple I was shocked. First off a black British high profile male dating/marrying a black woman (especially one with a chocolate complexion) is simply unheard of – social suicide and secondly I always thought Michael was gay.

But anyway congratulations goes out to the happy couple who are now Britain’s black Richard and Judy.
