My mum posted this on my Facebook this morning and I didn't even need to look at the article, just the fact it was The Daily Fail reporting to know it was a crock of shit. I bet once this gets played on air, people will see the tone of voice used and understand it was a joke. Jfc people take shit way too seriously these days. | |

...given punk was originally a pejorative term used to describe homosexuals, and the article is about an openly gay man making an obvious joke, then I think the use of the word punk is at best naive, possibly homophobic, and offensive, either way. | |

OMG! I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall when the producers realized what the hell he'd said. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

How long have you been a Prince fan? If that episode ever airs at all, you can trust-- that part won't be in it! [Edited 10/30/15 9:35am] I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

Sure, people should be able to take a joke and not take offense to every little thing.
This situation is quite different, though. This "joke" was of a very personal nature and social media has proven to take any "joke" and build it up until it is then fact.
If Boy George knows Prince is OK with that kind of joke, then OK, but otherwise, that is an underhanded way to get some publicity. Some jokes are just too personal and/or too specific to make in public - and this was one of them. | |

slan·der
ˈslandər/
noun
Law
noun: slander
1.
the action or crime of making a false spoken statement damaging to a person's reputation.
Since you don't know what slander means, that's the definition. It's easy to brush off the remark when the remark isn't made about that person. If Prince decides legal recourse, then Boy George and the sites that reported the story deserve what's coming. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

Reminds me of Frankie Goes To Hollywood at the BPI. Sidenote an uncle of mine used to to be a club bouncer in south London with George back before he was Boy. Always said George could handle himself & loved off his Mum ![]() "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

It's trending on fb here in the uk "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

People in general can be mean-spirited and have agendas that are harmful. If straight people can be that way, why wouldn't gay people. It's human nature. I can understand where Jill Jones is coming from. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

Because it was a joke and has nothing to do with the "so called" gay agenda. If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in! | |
