Was Ant's Myra joke out of order or hilarious?
 
Just wondering what other posters thought about Ant comparing Craig in a wig to Myra Hindley. I personally thought it was hilarious and am still laughing now. However i realise that comparing Craig to a child abductor is not nice. I can see how Craig must have felt completely humiliated around the table especially as he had told Ant not to say it. I know its not politically correct but come on folks own up if you thought it was funny.

So was Ant out of order?
Should Craig have just laughed it off?
Was Craig completely justified to be annoyed by Ant?
Did you find it funny?

Out of order...poor Myra, how dare he speak ill of the dead?:bored:

GlitterEyes 28-07-2005 04:52 PM

Funny first time, second time wasnt funny, I wouldnt want to be called her and dont think anyone would.

Fangz 28-07-2005 04:53 PM

Craig shouldn't take things so seriously.

GlitterEyes 28-07-2005 04:55 PM

But he had already asked anthony not to say it from the first time he said it, yet he ignored his request.

Sunny_01 28-07-2005 05:08 PM

but if Ant listened every time Craig "told" him not to do something the lad would be a mute who sat like a statue.

I confess to being one of the people who thought it was not only funny but accurate. Ask stropz I said to her before I saw the show last night that I thought thats who Craig looked like in the wig!! must be Consett minds eh?

Dont think that Ant should have said it when they were around the table after Craig had told him not to! x

I found it funny because he really did look like her. However I can obviously see why Craig would be absolutely gutted about that comment. I would hope that Myra Hindley was looking up from hell to be disappointed that people hate to look like her, even if they're only in a wig. If anybody saw BBLB the other day with the passport pictures and Craig looking like a psychopath, then I would have thought Anthonys comment was even more spot on haha!!

Sunny_01 28-07-2005 05:39 PM

I just think it was funny funny funny - sorry but because Craig made such a thing about it can you imagine the banners on eviction nights now :flower:

lilmissnaughty 28-07-2005 05:40 PM

Craig took it to seriously, is he incapable of not being such a spoilt kid? :bored:

Fangz 28-07-2005 05:40 PM

Yeah, he said he was afraid people would call him that when he leaves BB, so he's just asking for it, isn't he?

Sunny_01 28-07-2005 05:41 PM

me thinks he protests to much :dog:

Maybe he gets a kick out of it, after all, it's a pet-name given to him by the object of his affection...or is that obsession?

Sunny_01 28-07-2005 05:47 PM

obsession I think

Mike 28-07-2005 05:48 PM

Yeah Craig is just obsessed.

AndyJK 28-07-2005 05:52 PM

I think Craig blew it all out of proportion. It wasn't Craig's features Anthony was comparing as such, more the wig itself and not just to Myra Hindley but to her famous mugshot and 1960s beehive hairstyle (which was common at the time) and which circulated the world after she was arrested and everyone remembers her by.

In later years Myra Hindley had shortish brown hair.

Sunny_01 28-07-2005 05:56 PM

totally agree Andy - you say it so well :hello:

Kore 28-07-2005 05:57 PM

i thought it was hilarious, anybody who didnt think it was funny cant have a sense of humour..LOL.

funny as hell

Aimee 28-07-2005 05:57 PM

I think the makeup Craig was wearing added to the effect and that he really did have a strong likeness to her but, as he has asked Anthony not to repeat the joke, I think Anthony should have respected that request and how he felt about it.

If someone says they are offended by something and you then choose to repeat it that is out of order however strongly you may feel that it is the case and that you are making a valid point. Not to stop is rude in the initial stages but it soon turns to being something far nastier.

Having said all that, not to talk to Anthony for 4 hours was idiotic too so they were both being silly, as lovers often are. :laugh:

MummyJens01 28-07-2005 05:59 PM

Hmmm
 
I think it was a joke that craig took too seriously although i would not have liked to be compared to myra hindley as she is an evil child murderer but Craig did look like her in that wig!!!:devil:

Sunny_01 28-07-2005 05:59 PM

lovers lol - I have said it before but will say it again! Craig is always telling Ant not to say something or other if he listened he would be mute :dog:

Dan_ 28-07-2005 06:35 PM

I found it really funny, Craig needs to stop taking things so easily to heart, Anthony was not comparing him to a child murderer but just the wig and the way he looked in it. I think Craig was the only one not to find it funny.

SMC 28-07-2005 07:33 PM

it was hella funny cuz he really did look like her,
