Chris Moyles blantant homophobia.
 

Yesterday morning I got in a taxi and to my disgust he had Chris Moyles on the radio. He did this spoof of Evergreen by Will Young which was full of homophobic jokes. He really disgusts me.

And please no Moyles fans saying 'Oh but he's friends with Aled & Scott Mills'.

i thought he was also gay?

I don't like him because of what he said this morning/yesterday morning.

He was speaking about his appearence on 'Who Do You Think You Are?" and he said on his radio show that he didn't visit Aushwitz although many people do even if they dont know any Jew's.

When I type it, it doesn't really sound as offensive, but it was if you heard it...he said some other stuff too.

He is friends with Aled and Scott though.

Oh dont be so sensitive

I didn't hear it but is it possible it was meant to be Ironic? Because I doubt the beeb would let a serious homophobic song play after the sh*tstorm over Jonathon Ross.

chris who?:conf2:

Chris Moyles just isn't funny.

He's a ridiculous, pathetic bully.

It was really homophobic. It was blantantly making fun of gay people and to the one who said I was being sensitive, good to know your supporting homophobia.

He's a fat sack of shxt, period.

I know. The way he acted with Nicola Roberts. On his radio show, from what I've heard, all his does it shout & I think to myself "I wonder if he knows how many people aren't laughing and he is just a prick".

I'm not, I just know when a joke is a joke. OK it might be offensive but I repeat its a joke. It isn't supposed to offend, it depends how you interpret it.

The thing I find hilarious he slags people of for the way they look when he is so gorgeous!

I loved it when Katie Price said on Celebrity Juice 'he slags everyone of, he should take a look at his fat self" (talking about the Nicola Roberts situation).

I appreciate that it was a joke. But I don't think it's something to be made fun off. Gay people are already discrimated against every minute.

Comedians will pick up on anything to joke about - because that's what comedy is about. It depends on your tastes when it comes to that, but I think it's a bit of an overreaction to say he is homophobic when whatever he said on the radio is in the interests of entertainment. Comedians can make remarks that are verging on racist, homophobic, sexist etc. because they are hot topics that are just there for the taking. Rowan Atkinson even protested against Government legislation that would have meant comedians can't make jokes about anything -ist, so it's still legal, and I think people need to learn to take a joke a bit better and not jump on the P.C. bandwagon and call OFCOM when they feel offended.

Oh and just for the record, I'm not a Chris Moyles fan - just somebody who thinks it's about time the P.C. OFCOM brigade calmed down a little bit!

He speaks the truth! I'm not a huge fan but it obviously seemed to be quite ironic/edgy humour and it obviously wasn't that bad since it was allowed on the radio.

Katie Price complaining about someone who slags everyone off! hmmm...... Anybody want to take this one?

I don't think thats right. And looking at your sig 'Anti Racism club founder' homophobia is exactly the same as racist.

If you hear it then you'll understand.

But almost everyone is discriminated against in some form or another, and there are a lot of discrimination groups. But its these groups which make jokes. Put a ban on making fun on these groups and theres not much left to laugh about.

Homophobia is not the same as racism. I'm not saying that I'm right and you're wrong or vice versa, because it's a matter of opinion and there's no definitive right or wrong on this kind of issue, but I think a lot of people fail to understand some types of humour, Chris Moyles' humour being an example - he is very tongue in cheek and rude - that's not because he's an evil person, but it's because that's what has made him famous. I can totally understand that people are offended by a parody of a Will Young, but these people are clearly not taking into account that not everybody will be offended and not everybody will understand your point of view.

Oh and just to say I don't actually like Chris, I'm just defending this kind of thing (like when other comedians do it etc). I can't stand the man :tongue:

He doesn't write the lyrics, comedy Dave does so he must be the homophobic
None of the team are homophobic and have even supported gays in the past.
They are making a joke of something, its comedy but its people like you who take it too seriously and complain who spoil things
It seems nobody can say anything which is the slightest bit offensive anymore.

Homophobes r only scared of what there not.
