The obvious thing is that this thread is about Gary Glitter...... hence the reason people are making comment on his song being used in Glee. Angus58 has as much right to add her thoughts and comments to this thread whether you like it or not, without being told by you, what to do.

Yes but Angus complains about everything, I just though she might like to add to her list of things to complain about

I have my dear - just not on this forum It might have escaped your limited concentration and attention that this thread is about Gary Glitter, the convicted paedophile. FOCUS FFS.

[Zippy]

I downloaded Chris Browns last song for free just so I felt less guilty about giving him any money.

[Zippy]

Smithy gets told!

[cub]

This was always going to be an issue. My opinion is this: if GG has paid for his crime then I can't see a problem. His music career was long over before this happened anyway.

Look, his music is out there - and at the time massively popular - so it's hard to ignore forever.

thats a very big IF

by all accounts he has been having sex with children for many years going way back in his travels.

he only got sentenced for molesting two under aged girls(10 & 11). Some would say a very lenient sentence at that.

he is an outright paedophile in every way and would just love to be on a plane back to paedo paradise given half the chance.

[MTVN]

Glitter's hardly the only one who's been convicted of a serious offence and is still earning from past work, this is a bit of a storm in a teacup if you ask me

[Harry!]

People should get money/royalties from their past work regardless of what crimes they have commited. They released it and put hard work in so they should get paid for their work.

but the argument here is that they should not have chosen his work to use in the first place.

knowing that he would gain financially

that said, people still happily quote and celebrate Oscar wilde and he was a dirty paedo too.

Oscar Wilde was GAY - that doesn't make him a paedophile. If you're referring to his famous relationship with Lord Alfred Douglas, Douglas was 21 years old at the time! Or are you privy to secret information that nobody else is? If so, do tell.

yes, my dear, Im well aware of the difference between being gay and being a paedo. Thanks very much.

I wasn't referring to Alfred Douglas either. Although by all accounts it was he who introduced Wilde to the joys of boy prostitutes.

If you want to read up on the life and times of Oscar wilde and conveniently leave out all the stuff about his taste for young underclass and working class boys then go ahead. But I don't.

I have studied Oscar Wilde extensively and have full knowledge about the various rumours flying about at the time, all of which are to this day still unproved conjecture. However he was convicted for being a homosexual, not a paedophile, or perhaps you believe every bit of gossip you hear with no proof or evidence?

Back on topic, after your failed attempt to deflect the argument away from the debate in hand, the fact is that Glitter is a paedophile convicted on hard evidence, testimony and irrefutable proof. If you don't get the difference, I can't help you.

[cub]

My point is you can't simply brush someone off the pop landscape. As others have said Ike Turner abused individuals, as did Phil Spector.

A pop song should stand on it's own as a piece of art.

What a Top Song does the
Glee Teacher wanna touch the younger dancer kids ass?


It was debated on Ch5 Wright Stuff
he claims Paedo Gary will make 100K
on the rights of his song.

Of course when that track was made
he had not been arrested for sleeping with child girls.

Lazy Americans? Really? The UK is the fattest nation in Europe, has an education problem with chavs running the country, a great percentage on benefits, and a huge percentage think that Winston Churchill was a fictional character in a novel. Yes, lazy, right. You know how many things you use now thanks to America? Pfft.

Well.....the Americans certainly didn't give us any of the following:-

Powered flight (and no....it wasn't the Wright brothers!)
Radar
Periscope
Torpedo
jet propulsion

Nor was it any of these either:-

Telephone
Television
Lightbulb
Seisometers
Thermos
Sewing Machines
Fax machine
Tarmac
Penicillin
Tyres
and even the web (due to an Englishman)

or a million other things.


None of this however is anything to do with the likes of Gary Glitter - and Glee using one of songs. But then again, I suppose that's to be expected..... such is their ignorance at times.

Ch4 backs the song saying
"The scene is editorially justified and we do not seek to censor material in the proper context."
