Georgina Baillie in The Guardian:
Time needs to go by before I can face my family. My grandparents are from a different generation. Things that are acceptable, or almost acceptable, to me are not acceptable to them, so it's going to be difficult for a while.
...
They knew that I did topless stuff, because my grandad actually introduced me to the photographer for page three shots.

If the media is making money off you, you're entitled to make money off them. That's a rule Max Clifford taught me.
Says it all, really.
― Brother Belcher (Marcello Carlin), Thursday, 27 November 2008 08:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Well, it's either that or "not make money", i.e. the same crap happens, but the press keeps it all.

The moral is: don't lose the video camera.
If indeed she actually "lost" it.

TV actor John Barrowman exposing himself during a live radio show 'overstepped the mark', the BBC has admitted.
― James Mitchell, Monday, 1 December 2008 13:40 (fifteen years ago) link
What really offends me about Radio 1 is that its presenters are incapable of shutting theirgobs for even one nanosecond and generally spout robot crap at maximum volume whenever they are open, which is 100% of the time.
But I doubt any emails of protest from me would result in their dismissal.

It also said Mac apologised at the end of the show and that no complaints had been received last night.
Probably 3000 complaints by now, after the Mail decided it was a Good Story and therefore published pornographic material which they knew would be offensive to its readers.
― Brother Belcher (Marcello Carlin), Monday, 1 December 2008 15:17 (fifteen years ago) link
We were listening to this: Bman apologised for saying "bollocks" but that was all.
Although, we did finish our journey before the show ended.

Doesn't all this kind of outrage tell a story? The radio and television broadcasters have been infiltrated with loonies who are frankly amoral: not knowing what is right from what is wrong. These dregs of society bring along more dross in the name of 'entertainment' some of which is quite vile and demeaning. Organisations who have the ability to enter our homes and thrust their warped visions of entertainment upon us and our children via TV and radio should be brought to accountability once again - AND HELD THERE !.Click to rate Rating 17

Lots of comments I note about Barrowman "getting above himself" and "getting above his station" and "I liked him until he 'came out'."

It's bizarre isn't it? Like the ventriloquist who used to perform on the radio apparently, back in my nan's day. Not that he got his hampton out. As far as we know.
― GamalielRatsey, Tuesday, 2 December 2008 08:13 (fifteen years ago) link
And then Educating Archie went on TV and (a) the ventriloquist was revealed to be crap, (b) the TV show was downright creepy (dummy sitting on sofa entirely separate from vent, etc.) and (c) killed the act stone dead, so it did.
― Brother Belcher (Marcello Carlin), Tuesday, 2 December 2008 08:15 (fifteen years ago) link
"Educating Archie is another case of a radio show which took over the country in a way no radio show could do now. Kiddies licked Archie Andrews lollipops and washed themselves with Archie Andrews soap; there were Archie Andrews comics and annuals, and the dummy's face appeared everywhere."
Sounds like weird science fiction dystopia, or kakatopia for pedants, doesn't it? Like a Fall song.

This week a prominent Australian television bloke was threatened with video of him getting arseholed and collapsing on the pavement. In the UK the smear campaign would go on for months and his career would be in tatters/hyperboosted, but here he merely addressed the media with 'so what, who cares etc' and everyone forgot about it.
Our press wants to be like yours, but we don't have enough stuck-up reactionary twats for it to carry through.
