Maybe I'm making too much of this but over the past few weeks i've heard this a number of times. Basically, John & Edward being used as the butt of jokes that imply stupidity "Oh Jedward probably think a budget is a small bird" etc etc This happens quite a lot.
Then on QI, Danny Baker used Louis Walsh for the same purpose - he was describing a particularly unintelligent fish as "the Louis Walsh of the sea"
Am I reading into things? I mean I know John and Edward aren't exactly genuises - and they are annoying - but christ there are far far less intelligent people in showbiz if you really must make jokes like this.
And poor Louis? Since when is he the standard reference for a thicko ?!
I can't help thinking this is only because they are Irish.
I know anti-Irish remarks aren't exactly unusual in British papers - particularly the Mail - but just how widespread is this I wonder?
A lot more widespread after the events of the last couple of weeks I'd imagine.I know anti-Irish remarks aren't exactly unusual in British papers - particularly the Mail - but just how widespread is this I wonder?
I'd make jokes about Louis Walsh and JEdward too.
Idiots the lot of them.
why be embarrassed? It's not like they have led us into an unjust war or mocked the special olympics is it?A lot more widespread after the events of the last couple of weeks I'd imagine.
Really, what do you expect when we've the two brians embarrassing us?
... mocked the special olympics
Have to say that made me laugh. The very thought of them actually doing something so bad.
How is multi millionaire Louis Walsh an idiot??
Well the unjust war is at least about securing oil.why be embarrassed? It's not like they have led us into an unjust war or mocked the special olympics is it?
Well the unjust war is at least about securing oil.
Im wondering about that myself. If thats idiocy I wish I was an idiot.
