oh and 1 more thing. the media is seriously fucked up. they just cant report a story without making up some bullshit, blaming some innocent group of people or just printing blatant lies. i dont think the media should get any more right to dig into someones personal life than any other random stranger. they have the power to fuck peoples lives up with 1 story, and i dont think that should be able to happen.
and the sun is the worst of the lot.

I think that you can all be very glad that you never saw the article 'proving' how Marilyn Manson made three girls kill a nun in Italy that was published in a trendy girls' mag my scalley sister had. Never mind the fact that the pop music of Italy is so dire that it makes British pop look good and that everyone likes metal in Italy, with Mr Manson being a blatant choice for any little kid who hasn't graduated to heavier stuff yet. A girl I used to hang out with in 6th form college, who was not a metaller, claimed that all the boys she met on holiday in Italy wanted her to translate Metallica and Manson lyrics for them.
Sadly, it's things like that which encourage people to hold bigoted views, eg. a metal girl is not subject to the same social norms as a trendy girl and so it is acceptable to beat her up for looking different; my house mate should be attacked in the street for being a 'gay goth'. I can think of many reasons for hitting Craig, but as someone who lives with him, I think I have more right than most.
In fact, I tell you what. Talk about media corruption. I think that the next one of us to be dissed or attacked should sue The Sun for slander and defamation of character, since that is essentially what it amounts to.

Oh and further to my prejudice rant:
When a hip-hop fan who has been pestering me for the past few months starts ranting about how rock music is all bad apart from Metallica, I shouldn't listen to it, and his music is better, he is missing the massive glaring obvious point that both our musical styles share the exact same root. Way back in history the Klan were very very unhappy about the beat of rock music because it used black rhythms. They didn't call it that, of course, they said something more bigoted. They claimed that this crossover of musical styles would corrupt white youth. Every single person who has gone on a moral crusade against the supposed bad influence of rock since then is merely delivering a descendant rant of this godawful racist shite, something that I think should be remembered whenever anyone sees one of those Parental Advisory stickers that Zappa once got so pissed off about. Oh yes, and add to that common musical history the blatant bluesyness of Sabbath. I think this schmuck bloke needs to get a fucking life and leave me alone, plus perhaps consider that I am not his girlfriend, nor ever intend to be, and that I find any man attempting to alter me because he doesn't like who I am immensely offensive. Basically: This guy thinks I'm pretty. He doesn't like me though. And me = metalhead. If he was a nice person, someone I'd like to be seen with and to spend my time with, he wouldn't care. And I will be dead before I fancy anyone who habitually wears a tracksuit.

This sounds like someone who needs a good kicking.
Bring forth the spiked baseball bats.
