You must be related to them. That's the only possible reason you're not laughing at them.

No harm in them really. They're just a bit dim and can't sing well.

It's one thing laughing at them; it's another thing entirely going on with the offensive ****e that has been going on the last few weeks on boards. There's enough threads on other fora about the pair. Does that kind of bullying have to spread to Maynooth? Seriously? I know, I know, t'internetz is serious business.

I wonder what's boards stance on abusing children online? Does it even have one. Apparently, you can't wander into the soccer forum and abuse Alex Ferguson, but you can do it to a couple of 17 year-olds.

And no, I'm not related to them, though they are friends of the family.

Grow up, the lot of ye.

University of the Year? :rolleyes: Then where are the ****ing results?

LeixlipRed · 09-09-2009 6:28pm

Hold on a sec, I don't think anyone here went over the top in their criticism of them. They're embarrassingly ****e yes, but I didn't personally insult them and I certainly didn't contribute to any other thread on here. I think you might be slightly compromised by the fact you know them and I think your comments are a tad over the top. Bullying? How so? If we all said it was fantastic we'd be doing them a diservice by deluding them into thinking they were talented enough to make it in the music industry. When you step into the public eye, criticism will follow and their parents (who I assume gave them permission to appear) should have considered that before allowing them to go to the UK to appear in front of 20 million people.

Ha. It's funny that you think Maynooth's award of University of the Year last year has anything to do with a failed audition on the X-Factor, and people's opinions on said audition.

In fairness, if you came across negative comments on the internet about people you knew you'd be upset too. I would be I know.

Well that's a given. But there's stuff relevant to what he's on about it, and that certainly isn't. Just because a handful of students are saying stuff online from NUIM hardly represents the entire University, and you can be sure as hell there's people in UCD, Trinity etc.. that are also saying such things.

My advice to you mate is to wind your neck in.....

Unless thos two lads were forced into performance ála Joe Jackson then they deserve some to be left alone....

If they decided themselves to do this themselves well then they brought it upon themselves, and it is common knowledge that anyone participating in these 'reality' shows are fair game for the sort of commentary that they are recieving.

Those who sow the wind, shall reap the whirlwind.

etc etc etc

Rozabeez · 09-09-2009 7:24pm

Had they performed in a mature and respectable manner, we probably wouldn't be slagging them off.

But, "I want to hear girls shout my name" ?

Sweetie79 · 09-09-2009 8:54pm

feed them with some humble pie and teach how to sing.little out of tune in my modest opinion

internetaddict · 09-09-2009 10:00pm

Doesn't matter what age they are or whatever.. just CRINGE..
Fair play Simon Cowell!

Can't believe they got through..

Sweetie79 · 09-09-2009 10:03pm

maybe because general audience response was good.no worries,they wont go far,let them enjoy their five minutes of fame

allandanyways · 10-09-2009 12:40am

Raaaaaage, I hate the Xfactor's new format. Putting me off watching it.

In other news, I'm going to Dylan Moran tomorrow night. Yay!

Haha! I didn't even notice the apostrophes!

Starts on Monday I'm pretty sure... Open to correction though.

DJ's. Fresher's.

Sigh.

It's a good example of why not to use Apex Light Condensed with bad kerning is what it is.

Non-nerd translation: good font treated badly obscures the 'I'.

thank you!

banquo · 10-09-2009 8:41pm

Don't get me wrong. It's still stupid. Would have worked fine but for the kerning.

Most (good) posters are done by photoshop people with a terrific sense and education and layout. This poster is pretty nice. Just a grammar fail, which is also typical of professional posters/signage.

For anyone with PC or laptop problem during the year I'd highly recommend the 'PC Doctor + More' on top of the Main St. They are very reasonable with their prices and offer a fast and friendly service.

Actually I just remembered the first time I met you FP, you pretty much ran at me in a crowded room and gave me a bear hug. I stand by my opinion that I'm NOT the creepiest person here!

Beau · 11-09-2009 3:46pm

Some dude broke the head on the disabled shower in the gym :mad:

If it's a broken shower head, it was probably a woman.

Yours truly and Banquo were in Ikea today and...there's a picture of mp3guy up, it's true! In the bedding section! Oh, how we laughed.

banquo · 11-09-2009 11:06pm

It's true. It's impossible to convey just how much the guy on the poster looked like the real-life MP3guy. It occurred to us both separately. It was crazy.
