Niall Horan's nephew fan site

    I don't normally pay any attention to celebrity crap or start threads on the subject but this particular "news" made my blood boil. The jist of the story is that Niall Horan of One Erection fame has a nephew who has become popular among their fans. So his parents set up a "fan site" for him and intend on selling coins and even starting a fanzine.

    I mean, seriously, what the actual fcuk. He's one. They should be doing everything they can to keep him away from the spotlight to give him as normal an upbringing as possible. Instead they're doing the opposite. I can't be the only one that thinks this is messed up and just downright wrong?

    Meanwhile, controversial 20ct gold-plated coins of Theo will also be available to buy online for €22, with the promise of a Twitter follow from baby Theo’s account.

    'A promise of a follow from Baby Theo's Twitter account' OMFG take my €22 now !

    Gobshītes. The parents and the fans.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Cash in before Niall is resigned to the dustbin and the new peroxide blond kid comes along.It seems fair enough.

    Hang on someone that's relatively famous, Has a family member, Who then becomes famous from being related ? I hate this kind of crap.

    This is accurate. I reckon they should try and milk it as much as they can while your mans five minutes are still happening. There will come a time within the next decade when nobody gives a toss about Niall Horan, since all of his fans will be adults by then.

    This baby can't speak, spell or write yet it has 252 tweets to his name. This baby now has 304,000 followers on Twitter.

    But what I was wondering was if you have 304,000 followers and 0.01% of the general population are paedophiles does that then mean this baby is being followed by 304 paedophiles ?

    Maybe his parents thought they were being smart by using their baby to cash in on Niall Horans fame by selling €22 gold coins. But the unintended consequence is that they've now attracted a small army of child molestors to their child and are keeping them entertained with new and fresh pictures.

    Parents can be so dumb sometimes. Or greedy. Or both in equal measure.

    It's a bit of a stupid story alright, but did you really have to turn it into a paedo-panic?

    Haha well an army of paedos might be going a bit far. But 304,000 people is a lot of people. It's inconceivable that the baby isn't being followed by some of them.

    I don't have kids but if I did I'd be very careful that pictures of my kids only got shared with friends and not publically available. I'd say most parents are wary of that these days and while they don't have to be overly paranoid about it they would also be well aware that amassing 300k followers for your baby is going to attract some people who have bad intentions. Why even draw attention to your baby in that way ?

    Imagine if the worst did happen that baby 2,3 or 4 years from now. Everyone would look back and blame the parents for publicising their baby on a Twitter account, the media would tear them apart and social services would be asking questions too, and rightly so IMO.

    Do you really think paedophile's work that way? That they see an infant with a twitter account and think "Oh, now there's a sexy baby, I'm going to molest him". Sexual predators are opportunists which is why the majority of children molested are molested by people they know.

    No, but presume its the same as when someone sees a pic of a sexy Kelly Brooke and decide "I am defo going to have a **** over that when I get home".

    Can't blame them. It's not as if one of their family member's are in the most popular band on the planet making millions.

    Nah, paedos generally tend to work this way

    Its extremely worrying that the child's parents are perfectly happy with having photos of their son all over the internet. Both parents need a kick in the ass if this is their only way of making a quick buck.

    I think the people buying were extremely stupid, and it is a bit pathetic by the parents, but if you were offered a few million for posting say 50 pictures of your kid and tweeting a few times, would you take it? I would

    If Niall Horan's soiled toilet paper had a twitter account it would have a following.

    They should get in quick with the "Niall Horan's Nephew" biography, financial services endorsements and "exclusive" range of aftershaves.

    But celebrity status is addictive, and the outlook is not good. When it all goes pear-shaped he'll have to slum it in the murky world of cruise ships and panto. When those opportunities dry up and he's utterly desperate, he will probably resort to being interviewed on Derek Mooney's radio show, which in showbiz terms is "rock bottom".

    If he wasn't famous he'd most likely struggle to get the attention of your average Mullingar mowler. And the same goes for Niall :p

    Are you seriously saying that within that babies 304,000 Twitter followers there isn't some paedophiles looking at his pictures and enjoying it ? If you think there isn't then you are extraordinarily naive.

    If I had children I wouldn't want one single paedophile looking at pictures of them. One is one too many. You seem to think it is good parenting to flaunt your child publically on the internet. No-one gave this baby a choice in his new found 'fame'. I don't agree with that, get over it.

    If it was my kid I would have done the same! Cash in for two or three years and then delete the website. Maybe put the child up for adoption then and keep my millions without the little scrounger bumming off me when hes older

    I can't imagine they'll be getting anything close to that amount of money.

    Aw fuck! I was expecting a juicy story about that dancing fruitcake in a kilt and dog collar from Scartaglen. Famously referred to as Fr Niall Hogan. Yes, the one that stopped that Brazilian from getting gold in the Olympics. Far more interesting cove than that sparrowfart of a prepubescent singer.

    It's like that Frankie Boyle joke from a few years back - Why is it that paedos always have beards and glasses and what is it about that look that children find so sexy ?

    Horrific but funny, classic Frankie Boyle, pure shock factor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 293 ✭✭Manc Red


    What does the childs parents do? Seems like the child would have been in the public eye anyway so I think it's best they try to make their money when they can.

    Seems a bit lazy to be piggybacking off of your younger brothers fame tho.
