    Sadly, youd be surprised.
    I seen someone post about their neighbours house being robbed and some asked did you call the Gardai.
    "Not yet, going do it now"
    Something like this

    Lol house on fire - totes awks, what’s the no for 911

    Wonder who this is in reference to? Some high profile figure in Irish comedy seemingly.

    Hmmm...

    Had to look her up. First hit on youtube gave me this (NSFW Language & content)



    Now I know comedy is highly subjective, but if you're speaking out about this stuff (which you absolutely should if it happens to you), Maybe the first thing someone encounters about you online shouldn't be the line you "want to molest someone" in the first 30 seconds of your video.

    Also maybe leave out the homophobic/racist content as well...

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,611 ✭✭✭david75

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,167 ✭✭✭Fr_Dougal


    Has Porter been interviewed by the cops yet?

    no need for that..he's been found guilty by social media.

    Joking aside , if anyone was attacked they should report it otherwise its just rumour or hear say.

    My intention there was to satirise the blood lust on the Internet for celebrities on the way down.

    Call me a cynic but I'd say there's a far greater chance there'll be a "story" (i .e. made up) about an attempted suicide/depression etc. than anything of the sort actually happening. And the story will be broken by Barry Egan in an 8 page EXCLUSIVE in the Sindo with his usual journalistic "enthusiasm", all designed to make Porter look like the victim.

    And in the same way his apology (sic.) was an affront to some in the gay community, this story will likely be offensive to those who suffer from depression.

    Sadly I think this is exactly what will happen and people will buy it book line and sinker.

    Totally.

    I can imagine the headline:
    Porter's "long and hard" road to redemption.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 7,611 ✭✭✭david75


    Getting to grips with some hard truths


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,712 ✭✭✭Joeseph Balls


    He has a history of depression though so that's more than likely the outcome however genuine or not

    His whole act us based around smut, no way he recovers unless he manages to completely change his act and start again.

    More likely himself and Conor McGregor will be in the jacks of some pub doing a key each talking about what might have been. All Conors money gone on maintenance for the alleged few kids he has coming all over the place

    He’s behind you :p

    He's a family entertainer according to some posters.
