    He offends my sensibilities with his insufferable, condescending and morally superior droning. Is there any way to start a campaign to remove him from the national broadcaster?

    Without delay, "I speak for the populace on the basis of my two gay friends." Sorry, to alter the words of an iconic song is tantamount to rewriting history.

    Some presenter on a radio station that hardly anyone listens to anymore, and whose suggestion that a swearword in Fairytale of New York should be censored has caused the perennially outraged to become outraged.

    Is he the lad who phones up people and asks them to say they love him? It's a bit Weinstein-ish for my taste.

    You're fighting the wrong battle.

    Ahh here will you stop with that crap. It's a radio presenter who is giving a prime time slot on our national network that people are fleeced to pay for.

    One way would be to start a campaign on the internet.

    Could someone use a line from Fairytale of New York to describe him?


    Him and his ilk are best ignored to be honest.

    The days of 2FM presenters being household names are long gone.

    That there would be the one who told lies on Twitter about Peter Casey.

    After Tubridy raided the RTÉ canteen for guests for the late late.

    I never got to see that tweet - does anyone have a screen grab of it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53,028 ✭✭✭✭ButtersSuki


    I'm just waiting for Ciara Kelly to chime in on this.......:rolleyes:

    Still up on her twitter. Just do a Google of Jennifer Zamparelli Peter Casey and its easy enough to find. You don't need a twitter.

    How does a radio presenter not understand context in a song?

    The song isn't singing "hey, you're a ******' in a really condescending, targetted fashion. It's being used as a general common-for-the-time, insult, in fairly light-hearted fashion.


    I'm overweight, and I feel offended the word fat is used in a song. I am particularly offended by Fat Boy Slim, as I feel the name partially targets and identifies me. I would like this name removed from all media, past and present, including, but not limited to, verbal, print, online text and any images or logos which may bear the name in writing, using any fonts.

    I would also request that this name not be mentioned in future, even when relating or discussing to the past. I want people to feel uneasy mentioning it, for fear of me getting offended, or someone else getting offended on my behalf.

    I also want Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls" to have the same treatment, as it is not only offensive to me, but is sexually degrading to women... somehow.

    Oh God, between this clown and Ray D'arcy trying to end the Angelus, you have to wonder did any of them ever grow out of being 15? I mean, if you got rid of D'Arcy or McDermott, you'd save a fortune.

    When 'you scumbag, you maggot etc' is hurled, she's not directing it at a gay man-she's directing it at a former lover who essentially wasted her life and wasted his potential.

    He's paid to provide a service. If he doesn't want to provide a service, then fire him. Similar to how certain Muslim workers were fired for not wanting to handle alcohol bottles and cans of beers at the till in supermarkets.
    Plenty of gay people like that song-it's a heartbreaking song, because it's painfully honest. I know gay people who use the word 'F*ggot' as well as 'homo'. (A gay friend mentioned the homo thing when discussing the difference between gay weddings and traveller weddings, in a joking fashion. Like 'if you think travellers have flashy weddings, wait until you see the weddings homos have'. This was around the time of Same sex marriage vote-I was voting yes, obviously.)

    Will he ban Eminem for using the N word? Will he ban the likes of Kanye for also using the N Word? Nope, he'd be sacked if he tried. (They pay to have their tracks played on radio-it's promotion, innit).

    Fairytale always storms up the charts every year-and not the cover versions, but the real, uncensored version. Even Dustin the Turkey used the 'f*ggot' line-and if you have less bottle than a puppet, it's time to reconsider your life.
