Hairbrush slur in News Of The World
posted by davidt on Monday June 21 2004, @10:00AM

There is a section on the entertainment page of the News Of The World (with Rav and Polly) called 'Pssst' where they basically slag someone off and avoid being sued by not using their name. See if you can guess who this is about...

"Pssst...
This dour singer has convinced the world he's gay, but a female music journalist tells a very different story... and it involves a hairbrush. What a charming man."

Obviously it's hilarious, but also quite offensive. If you'd like to contact Rav or Polly their number is 0207 782 4444 and their email is rav&polly@notw.co.uk

There is an unsavoury comment on page 16 of this 'Newspaper' today.
It appears in a column put together by 'Rav & Polly'...

I don't need to spell out to whom this childish and tasteless comment is referring to, suffice to say that this article is yet another example of the direction in which British journalism is heading.

A bit of advice for Rav & Polly... The only people you are really hurting are your families. You know how much they really wanted you to be good people. It's never too late to do the decent thing...get a life.

    I have to say this is the most amusing story yet! True or not, I wonder who used the hairbrush? The lady or moz? I really can't stop laughing at myself right now!

          Well, that was just enough detail to make me think horrible thoughts....Though I'd rather confine them to the innocuous, mere hairbrushing category!

          Is that a typical entry for this column?

              The Mozzer 'hairbrush' story 'in the NOTW yesterday
              This sounds suspicioulsy like a very old story involving a blonde female journo who also worked for Mozzer when he was in the Smiths. She alledgedly got naked with him but he didnt really know what to do. The story goes that he inspected/poked around her "bits" with the arm of his glasses / or a hairbrush. And that was it"

                My nan's eyes were boggling out of her head on reading that little snippet on Sunday morning. "Oooooh, I can't imagine Morrissey doing anything with a hairbrush!"

                My dad said, "I can't imagine Morrissey doing anything with another person".

                BTW my nan is the legend who, whilst watching Moz on the Jonathan Ross show, turned to me and wondered: "Do you think Morrissey's a bit of a depressive?"

                  Does anyone know why that section of news of the world continues to exist? Let me enlighten you... If you've ever seen Jack Dee's theory on why wicker baskets are still being made (bear with me on this one guys), he claims it is merely to keep the criminally insane busy. One person makes a basket, which gets taken into the next cell, where another person unravels it, and so on. That column, in much the same way, is to keep the crashing bores of Britain busy. One imbecile writes it, another imbecile reads it (and presumably gives a rat's arse). Don't forget this is also the column that insists on trading skirt inches for column inches with Jordan and that Jodie Marsh creature.

                  Still it's a fantastic story... Should have been on the ten o'clock news ;-)
