Shattered icons
That bloody advert with Stephen Fry and Paul Merton and their cunting insurance company, is rapidly destroying their iconic status for me.

What have your personal icons done, which disgraces them in your eyes?

He wouldn' ever be my icon
but Johnny Rotten became an even bigger twat with all the countrylife butter shit. It makes me want to get time machine travel back and show him how he goes from being a twat to a fucking twat.

I thought it was funny that Iggy Pop did advert for a company that wouldn't insure him.

Too fucking true
The twat changed my life back in the 70s, turned me into the rebel I have always been. Then he goes on Im a celbrity, and then that fucking butter ad. Bastard. Bang goes my puberty.

Well, I wasn't particularly impressed with Pete Townshend
after all the kiddie pr0n allegations.

Though after John Entwistle popped his clogs, I was initially a little disappointed to read about the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death...had he really spent that night with a nose full of coke and a stripper in his bedroom?

But then, when I thought about it, he was probably enjoying himself when he died, and it's been the most rock n' roll death for quite some time.

I just googled Rock and roll deaths
Gidget Gein of Marilyn Manson did the heroin thing last October. All the rest seem to be non self inflicted or occured at zero speed.

Come on you rock stars, kill yourself properly.

I thought 'good on you, Ox' - show the little'uns how it's done.
but then I'm a twat like that.

That is a fucking superb way to die if you ask me.

Why won't that spacker Doherty fucking OD? I'm starting to think it's all bollocks PR stuff to smokescreen the lack of talent.

When I say 'starting to' I mean 'I've always wondered if'....

I thought the same the other day
and was immediately reminded of Hick's diatribe about losing your artistic integrity once you start sucking Satan's cock of corporate schilling.

I'm sure it's an easy quid but I would have though better of them

Stephen Fry again.
As the shrink in bones. Talk about mugging and sleep-walking.

Apparently,
Fry is going to be Hugh Laurie's brother/relative in House.

Chris Cornell's solo work
particularly that single he did with Timbaland *shakes head*

It's like he can only make decent music when there are better musicians around to tell him not to be shit.

Also, Ally McCoist when he was on A Question of Sport, my childhood hero became a fat laughing stock, cheers Ally.

well, when your childhood hero
is someone like Ally McCoist...

to be fair, he was the only reason I watched that most of the times.

Stephen Fry....again
The adverts for Twinings Tea did it for me - especially the one where he feigns ignorance of the words "Lapsang Souchong". But then, he made his fortune writing the lyrics for the musical "Me and My Girl" so has he always been prone to selling out?
