The Gaily Mail Part One

So the hot topic at the Daily Mail this week is the hyper-sensitivity of those troublesome homosexuals. Apparently we're a bunch of kill-joys who can't take a bit of harmless ribbing (for your pleasure).

Poor Chris Moyles has been wrapped on the porky knuckles for his hilarious 'spoof' of Will Young's hits 'Evergreen' and 'Leave Right Now'.

Determined to deny the world one of its greatest comedic minds, these limp-wristed do-gooders have complained that lyrics such as "Mmm I like to wear a silly hat, I get camper by the hour, oh would you look at the muck in here. I'm Will Young and I'm gay." might be considered offensive by some. How very dare they? Can't they appreciate subtle, nuanced humour when they hear it? And who cares if it's about as funny as tax legislation.

But what's really interesting, is that in covering this story, Daily Mail Reporter (well, wouldn't you want to cling onto your anonymity?) must have been faced with a strange conundrum. Three ideal figures of hate, but a single agenda-led approach to maintain. Well, to help poor old DMR next time around, I've prepared a simple triangle diagram to help them decide who to bash. The only rule - you can only ever cover one side of the triangle. So choose your two preferred targets and judge away...
