Lets not forget Dermot like Konnie has an ear piece in at all times and is told what to say, we dont know Dermot even knew what he was saying.
I am going to be honset and tell you I didnt even know what Sophie's choice was I had to go and google it to find out what all the fuss was about. I thought he was talking about Sophie from the girl band.
Nicking the link from someone else above, but the more its seen, the more people can click it and shushhhh. Its sunday night, have a shower and go to bed. Don't spend the night worrying that Diva Fever's number is up in more way than one.
That's outraaaaageous. You are implying someone is less than clean. Personally, I wouldn't dream of having a shower. It's just not on.
Let me get this right....................this thread was started because somebody really and truly thought that Dermot was comparing the x factor to the haulocost:confused

What was funnier was that someone stating they were an expert in holocaust studies then pulled on their jackboots and turned the thread into their own little dictatorship.

Lol this kinda stuff is too sad, especially "Report him to OFCOM!" especially if thats serious!
Shows have been referencing "Sophie's choice" forever! Its a really easy joke to make but as long as you know what SC is then its funny. Deal with it.
I think it bears saying again that 'Sophie's Choice' is not a genuine Holocaust event -- its an over the top, melodramatic twist in an over the top, melodramatic work of fiction. People referencing it aren't referring to the Holocaust at all, but to the air of over-the-top, overwrought melodrama that permeates the book.
And let's not forget that the whole point of the book is a guy living in modern America learning about the Holocaust and deciding that there are parallels between having to choose which of your two children will be gassed and the BS he puts up with in his own day-to-day life.
It's a ridiculous book and one I'm perfectly happy to see people refer to in the context of ridiculous, melodramatic choices.
It was just stupid remark which I think Dermot was told to say through his earpiece
The film Sophie's choice for me must be one of the worse films ever that I have seen
This phrase is used a lot nowadays to indicate an almost impossible choice.
Just google it and see how many articles use the phrase.
It has no reference to the actual holocaust but references a fictional choice that was written about in a book set in that time for whatever reason.
As someone else said it could have easily been set in another scenario like the invasion of Britain by the Romans, modern day Afghanistan or Stalin's Russia.
This shows what the internet does now. It allows people to whip up a frenzy on a forum which then gets reported by the lazy media as 'fans fury' and thus snowballs into something else altogether.

Give Dermot a bit of credit ( or maybe debit in this case ) that the vast bulk of what he says comes from his own head.
The SC thing is being taken way out of proportion by some. I don't think it was the best thing to say, but report to OFFCOM, give us a break !
This has really upset me. I've Googled the Holocaust and apparently hundreds of people were killed and stuff, and the thought of Dermot pushing someone's kids into a gas chamber is just horrifying and I'm glad the OP brought this important subject up.
I think, God, what if it were my three year old neice who was being sacrificed so that Diva Fever could survive? It's heartbreaking.
Or what if I had to choose between John and Edward? I love John and his snaggled teeth, but he'd be so alone without Edward.
I've been crying all day about this. Does anyone know the phone number of OFCOM? Or maybe even David Cameron's direct line?

17 by tomorrow morning. Good odds on that at the bookies too. :eek:

Love it!
I think it was appropriate situation given that it is commonly used in pop culture for much more frivolous situations.

As we all know, at least one is soon to be facing a firing squad.
I hope someone starts a Facebook campaign about this straightaway. Ringing OFCOM is not the solution.
Exactly. Holy shit people just find absolutely anything to find offensive don't they. Says a lot about our country and political correctness.

With this, and Gabbo due to be shot by Robert Mugabe's personal firing squad, I don't think I can take anymore.
It's just awful.
He was referencing a FICTIONAL event, the decision made by the character "Sophie" in the novel and film "Sophie's Choice"
I too am in shock - this morning I have discovered there is reason to believe that some of the contestants may be GAY!! :eek:
