The GUM Clinic are drop in you know!

Thinking, pondering and musing.

why thank you dear

Snap

Laughing at homophobes' idiocy on twitter over Billy/Todd in Corrie.

OOH will it be a best-selling novel

tautology...

Rival for Fifty Shades of Grey

Yeah noticed that. I don't know who posted on here, but apparently one of the tweets said Adam and Eve created humanity. That gave me a good chuckle.

Sounds like my kind of story

You and every other DS member

That was me

Another one said it was a 'homosexual perversion between a priest and a pervert'.

*sighs*

Hehe that's why I've joined

I might actually watch the episode/scenes, seeing as they have caused such a stir

This is the scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRguPqAiCD4

It's not even 30 seconds long, clothes were still on, really do not get why it has caused such controversy

To be fair, there'd be people screaming about that being too raunchy if it was a straight couple, I think the fact Todd unbuttoned his shirt and Billy appeared to be leaning for his chest as is sometimes before a blowjob might have upset some homophobes (although maybe that's my imagination getting carried away)

that was uh..quite nice actually that guy (not the priest one, the other one, sorry I don't normally watch corrie) is quite cute

so that's what they're complaining about? They didn't even show anything!

Sooooo...

Can't wait for Jamie Dornan to get erotic in next year's sequel

Poldark sometimes does manual work, You will like him.

Farmer Ben will probably aspire to being like Poldark

Aaron would deffo snap you up if you resembled him

And here I thought only Gary Sparrow could travel between the 1940s and the present day

Those tweets made me laugh, esp that one. I wasn't sure if it was wrong to laugh or not but I was laughing at the content rather that at it being homophobic if that makes sense

Its like a combination of the paper trying hard to find controversial tweets to write a story then finding that handful made by kids trying to be offensive for the sake of it rather than actually being outraged andoffensive. or at least thats how it came across

It wasn't a shock to see complaints to be honest, but seriously some of these people are straight from the 1900's.


Yeah I was the same. Couldn't sleep so looked through the tweets and laughed at the ridiculousness of them, one of them said it was hardcore porn ffs whilst another said they could never equalise 'hetero sex' and 'homo sex'.

*rolleyes*

They shouldn't base a news article on a few tweets though. A few tweets isn't everyone's opinion.

xactly!

the thread on it is saying there is hundreds but in context about 8mill have watched. you can't please all of the people all of the time.

it was a pathetic article

There's less than 100 tweets surely, I didn't look at them but there wasn't hundreds.

One thing I found funny was the tweets saying they've watched Corrie for the last time. Like they are going to care they get at least 8 million viewers a week, one or two won't matter.
