His response is a lot more offensive than Gill's original review, and she has now lodged a complaint with the Press Complaints Commission.

It's weird and cute at the same time, so it got two thumbs up from the internet. Now, someone fun has gone to the trouble of subtitling it. I know you shouldn't say things like this about a baby, but turns out he (she?) is an idiot. He's not making any sense at all. Sheesh! Back to preacher school kid!...panti@ireland.com (Panti)http://www.pantibar.com/blog.aspx?contentID=10468Sat, 31 Jul 2010 01:08:13 GMThttp://www.pantibar.com/blog.aspx?contentID=10467 Which will come as absolutely no surprise to anyone who watched even a minute of that show. Still, it is a sign of how much things have changed that a young teen-popster can come out at the beginning of his career. Though whether he actually has a career ahead of him is still to be seen. Though he'll definitely be playing a gay bar near you in 5, 4, 3, 2... Apparently he's done interviews with number of papers which will be out over the weekend. Here's The Mirror's story. And here's little...panti@ireland.com (Panti)http://www.pantibar.com/blog.aspx?contentID=10467Sat, 31 Jul 2010 00:23:23 GMThttp://www.pantibar.com/blog.aspx?contentID=10458 I will be performing excerpts from my three theatre shows next Wednesday, August 4th, at 2:30 pm in Smock Alley Theatre, Temple Bar, Dublin, and we are looking for an audience.

Statistically speaking anyway. And before you write off this study as superficial bigotry, it actually makes a lot of sense. As this article says: The authors note previous work showing how more attractive people are more successful in their careers and earn more. This puts less attractive people at a disadvantage in the world of work and nudges them towards criminal alternatives. In addition, less attractive people suffer socially, make fewer friends and build less of what ...panti@ireland.com (Panti)http://www.pantibar.com/blog.aspx?contentID=10455Fri, 30 Jul 2010 18:39:58 GMThttp://www.pantibar.com/blog.aspx?contentID=10454Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov revisits the sites of old WWII photographs, rephotographs them, and then combines the two.
