I'm particularly fond of this little snippet of wisdom from JB:
Julie Burchill writes articles of the bitterest bile with just the occasional gem of genuine wit, but I usually can't be bothered to plough through the shit to get to the diamond. There was a particularly unpleasant article by her in the Observer Woman supplement this weekend about the guy who does "How To Look Good Naked" .... now I hate shows like that with a passion but Burchill's horrid misandry and contempt for gay men was quite vile.
Madonna? Don't like anything she's done since "Ray Of Light" but she put on a cracking show when I went to see her. What she does or says in her personal life is of no interest for me.

Pleasant and unpatronising
I think Burchill does the shock-jock thing relatively well, for England. The problem she has is the same as most of those writers relying on an income from the Sunday ‘papers and that’s that they have to churn something out every seven days – it’s what pays the mortgage for this middle-aged woman.
If someone allowed her to write once a month for the same money I think she might come up with a consistent quality, but she’s got to fill the space between adverts weekly like all her brethren so it's generally garbage. I doubt she'd disagree.
Did well this week though; if her article has garnered a thread of 60+ posts on this board, it will have stirred things up elsewhere as well.
The editors and sales department will be pleased with her.

The problem with Burchill is she reminds me of the kid you find in every high school class. The one that doesn't understand a subject, will make no attempt to understand it, but will expend twice the effort jumping up and down saying it's crap and drawing penises on everything in an attempt to get a reaction out of everyone else. The one that holds up everything for everyone else while you attempt to reason with someone for whom reason is what you find in a Yorkie bar.
Thankfully, I don't have to write reams of paperwork on why Julie Burchill got removed from my class for trying to set another student's hair on fire with a bunsen burner.

I would never dream of slagging someone off because of the looks Nature has given them, but Burchill has allowed just that by saying absurdities such as this:
Julie darling, those living in glasshouses etc etc. No amount of gym workout or surgery is likely to work on you my dear.
Oh, and you are a shit attention-seeking unfunny talentless troll. Even Jeremy Clarkson has some redeeming qualities. At least he can be funny sometimes.
What an extraordinary 'article'. I mean, wtf????

I didn't read the article, but if I thought about it long enough I could probably write a fair facisimile of it.

That's weird because she's just co-written a (shit, right-wing) book with a gay man: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Not-My-Name...r_1_14?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1220958281&sr=1-14
I loathe and despise her but always thought she was pretty sound on gay rights.

maybe if those two dickwads fuck off rather than LC spew vile references to my alcohol problems we can have a decent debate about Julie B and Madonna??
i really didnt deserve anything so cuntish, London Calling. Fuck you anyways, i dont care man.
Julie Burchill at least has the balls to point out that Mad's bod is beginning to look less like a fitness gurus and more like Hulk Hogans. She forgot about the tracksuits though!!!!
Another reason why Madonna is a genius - she wears the same ropey old tracksuits when she goes out so papped pictures of her are worthless. Noone would ever know what day in the last five years it was taken so, relatively, she gets left alone.

Yep, you can really only date the pics by which adopted children she has with her.
