h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Err, Well I hadn't either, until some homophobic monkeys with too much time on their hands so helpfully pointed them out .

To show what sort of tenuous link we're talking about here, apparently Cassandra's throwaway line about 'when I was a little boy' is "normalising transexuality in a way that's inappropriate for children's TV". Um.

What's wrong with normalising transsexuality?

It's part of a liberal pinko attempt to brain wash children into accepting things which are abnormal and shouldn't be discussed in polite society. Apparently.

Strange it should be addressed in a homophobic manner seeing as Dr Who is supported by a myriad of gay people.

I think it's a case of a furore that intelligent Sci Fi could be written by a homosexual. Heavens forbid.

Pinko?

I'm so socialist that if you cut me I bleed bright red blood.



(unless it's a venous sample taken in a vacuum of course)

Can you provide a link, Kerr?

Meanwhile - what's wrong with 'normalising' transexuality? Well, maybe I'm some sort of weirdo but I've always thought transexuality was simply another form of 'normal'. As indeed are all people's personal sexual orientations. (imo)

Twenty years or more ago I read the story of the musician Wendy Carlos and found it very interesting as well as poignant. Of course I first knew her as Walter Carlos. I just remember feeling so happy for her, that after a long struggle she had managed to find a way to live that made her feel complete as a person.

I warn you, mad ranting contained within.

Sorry, teh first link should've been:

I've not clicked those links yet, but I just had to say you'd have to be worst kind of looking-for-trouble twat to suggest that that *creature* (lest we forget, a flat flap of skin with the remnants of a face, a creature so alien it could only be realised using CGI) could ever function to "normalise" ANYTHING. The ENTIRE POINT of that character was that it was NOT normal, it was anything BUT normal, and its claims to be "pure" were the worst kind of claptrap. Indeed, Rose made that point, very forcefully, in the show. Weren't these monkeys paying ANY attention?

H.

No.

Apparently even the ref. to having 'a wife, a mistress and a Young Farmer' is yet more proof of the levels of filth Doctor Who is sinking into under RTD's stewardship.

Arseholes.

I think they should find something better to do rahter than looking for such things in a innocent prog such as Dr Who, strangulation would be one thing I'd sugget for them as a more worthwile use of their time...

I clicked on the links.



What a load of crap! Nuff said.

I dont understand any of what your talking about at the moment

What's new!

But I gather some numpties have got their knickers in a twist regarding Russel T Davis slipping in a bit of gay propoganda. Honestly idiots like that would say the same thing if he wrote a story about the Messiah hanging about with twelve other blokes and kissing one of them in a garden.

Oh well cant say I didnt expect it. Infact I had a prechuckle about it when I heard they were letting TVs top writter of bumbandit fiction lose on a certain NZ homophobes holy grail of TV fiction.

Now that's ironic.



PS one of my grndads favourite quips was "That's a lovely dress (to a young neice or some such) I used to have on just like that when I was a little girl"

It was probably something he knicked from the goons knowing him.

one love

>>bumbandit fiction<<

what a MARVELLOUS phrase.

I laughed.

new section in BORDERS perhaps?
