edited April 2007 in Chit chat
Did anybody watch it?

I thought Gramps was a bit of an evil character.

    Sky +'ed it last night, i quite like Louis Theroux. Some of the nutters he meets really are unbelievable and this lot sound all crazy.

    I watched it. They younger ones are obviously brainwashed. The old boy didn`t want to talk and acted very shiftily I thought. Demonstrating at the soldiers funerals was particularly callous.

    i think by teaching their kids this sort of rubbish and putting them in those sort of dangerous situations there also commiting child cruelty!

    Louis therous tho? - top bloke!

    some of those young women were hot, id have had a go.

    ..and there was one boy who didn't look 100% part of the family if you know what i mean.

    you must be nuts to call a US Marine a fag to his face.
  • edited April 2007
    Yeah, those US Marines looked like they could kick ass.

    It's really unbelievable that these people think it's the right thing to do, to protest at a funeral. I mean, don't they have any sense of common decency?
  • edited April 2007
    no they dont. but then the police really shouldnt be there cordoning them off. they should let them go and protest right next to the grieving family. they would certainly think twice about doing it, if the only thing protecting them from soldiers fresh from a war zone is gods will.

    I saw the trailers for it but I purposely didn't watch the program as it would have seriously wound me up. I don't agree with a lot of policies in the world but if they were protesting at a soldiers funeral then they are asking for a well-deserved good hiding IMO.

    Were they doing it out of some belief they have or was it a series of publicity stunts that simply gets them on TV?

    both i suppose.

    It was pretty scary stuff. The wierdest thing was how media friendly/savvy they were when not at the roadside. They were dead friendly to him (apart from the 'you're going to hell hahaha' thing).

    The old man was a right cunt and purely needs his eyes kicked out.

    you can only hope the marines blow the shit out of their little compound.

    If you go to their website at www.godhatesfags.com, you'll find an open letter Gramps has written to Great Britain, which he posted the night the program aired in the UK.

    It has to be one of the most offensive things I've ever read, containing references to "feces smeared chins" and a rewriting of the British National Anthem with lyrics insulting most of the nation.

    He really is a peach. I can't believe how easily he has duped all of his followers with his childish inane rhetoric. I mean, it's so over the top and puerile. It's like something your seven year old kid would write for a laugh to shock his mates in school.

    Pretty pathetic really.

    Was a fascinating program to watch but i felt so sorry for the kids and one or two of the daughters seemed so brainwashed.

    I still didnt really get their point, okay they dont like homosexuals but the whole anti-war thing was strange as anything. I was surprised they werent racist either, in their 'church' there was a woman with a half-cast kid.

    Looking forward to the rest of his programs

    yep, all that repressed adolescent sexuality... i bet at around 20,21 they'd be gagging for it. i wonder if they'd give me their phone number if i emailed them?

    anyone noticed how all the kids in that picture looked spookily similar? keeping it in the family or what?

    ha ha, just read it. wasn't that bad, got most of it right :)

    the song was a bit lame, but some of it was quite sweet.

    i cant cut and paste so.

    'you are simply a raunchy group of pagans.' was my fave insult.

    I can't add a poll...

    So are you:

    1) British Bastard
    2) U.K. Insurgent
    3) simply a raunchy little group of pagans

    Well as "God hates the world" it doesn't matter anyway, but I'll go for 3 with a little bit of 1 for good measure.
  • edited April 2007
    he'd probably do quite well over here.

    going round calling us sinners and fornicators would see him on his own chat show. he's probably knock the picketing on the head too, due to the weather.

    Are you sure that website isn't simply a wind-up site? I can't believe anyone serious is behind it.

    Although I do like the idea of being a raunchy little Pagan. That sounds fun.
  • edited April 2007
    Yes, raunchy paganism certainly sounds like a religious system I could believe in :)

    Given a severe flaming I once got from some idiot called Carmody (the troll of the sci.math newsgroup), I wonder if the Yanks have the faintest idea what "twit" actually means (in proper, i.e. British, English anyway); I sometimes call myself a twit! :)
    I never make misteaks mistrakes misyales errurs — oh, sod it.

    they prolly heard it in a hugh grant movie.

    I prefer to see Louis T taking on someone who somebody somewhere thinks is normal and maybe changing the opinion of a bigot or two along the way. Just scouting the world for outrageous freaks to film is too easy.

    Maybe he meant to say tw@t? ;-)

    I saw most of it last night and all I can say is what a hatefull, horrible bunch of people. But it's the kids that I feel sorry for. They are being brainwashed and are missing out on life.
