Point is though that it's not like nobody notices when these happen (yes, even in England and Wales), let alone kick up a stink about them. So much so, in point of fact, that far more attention is drawn to the story than it would have received were it not for the embargo.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

May I just note that I don't care the least bit where Elton puts his dick or if his usual dick haven is open for others too. I'm also just a little bit unconcerned over who's dominating whom. I don't know these people, I don't have to work or to deal with them and they, while popular, haven't got any influence over politics or whatever else might concern us as a society.
Love Elton's music. Always did. But that's about all I need to know about him or his personal relationships.

I wouldn't have been interested if I wasn't supposed to know.

As a tactic for getting a non-story in the news, it works like a bad dream.

As always Aractus, you care about really weird things.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't know why anyone would consider the National Enquirer or the Sun "news".

It's about fucking and dominating. So they're kind of news, if anyone wants to know who's fucking who.

Or who is killing who. The rise of Jerry Spinger media started in the 70s and Walter Cronkite saw it coming. There is a saying in news "news media" "if it bleeds it leads". News should not be reported like the Oracle of Oedipus, but humans love drama.

Yes, sadly we have been robbed of gladiator fights and public executions. So we need something else to keep the blood pumping.
