If Ellis had been making a one-time editorial comment on Thompson and not ripping him off en masse, I'd agree.


If that's the case, ADD boy, than many people owe many others a lot of money. Let's start with Oasis paying the Beatles for ripping them off en masse.

As far as WEF goes, well, as others are saying--it was Ellis's forum to allow whatever discussion he wanted. However, I lost a lot of respect for him when he wouldn't listen to Bissette because he's friends with Alan Moore. That was just rude. It was like ignore by association. The least you can do is hear the other side of the story before assuming it's wrong.

I wrote a song for a topical comedy stage show that goes;

Oh say can you see
Through a telescopic lens
An American child
Is shooting his friends

He may only be aged
But four maybe five
But his cartridge is empty
And his friends aren't alive.

Every few months is gets rolled out, and amended to fit the latest shooting...


Wow, I never realized how big a piece of crap you are until now, Rich. Will you laugh quite as hard if one of your own loved ones dies? Already got a song written for each one's funeral, I'd expect.

Somehow I get the feeling that he doesn't get inspired to write songs about murder in other countries. Just a guess, of course.

Well, the song is about the context that allows for something like that to happen, not the death itself.

Request:

Would someone provide a link to the Bissette/Ellis discussion? Thanks.

Yeah! I bet Rich Johnston doesn't make commentary on England's multiple shooting deaths of teens by teens. Or Canada's!

I agree with Rich and Tom, it's only funny when Americans die!

Yes, and thanks to our Fathers, Grandfathers, etc. using THEIR firearms 60 years ago, Rich is around to make jokes like that. Boy, that was worth it.

That's what's so bad about war, all of the 5 year old paratroopers. I say if we don't let them drive a car, we shouldn't require them to jump out of planes!
