The UN Secretary General Race is Getting Nasty
As everyone knows, Annika is supporting Elton John for UN Secretary General. I am supporting Boy George. Well, my candidate has gone on the attack:


In an interview with The Times newspaper, DJ and former singer Boy George has compared Sir Elton John’s decision to sing with Eminem as the same as deciding to duet with Pol Pot.

His outburst relates to Sir Elton’s decision to perform a duet with Slim Shady at the MTV awards in 2002.

Pot was responsible for the genocide of millions of his own people in the ‘70s.

In the interview Boy George holds Eminem responsible for giving homophobia an acceptable face on the streets. “It’s like me singing with Pol Pot,” he said. “People will call you fag or whatever occasionally, but it’s so more prevalent now and he has to take some responsibility.”

Pulling no punches in his interview with the newspaper, George went on to say about Eminem: “He’s an arsehole and I think every gay person with a brain cell found it hideously offensive to see Elton performing with him.”



Here are additional comments at trustthedj.com:


I think Elton would sing with anyone if it meant more attention. I mean, what does he have in common with Eminem? If I did a duet with Britney Spears, it would only be an attempt to steal her audience and I can't see the point. Elton said, 'Eminem is the most important artist since Bob Dylan'. Come on! Dylan was rallying against stereotypes and social oppression. I don't really want to live in a world where everyone thinks the same. The whole Eminem thing has been fuelled by the media, who secretly love him because he represents their underlying opinion that men shouldn't [have sex with] other men....


However, Boy George doesn't limit his attacks to Sir Elton:

The KARMA CHAMELEON singer has labelled [George] Michael "a hypocrite", claiming his arrest stereotyped all gay men as "rampant".

He fumes, "I have a problem with Madonna's devotion to Kabbalah, because I watched a documentary that said that Kabbalah believes that gay people are diseased and can be cured."

English pop star BOY GEORGE has launched a scathing attack on makeover TV show QUEER EYE FOR THE STRAIGHT GUY, telling the gay hosts to "leave straight people alone".

Now some would argue that Boy George's behavior is not appropriate for a potential UN Secretary General, and would disgrace the office formerly held by such luminaries as Kurt Waldheim and Avery Brundage. (Heh.)

But if we're going to have straight-talking John Bolton as our potential Ambassador to the UN, then why not put Boy George at the top of the heap?

Bolton once called North Korea's leader Kim Jong Il a "tyrannical dictator." That label earned Bolton Mr. Kim's reciprocal moniker "human scum."

Sounds like Boy George and John Bolton would be a good match.
