That's a parody account.

So far of your main 3 critiques of him 2 weren't true and the other was horribly misogynystic. I'd give up now.

You might want to check your facts actually. It's one of many screen captured tweets from his account in 2011, which were all deleted when he restarted his account. Have a look, they are all out there! Including the comments where he says he has to tell Kim what to wear so she doesn't embarrass him. Nice.

As for the misogynistic comment, disliking a person is not misogynistic. If so, every comment slagging off Adele is. Do we need to go back and -1 all of those?

Saying something negative about a woman isn't inherently misogynistic you twerp. But calling her a whore is. It can be said Adele's stage fright is calculated, without it being misogynistic. Calling Kim K a whore is misogynistic. Got it? 

There have been a reasonably number of misogynistic comments on these forums in the past, often directed at the likes of Rihanna and Taylor Swift. But I didn't see much in the way of them directed at Adele. The is Adele "big enough" to headline jokes even seem to have died... You might be able to furnish us with some examples, then I can tell you if they are misogynistic or not :)

So it is. I'd never seen him with that Twitter handle before so assumed it was one of the many fake accounts.

If you're quite rightly able to see why that tweet is offensive why do you think calling someone a vacuous whore isn't?

Yeah, but she did a sex tape and lets people take photos or her so she deserves it or something.


END SARCASM!

I'm not in any way arguing that my tweet is not offensive, I argued it wasn't misogynistic. My references to Kanye tweets  were partly to highlight that my comment about a single person was beeing deemed misogynistic while he was being defended despite making generalised negative comments about women. 

If you consciously make a sex tape that you then get your mother to promote, and then marry someone for the minimum time to fulfill a contract in order to get the financial pay off, then by dictionary definition you are a whore. Whether you like the phrase or not.

Who do you think is going to headline in 2016?

Don't think I need to say anything else after that.

      2026 line-up speculation

      By SweepingTheNation · Posted

      People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing.

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
