  1. Wait...so...does the sarcastic smiley mean you really find it a turn on?

     

    Well...some things are just too personal and intimate to be showing them in front of thousands...:naughty:

     

    Exactly my thoughts too! :roftl:

     

    Scut, is there something you want to tell us?? :sneaky2:

    Oh my goodness, no. I put the sarcastic smilie to try to make it sound slightly less cruel. Big mistake in retrospect, I should have just been an outright bitch and not have been misunderstood. :roftl:

     

    She'll probably pull one of those old chestnuts now, like "I don't comment on my private life" sort of thingie:roftl:....

    I think I've gone to the opposite extreme and said too much about my private life on the MFC. :newyear:

  2. I agree with you Scut. I'm of East Asian descent, but have never had anything more exotic than calamari and salmon roe on sushi.

     

    And like Jolene, I remember becoming vegetarian for a month after watching a documentary in Environmental Studies regarding the beef used by fast food chains.

     

    But I can also understand babs and sariflor regarding domesticated animals being used as food. But I wouldn't limit the animals to only cats and dogs. As a child I visited the Philippines and grew close to a pig that was in the yard in a pig pen. After a few days, he was killed to celebrate my cousin's 1st birthday. :blink: I could not bring myself to the table. It was one of the saddest moments I ever experienced as a child. :tears:

    I understand what you mean about domesticated animals but in Korea dogs are also farmed like cattle are here and in the latter case I see no difference between them - they both involve humans raising animals for the purpose of food.

  3. There are drunk people everywhere in my house :thumbdown:

    And theyre playing heavy death metal music.......like honestly, wheres the Mika music :naughty:

    And you're sitting at your computer browsing the MFC. Smart choice. :naughty:

     

     

    BTW, have you submitted our video to the MTVAA's? I'm gonna bug ya to make sure you do. :bleh:

  4. Actally I wanted to go to a festival in France this summer to see him, but at the time stay a week there with my parents, on holiday, but I thought that if he was to cancel I would be :furious: because I already went to London when it was cancelled on december so I decided I won't go.

     

    I think it's not his fault if he's sick but after touring for a year he knows how his voice is, in the DVD he's sick after some gigs so he should take it into account and plan the shows not as close.

    It's a pity that he's so unreliable that you won't go.

     

    I can understand canceling because he's sick but I'm not so sympathetic towards cancelling because of "recording commitments" then going on a trip to China instead.

     

    But he does indeed need to take into consideration that his health didn't hold up well last year and not make the same mistake this year.

  5. About the festivals, it's really a bit like a game of chance at times. For instance his appearance at the Taubertal Festival last summer was never listed on his myspace...

    But he did perform there. Which I hadn't thought he would

    I think it's sad that Mika fans have come to accept this from him. He's a professional and is expected to do his job consistently just as we all are in our own respective careers.

  6. I don't want to start a debate here, but how is electrocuting a farmed dog then eating it different to electrocuting a farmed cow then eating it? That is merely a difference of cultural culinary preference. Outlawing the torture of dogs and more painful methods of killing them such as hanging I can understand but outlawing eating them altogether is hypocritical unless you also oppose the killing and eating of all animals. If you do oppose that then I understand.

  7. The thing is Scut, and please don't take this badly, as I may be mistaken and if so I'm happy to be told:naughty: , but were those festivals actually confirmed by Mika?

     

    At the Brixton thing on the 28th Feb someone asked him if he was going to do these spanish festivals, which were advertised but not on his Mika page, and he said "don't get tickets till we confirm it on mika myspace".

     

    He was quite adamant that until it was confirmed by him, it wasn't "official". That is what I always wondered about these Australian festivals: was this even confirmed by Mika, or just advertised on the site, and hence can it actually be considered a "cancellation" as such?

     

    Obviously, the way it happened doesn't change a bit how the people involved would feel about it, but I think that it's a bit more fair if it wasn't an actual cancellation from Mika.

    Plus if it was in effect not confirmed and then cancelled by him, then really, is he to blame?

     

    He's obviously cancelled things that were confirmed before, and that is totally his responsability, but I don't hold him responsible for the ones that he never confirmed in the first place.

     

    I know how these festivals can be sometimes, announcing lineups that may not have been confirmed by the artists, and then just getting out of the heat by adding a little clause *lineup may be subject to change*.

     

    I just don't find it a very fair situation for anyone.

     

     

    No they weren't on his MySpace. But I've personally never considered a social networking site as a reliable and professional source of artist information.

     

    Festivals don't announce artists willy-nilly until they have agreed with them. He may have not announced it on his MySpace but between him and the festival there'd be some form of contractual agreement. The festival's reputation is at stake: it's damaging to them if artists cancel after they've announced them so they would take it seriously. Mika and/or his management however seem less worried.

     

    If his name was announced in the line-up then he agreed to be in the festival and if he canceled then he is responsible, I cannot see any situation in which he could escape responsibility.
