Fmbm Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 No the political rant. He didn't even work his way up with some rants about junk food ingredients and YouTube copyright hassles like Calvin Harris. Just full on into human rights abuse perpetrated and dismissed by various governments. Again, wow. Oh. I'd rather he didn't. Probably just me though... I really hate politics-and-things-relating-to-politics tweets He probably had a few drinks :rolls_eyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'd rather he didn't. Probably just me though...I really hate politics-and-things-relating-to-politics tweets Well I'd prefer it if he kept his shirt on in his videos, but I like the fact that he is just breaking free all over the place these days. I was surprised when he posted that article about Dubai and asked for opinions but he never quite offered up his own on the matter. This was very different. I had to groan when I saw some of replies coming in to him at the time though. A few made it quite obvious that they really don't care what he says and only seem to be following him to get his attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In time, I'll probably learn to care for issues that are happening around the world, but I try and tune it out most of the time. The news is always so depressing, and I really don't need that right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The news is always so depressing, and I really don't need that right now. Yes I am in that frame of mind at the moment too. When I was younger my mind boggled at the idea that there were other girls out there living in complete ignorance to what is going on in the world around them. I envied how easy their lives and how empty their minds must be since they were so oblivious. Now I know exactly what it's like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iadoremika Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm not gonna lie. When Mika said he wants a diamond pig, I thought he wanted a real one encrusted with diamonds. I was thinking, "WTF? Where do you get those? I don't even think it's possible". Then I clicked the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lollipop_monkey Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 He must spend a lot of time reading news sites. I would guess the political rant and coveting of a diamond (eating) pig both stemmed from reading BBC News. I'm surprised that he's so up on his current affairs - surprised, and proud.

violet_sky Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Oh. I'd rather he didn't. Probably just me though... I really hate politics-and-things-relating-to-politics tweets You are not alone. I thought the same thing. And I read that after one of my last posts was about how I appreciate him to keep out of politics. Makes me feel the tiniest bit foolish. Maybe he just thought it was time for a highbrow tweet in between diamond pigs and K girls. He hasn't posted about his book list in a long time either.

Just full on into human rights abuse perpetrated and dismissed by various governments. Again, wow. I liked those tweets. It made me happy to know that he isn't an airhead pop tart, and he cares about stuff like that. I wouldn't want him going on and on about serious stuff all the time, but you like to think your idols () are balanced people, with brains, and opinions on stuff other than just what shirt goes with what pants. Or doesn't, as the case may be . So yeah, I was a ittle bit 'wow' too . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soaring Simpson Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 He does make a bit of a point of mentioning that he follows the news- which I like. He told a bbc interviewer that he had their newspage as his homepage to stop him living totally in a fantasy world, he said something about the bad economy when someone asked him about Madonna, and when he was in LA he tweeted that he was dossing round watching the news, or something. And the Dubai thing. I like it- I think he gets it right, showing interest and concern, but with no hint of "great- a captive audience- lets push this or that point of view" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I expected he was paying attention to the news and had opinions. I just didn't expect he'd ever express them publicly. I suppose his opinion on this subject is hardly controversial in the western world, but he never rants about anything for 3 tweets, muchless a human rights abuse issue.

E4 Music isn't on any more, everything is on the 4 Music channel now. And the Switch tv show isn't on again yet, it's possible it could be for that.

Well It Could Be For One Of Those "4Music Presents: " Shows Because He Does Them Too. I Think The Switch TV Show Is Back On Next Month Sometime, So There Still Could Be A Possiblity!
