von_geisterhand Gene Simmons Declares War on Anonymous
*sigh* You know, I realise that there are two sides to the whole copyright-issue and that maybe the justifiable use of the "free path" requires a little more self-questioning and common sense than some of its travellers exercise. Nevertheless, I find Mr. Simmons' statements on the topic totally objectionable and quite frankly, given the choice between publicly agreeing with him and never again listening to any KISS, I would quite happily say farewell to "I was made for loving you", even though musically I quite like them.
But that's just me.
What I really object to, though, is this always popular homophobic sub-current frequently used when threatening somebody with legal action/prison time:
"...First, they will be punished. Second, they might find their little butts in jail, right next to someone who's been there for years and is looking for a new girl friend."
Yes, Gene, thank you. We know you have a huge penis and a wife who used to be in softporn. Your masculinity and heterosexuality is established. You do not have to make up for the fact that you are in the campest of rock-substrains, we believe you!
Threats of this kind always remind me of a case some years back where a policeman tried to get the victim's location from a kidnapper by threatening him with being "locked in a cell with two huge spades". That wasn't clever, either, and that did not end well.
