As Mulley points out the Independent, if we didn’t know already, is a quite reprehensible rag.
Depsite what they’d have you believe the reason beaut.ie is down is nothing whatsoever to do with Katy French. But then if the Indo, while sitting on its high horse, can squeeze a little more scandal and salaciousness into a story about a 24 year old girl who died you know they’ll do it.
I don’t even have to words to sum up how dreadful I think they are. Hang on, I do. They’re worse than Damien Rice.
UPDATE
Isn’t it ironic that the Independent took time to slate a Daily Mail journalist when the Evening Herald (owned by Independent Newspapers) delighted in highlighting Katy French’s alleged cellulite as she got out of the car to attend her own birthday party? They even circled the parts of her leg so we could be sure to see it.
And it’s also slightly ironic that one of their own journalists did pretty much the same thing as the girl from the Mail but without the byline free backlash.
What a pack of cunts.
Just to to make it clear can we keep comments on topic which is the Independent, and what a pack of cunts they are, and not Katy French about whom enough has been said already?
If you think the Indo is bad (and I do), wait till Sunday…
The girl is not even dead 24 hours perhaps it is better to just leave it at that. If you continue to highlight it you are just as bad as the Independent.
Shut the fuck up you complete tard.
Twenty, while you are waiting for you daily read of beaut.ie to become available, you may wish to check this out
[LINK REMOVED]
You can fuck off as well.
Fuckin’ right Twenty – making a story out of nothing. Hopefully beaut.ie will come back so I can have my say on this fiasco.
Martyr her in the media for taking drugs, I think I’m going to wipe my arse with the Indo and then the Star Pages 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 – I’ll have you know I’ve been saving up for just an opportunity like this
Twenty – you need cheering up .
How about going to a party tonight ?
http://breaking.tcm.ie/ireland/mhmhsnojqlgb/
In all fairness it was hardly an outraegous link to make.
I think you’re making an issue out of nothing here.
On Wednesday you had one paper with Kevin Doyle’s photo on the front and the rag that is the Indo had Katy French’s picture on it (and every other day this week as far as I know). Which paper do you think the illuminated Irish public is going to buy? INM’s cynicism in trying to boost figures fuckin astounds me
The Indo makes Johnny5 reasonable. See what complete cunts they are?
I missed the link but if Johnny5 says you are making an issue out of nothing then it must have been fucking disgusting.
:(
I’ll just stick to commenting about raping blind badgers.
That’s why we love you. In a very non-gay way. Except for Maggot who loves you like David Furnish loves Elton John.
I don’t believe you.
Johnny5 that is not Twenty.
The fact that the Indo and Sunday Indo has the highest readership in the country is an absolute disgrace.
Brendan O’ Connor and the lot of them, need to be put down. God, I hate the lot of them!
This week The Sindo is going to be like that shite that you’ve carried around in you for three days at a music festival for fear of catching something off the chemical bogs.
fuckin ambulance-chasing tabloid rag.
Clearly Nonny is a cunt.
clearly.
maddy/katy/9.11/iraq ….
well done various media sources, you have made me not more callous than ever by overexerting yourself in trying to make me feel something for these people i don’t know.
cunts.
Was anyone else listening to The Breakfast Show on Newstalk this morning? That has gone all tabloidesque lately. Reading texts from listeners, it’s akin to Liveline.
Also Gerry Ryan said it was all Twenty’s fault. Kind of.
I just think on this occasion the independent is probably right. The irony off course the papers are not the only medium who manipulate fact and use sensationalism to boost readership. A case of the pot calling the kettle black arse. I really sympathise with Katy’s family and wish to God people would stop making such a great big meal out of her death.
So Katy’s family thought it was a good idea to wait 5 days to turn off the life support machine, ensuring that there would be no trace of coke in her system…(allegedly)…….nice.
If they told the truth about what happened they could (maybe) prevent some other dumb shit from commiting nasal suicide. And all the time the Gardai are saying they’ll investigate the case with sensitivity, just like with the headline grabbing party in Waterford a couple of weeks ago. What a shower of two-faced, double standard wankers…
Here’s an idea, don’t read it.
Erm, fuck cunt tits sex minge?

Absolutely spot on.
rimjob.
Johnny, do you have a touch of tourettes? or are you just remarkably foul mouthed?
They nick material? Nooooo. It seems to be universal practice. saw an interview reported on American media about a celebrity and realised it had been lifted (without citation) from a Jonathan Ross show that I’d seen about a week previously [emailed JR with the link to report it!]
I’ve a great use for the Indo, it makes wonderful lining for my cats’ litter tray, seems the shite sticks to it. It’s just shameful that people who died like that are ‘used’ by the media, with no regard to the bereaved. I fundamentally disagree with illicit drug-taking, but the media doesn’t go after the dealers or politicians (more generally) in case they end up with a bullet in the head. So they nick news, and make money out of ‘soft targets’ and play along with the establishment. More than wankers, they’re traitors.
Jaysus Twenty, I understand you’re pissed off and all, but fucking hell… Damien Rice? That’s low, man. Even for you.
This means nothing to me. Ah Vienna.
Its all Barry Egan’s fault. I always found it disturbing, the sort of infatuated way he wrote about her almost every week, the fuckdog.
I just have a foul mouth, morgor, you bastard son of dick licking whore.
good to hear Johnny, you tramp felching hermaphrodite.
by the way, i’ve stolen your phrase ” a fanny like a welly top”. don’t expect any royalties.
nice turn of phrase Turniphead.
Fuckdog is my word, turniphead, you mingeweasel.
And who among us can honestly say they haven’t felched a tramp or 9 in their time?
Turniphead will you please give Johnny5 back his swear word before he starts sulking.
Too late.
exactly johnny, it’s time to unmask the hypocrites in our midst. like Nonny.
Nonny Felched tramps in Seoul in 88, the tramp felching cunt.
@Northside Langer..Think about it before you type it.Bloods were taken from the unfortunate girl on arrival last Sunday morning.These have been made available to the coroner and will be considered as part of the post-mortem currently being carried out.
Whatever way Ms French chose to make her living and court the attention of these gutter newspapers while doing so, her family have lost a daughter and are presumable not as concerned as you are about conspiracies.
“exactly johnny, it’s time to unmask the hypocrites in our midst. like Nonny.”
I am not the hypocrite here.
Nonny, I don’t understand why you keep coming back here time and again with your self-righteous crap…if it annoys you so much why not do something more constructive with your time, or something that makes you happy even.. like, I don’t know… go fuck yourself?
great, yet another media frenzy over a “celebrity”, famous, not for having done anything useful, only for being mildly famous. big fucking deal. cause of death was probably asphyxia from having her head stuck too far up her own arse.
beaut.ie is up again, but interestingly, searching the site for “katy french” doesn’t bring back any results. glossing over bad/stupid things people did, or wiping away criticisms others may have had of them, just because they are dead is dishonest. a prime example being that utter cunt haughey, who was eulogised as a great man and a patriot in spite of being robbing the country he was supposed to be leading. what sort of an example does that give people?
the only thing that could make this whole wankfest any more annoying would be if damien rice or some other cunt does a remake of cande in the wind.
Haughey is a fucking hero.
Pantsman @22, I was listening and it was awful.
Thanks for the support twenty – and porridge I totally get what you mean, but the sad fact of the matter is we don’t want to be associated with that story and the way it’s been blown out of all proportion. We’ve been misquoted, lied about and misrepresented. And for what? To give that rag something to write about. They can dig around for material to twist somewhere else as far as we’re concerned.
The last straw was hearing Gerry Ryan getting on his high horse about it when I was on my way into work. And then Twink spluttering about bloggers…
Give me strength
Jesus Porridge…don’t mention Candle in the wind…the Indo has already likened the unfortunate girl to Diana..
Anyway, I’m off to drink for a free with a load of cunts I don’t particularly like.
Say no to drugs, Kids. Unless they’re good.
Nonny, prove it.
aphrodite
I don’t know what went on there but yeah, you’re probably just best off leaving well enough alone from that story, lest they fling shit at you guys over something else that was most likely harmless.
As for Gerry Ryan spouting on about this you’d think his researchers would work for their pay, then again they do work for RTÉ…
Twink can fuck off too, silly bint
“Haughey is a fucking hero.”
to assholes he’s a hero.
A pure, “i’m taking what i want, and the rest of you can go fuck yourselves” kinda guy.
twink, the competion-rigger?
fair enough aphrodite, but having removed one set of comments because someone didn’t like it, what’s to prevent you from becoming like the indo and only allowing brown nosing? you’re going to piss off some of your bloggers if you do that
http://beaut.ie/blog/?p=4170#comment-425615
Let the record show that I my tongue was rammed into my cheek(well, a cheek, to be precise) as I typed that about Haughey.
we didn’t remove it though – the post is still there. It’s just that aphrodite didn’t spell her name correctly and the search engine is pretty pedantic. All I did was close it to new comments, cos you can just imagine how balanced and judged they’d be, eh?
haughey kinda reminds me of mr burns from the simpsons.
is still there, and did like the frontal lobotomy bit, but being able to say what you like (more or less) is part of what gives blogging its interest and integrity.
as for balanced and judged, your admin poster said “basically aphrodite was just lampooning katie french for being completely thick and thinking that sheep shearing is worse than skinning animals alive for their fur, she wasn’t actually making an animal rights point, just that KF is a bit dim”. you started it, so you there’s no pint in closing the stable door etc.
point, although there will be no pints for johnny5 after his outrageously scurrilous and defamatory “ahughey is a hero” comment
fucking stupid keybaor4d and big fingrrs
ah listen Kirstie now you’ve told the world I can’t spell. Well it’s out there now…
(re Beaut) Hear Hear Porridge!.
Hasn’t Gerry Frogface Ryan ever heard the expression about people in glass houses can” afford to throw stones, or something along those lines, especially when it comes to illicit use of cocaine??
Has he forgotten what he was up to himself in the 80′s???
Johnny5 is an arsebiscuit eating assmuncher. Fuckdog is my word
Killing sheep in connemara – the bastard.
mr. turniphead, the retard’s mr. potatohead
I see Gavin Lambe Arsehole is all over the radiowaves today – prattling on about how hes going to save the kids from a wasted life of cocaine, sex, fast cars easy money etc.
Man – he is all about himself – he fucking loves himself – and for someone who apparently went out with katy french (when he didn’t take it up the arse – well, maybe he did then too), hes showing himself to be a complete opportinistic cunt by using her and her death as a launchpad for his new career – whatever the fuck it it.
Man – shes just died, I don’t need to know where you and her took coke and what you did to yourself and how you lost it all, but now you’ve cleaned up your life and you are a great example to the world.
If you were her fucking friend – you’d shut the fuck up! at least for a few fucking days.
Man – if her smarts or personality were any bit like yours…………..holy fuck.
she was a dim-witted fool, a non-entity – but she was someones daughter and sister, shut the fuck up and stick a pineapple up your hole.
“Nonny, prove it.”
Erm how can I prove that I am not a hypocrite would that not have to be the other way round? Or do you mean prove,
“The irony off course the papers are not the only medium who manipulate fact and use sensationalism to boost readership. A case of the pot calling the kettle black arse.” ????
Christ, gavin lamb dickheads articles used to annoy me so much, he deserves a good kicking.
i’d disembowel with a blunt spoon anyone who tried to save me from a wasted life of cocaine, sex, fast cars and easy money
nonny, no one really knows if you are a hypocrite or not because we can’t follow your sentences.
he truely is a self-obsessed dick. I’ll kick him for you the next time I see him having a coffee outside O’Briens (classy) on baggot st.
Hes ex-sindo too.
Egan, Fanning (sperm doner) Fanning (eldest of satans spawn) Fanning (next eldest of Spawn), Lambe-Arsehole, Brendan Fuckface, Ruth Dud Ed, Eoghan “I suck berties cock for money” Harris – oh yes, the Sindo – voice to the tits of this nation.
Littlesapling….I bow to your greater knowledge and stand corrected IF those bloods are made available to the coroner…but still theres a world of difference between the French case and the Waterford case.
Oh and I wasn’t judging Kate’s lifestyle. She had to play ‘the media game’ so what its part of her job and i wouldn’t judge the girl on that.
Its just the difference between the way the 2 cases are being handled makes me puke…
Oh, and yea i’ll admit it. I think her last few days were ‘managed’ so to speak..
If by managed, you mean that she was kept alive for five days so that her distraught family could come to terms with the inevitable, then I agree.
The bloods were taken and they are with the coroner but does it really matter to anyone what she died of?.
The fact is she died and the loss of a young life, ANY young life whether n the public eye or not is tragic.
Ah twenty. That was a great link. I thought ya would appreciate it….
nonny,
I dunno, I just wanted to see how you’d react.
we’ll call it “the nonny hypocrite test”.
Yes, the Indo is a piece of crap cover to cover. Since they took it tabloid, it seems to have reached a new low. Maybe coincides with the retirement of old editor, Vinnie doyle.
Christ – Beaut.ie is a shit site.
hehe maggot, i went to look at it myself and thought the same,
their description of themselves (from the about tab):
“Both have a long running love for all things cosmetic and both will admit to being complete suckers for a glossy advertising campaign.”
So basically they’re superficial idiots.
the loss of a young life, ANY young life whether n the public eye or not is tragic.
Not necessarily littlesapling – would it have been tragic if that little fucker Robert Hawkins had been run over by a bus on his way to the mall where he shot all those people ?
It’s Twenty’s fault morgor -I’d never heard of it before I read about it here. What a mess – and the knob-end pink didn’t appeal.
It absolutely does matter what she died of for two reasons.
1) because that will determine how most people view the events. The point is this – Katy French was a good looking girl with her life and a successful career ahead of her and what happened could be a tragedy (if she had an underlying heart problem for example) or a wilful waste of life (if it was a result of a drugs overdose).
2) Gradually people are realising that cocaine can kill. It doesn’t have to be a ‘bad batch’ or cut with rat poison to do so. And suddenly its the middle and upper classes that are suffering and whether we are comfortable with the fact or not we tend to believe its only the lowest of the low that drugs are going to kill. So now that a high profile person has died maybe people will cop the fuck on and realise that coke doesn’t discriminate according to class.

No contest.
long time listener first time caller.
had to reply northrside langer.
do you really belive that people are only realising that cocaine kills because of katie french?????what about jim morrison,lynott or joplin?evry fool knows that cocaine can kill.they’ll still take it.people like to get high,and unless they are complete wankbags,know the sometime consequences.this will change nothing.
legalise,legalise,legalise.
Yes. Really. Really.
Like I said, people tend to assosiate drug deaths with heroin. And by implication, lower class or vunerable people. (and no i’m not looking down on these people, its pretty accurate even if its generalising). People think being middle class is like some sort of protective shield. So NO, NOT EVERY FOOL KNOWS THAT COCAINE CAN KILL.
People don’t think it’ll happen to them for various reasons, the cunt giving the line is in a suit, has a successful job, is middle or upper class, says its safe, offers them a nice glass of champagne as well, they’re in a safe nice expensive club…whatever the reason. Chances are their dealer isn’t wearing a baseball cap, stinking of piss or in a baseball cap hiding in an alley so as not too attract attention. Assosiation is a powerful thing, ask any marketer.
Phil Lynott took heroin, Janis Joplin – overdose of heroin, Jim Morrison – heroin. I’m sure they took a lot of other shit as well but heroin or heroin related illnesses is what killed them.
As for legalisation, I say legalise weed. Anyone who wants it can grow it themselves without their money going to some crowd of murdering cunts just some nice bearded man with a shop in Canada or Holland, they aren’t going to synthesise some poisonous chemical by mistake (they can grow it organically if they want for fucks sake) and there has never been ( as far as I know) any report of a death as a direct result of smoking honest to goodness weed.
fair ’nuff.bad example using heroin deaths.but i took coke for a long time and most of my buddies still do.of course when they take a line they don’t think that they’re gonna die.but they’re not oblivious to the fact that ingesting class A is the same as supping on a sherry.do you really think that the majority don’t accept the danger with their drug of choice?did you ever partake northside?and not know what could happen?
but you’re bang on with weed being honest to goodness.even homer agrees with that.the cause of and solution too………….
Legalise everything. It’s not like having it illegal stops anyone. Legalise it, tax it and educate people about it. And watch out for those flying pigs.
‘But i took coke for a long time and most of my buddies still do.of course when they take a line they don’t think that they’re gonna die”
That arguement is the same as ”but i drank and drove for a long time and most of my buddies still do.of course when they drink and drive they don’t think that they’re gonna die”
Not saying whether i ever took anything or not. No offence intended, thats my own business. Would it change any of the points argued??
everyone dies eventually. could argue is better to die young without having to deal with all the disappointments of life, and of course, adult nappies and nursing homes, but why bother. go out on a high (literally in this case). at least she won’t turn into elvis, fat, pathetic and dead on the can. life kills, everything else just helps. going back to the pub now. enjoy

Oh Northside, if only you could punctuate. That’s very close to poetry.
Roll on!
yes
Is Nonny Barry Cuntyballs Egan?
i think so.
and i think assball harris’ dog, posie,
is actually brendan “i’ll starve my cock of sex to lose weight” o’connor.
Okay. Death is sad.
Death at 84? Sad, but you were worn out and your innings was in its twilight.
Death at 24? The maths just doesn’t work. Horrible.
However, you put a massive cocktail of industrial strength A class drugs into your system, chances are YOU WILL DIE. But then, if you’re 24 and you’ve been taking A class for a long period of time, I’m picking you’re not doing it because you think you will die, you’re doing it because you its good fun. ‘Oops, I accidentally died. I didn’t mean to. Can i have that night again?’ So it kind of makes it even sadder because she died by doing the equivalent of drinking and driving. It’s a terrible waste.Whoever she was.
And as far as the press is concerned a pretty dead model is much more newsworthy that an non descript part time criminal.It’s just another sausage for the sausage factory, except this sausage comes with neon lights and giant sunglasses. The press are cheering from the cheap seats. They will beat it up however they can. They don’t actually care about her, but they’re really loving her now she’s dead. I remember at my first real job, working the Christmas period and getting told, ‘If you’re lucky there will be a disaster somewhere in the world that should carry you through.’
What a lot comments, you go out drinking and look what you miss.
Happened to see a copy of the Mirror yesterday with a pic of KF in her modelling days in a similar outfit to Marilyn Monroe.
Headline – “She was our candle in the wind”
I shit you not. Try and tell me those cunts in the Mirror weren’t giggling behind their hands making that up.
As I’ve said previously there’s no call for anyone to gloat over her death, it’s an awful thing despite her irritating and manufactured presence, but the media coverage is so horribly saccharine it merits comment.
In England, the tabloids got an extra 20,000 sales by having a Madeline McCann reference or story on the cover.
How many extra sales did yesterdays indo and examiner get as a result of the main picture on the cover?
I dread to think what the sindo, mail on sunday and sunday world are dreaming up for tomorrow… i’m sure it’ll cover the christmas bonus though…..
Comment on old post about Katy French said that they heard about the post on the Gerry Ryan show. Did he mention this site by name?
Can’t say. I never listen to Gerry ‘Face-for-Radio’ Ryan.
Comment 100. Woohoo! (its the little things)
Pingback: French Toast « One For The Road
I think you’ll find comment 101 is better.
and isn’t it Gerry”stuff his face for radio”Ryan.?
“Look, everyone thinks so. Bock, Twenty, Fatmammycat, Mulley, CupidStunt”.
Well, it must be true then.

Listening to g ryan now, comparing katy french’s death to that of evita, evita was a durty fascist.
How anyone can listen top that anctimonious, rubber faced shitehawk Ryan without wanting to burst their own ear drums with AIDS needles I will never know.
Johnny5, I have never agreed with you more..I rarely agree with you at all you complete savage.. and I don’t even know what anctimonious means.
Last week as Katy first fell ill the Indo delighted in telling us how she had stolen the crown and usurped Glenda Gilson’s place as Ireland’s leading model, and favourite person and all that.
Then she died.
Then in Sundays Sunday Independent Life Magazine there are no less (i tell no fibs) than 14 pictures of Glenda Gilson.
And the machine rolls on.
i used to read the independant, but then i noticed those articles from gavin lambe arsehole and i thought to myself “what’s this shit doing in a paper?, this doesn’t even belong in OK magazine”.
Now with all this bullshit of daily coverage of this, they can fuck right off.
Thanks Twenty, you’ve helped me to make up my mind.
