Peter Hitchens Advertises Gay White Weddings


You couldn't make it up. These are the Google Ads just below Peter Hitchens' article in today's Mail on Sunday (in which he also calls for the return of the Hereditary Peerage). I hope the Ads do not cause too much choking over his evening Horlicks. If so, he could always suck on a Fisherman's Friend.

I thank you.

That's the problem with Google Ads - I think they work by showing ads based on key words within a page or article...which in an article railing against gays like his is bound to have adverts advertising gay marriage.

Very humourous.

What are "Ads"? Firefox + Adblock Plus + filter subscriptions FTW.

I've seen more than one blog post railing against Islamic extremists with an advert for Muslim singles alongside it ;-)

As a collector smutty innuendo, including gay nob gags (no pun intended) Does anyone have reliable data which proved the Fisherman's Friend quip did not originate with Julian Clary?

Zeddy said...

Curmudgeon, you mean as opposed to Muslim LPs?

Jeremy Jacobs said...

Iain, I think there is a sound case for the return of hereditary peers. What's your views on this?

Heard Hitchens on Radio 4 this morning.

Well I heard it at the Oxford union in 1978 and it wasn't fresh then so I doubt it has much to do with Mr Clary.
