i think what folks are finding funny or "funny" or whathaveyou isn't necessarily the violence but the kind of irony that ross kemp with the hardman who beats up people image that he built up from eastenders should be one who is allegedly assulted.

it wouldn't have been as funny "funny" or whathaveyou the other way round or at least not in the same way, as his wife isn't casted as a hardman who beats up people on eastenders.

nor is this a general ha ha a man got beaten up how funny lollerz.

just saying.

Can we have an enlightened debate on why Last of the Summer Wine promotes domestic violence now please?

― Patchouli Clark (noodle vague), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

i guess the american version of this would be michelle malkin beating up lorenzo lamas or something

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:04 (eighteen years ago) link

If Ross Kemp had beat himself up like Ed Norton in Fight Club, this thread would be very different. If Wade had beat herself up it would be different again. If the two of them teamed up and beat up a white boy dressed as Ben Wallace etc.

xpost i think it can be "ha ha a man got beaten up how funny lollerz" too!

his wife isn't casted as a hardman who beats up people

also that ULTIMATE FORCE video cover is great stuff

NOW CAN WE PLEASE GET ON WITH IDLE AND MALICIOUS SPECULATION AS TO WHAT SHE DID TO HIM?

My money's on either ashtray to the head or stiletto to the balls.

no, she is "cast as" someone who encourages the lynching of asylum seekers, dopers, bums, homos, darkies, paediatricians, etc.

― Theorry Henry (Enrique), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:07 (eighteen years ago) link

maybe she raped him

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:08 (eighteen years ago) link

if the people involved are anyone who wasn't ross kemp and his wife (wife being quite often a vunerable group of people in eastenders) this thread would have been very different.

i mean, perhaps it'd be the same if say Steve McFadden got beaten up by some lackey chip shop owner, maybe.

KEMP'S BALLS SERVED BY WADE SHOCKAH

for the record i was on the side of humorless assholes when it came to the john bobbitt story and "mans rights" in general but unless this dude is in the hospital right now this is just funny & embarrassing, its not like anybody is defending her

― _, Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I kind of agree w/this:

However, under the circumstances, I can see the morbidly ironic side of Ross 'Ultimate Force' Kemp being bullied by Rebekah 'used the paper to campaign against domestic violence' Wade.

Wade is up there with Kelvin McKenzie and Piers Morgan as the worst that British tabloid newspapers have to offer. People who by their actions have actually made things worse in this country. I find it hard to feel any sense of common humanity with these people. I don't give a shit if they live or die, to be honest. Innocent people got fucked over and labeled paedophiles by the communities they lived in as a direct result of Wade's actions, and I think she should have served jail time for that. The history of british tabloid "journalism" post 1969 is a pretty sordid story, and that's one of the low points.

I know shit about Kemp, apart from him being a bad actor in a shit TV program.

"A violent tour of the world's most notorious gangs Timed to coincide with the Sky One documentary series, this book sees Ross Kemp, star of ITV's Ultimate Force, travelling to encounter some of the most lethal gangs in the world today. Beginning in the brutal favelas of Rio de Janeiro, where, a stone's throw from the wealth and opulence of the beaches, impoverished masses are squeezed into tiny, filth-ridden streets, terrorized by boys as young as nine armed to the teeth with the latest weaponry, Kemp dares to go where others fear to tread. He penetrates into the heartland of the gangs' territories, exploring both the social decay that causes boys (and girls) to join gangs, and the urban mayhem they wreak. Around the world, from the former East Germany, where youths dress and adopt the mannerisms of the SS, to New Zealand, where the Mongrel Mob attracts New Zealand's disowned and disillusioned, gang violence is on the rise: in Chicago, the Kings and Queens gang claims a standing army of 30,000. Kemp sets out to discover what makes these gangs so attractive: the fashion, music, slang, handshakes, festivals, even religions that give each gang a unique identity. Gangs Around the World is by turns a fascinating, colourful, shocking account of the biggest criminal movement of the last fifty years."

He's not that bad an actor. He won awards as voted for by the public you know!

Has everyone seen the episode of Extras with Ross Kemp in?

― mei (mei), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Morgan was/is a bit of a goon, but he never did any harm in the same way that Wade did. His Mirror was mostly about crapping on celebrities, and he put his own job on the line by making the paper anti-war and generally anti-NuLab.

Wade splashed on made-up stories about asylum seekers eating swans, then retracted them in a nib on page 17 eight months later.

Would punching Mr Kemp be a bad thing to do if he was a good actor, btw?

"The Sun's Domestic Violence Campaign "Expose the wife beating brutes" thundered The Sun headline on Monday as it launched its campaign against domestic violence.

The paper said their aim of raising money for the charity Refuge justified their publication of photographs of convicted offenders alongside the details of their crimes. Now other domestic violence charities are reporting calls from women who fear the "name and shame campaign" will lead to further violence by enraged men."

Now reports are saying that Wade was drunk and the pair had been out "commiserating" with DAVID BLUNKETT!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:23 (eighteen years ago) link

House Of Commons gossip says she was out with Blunkett and came home to find Kemp in bed with a bloke.

That ought not to be a problem they are both each other beards.

1. Beard

Any opposite sex escort taken to an event in an effort to give a homosexaul person the apperance of being out on a date with a person of the opposite sex.Half of the women on the red carpet at the movie premier were not real dates, but beards.

Haha. "Women on the red carpet".

You are not familiar with the term "beard" as used in this context, Steve?

I was not aware of the use of the word 'beard' in that sense. I must fire my agent.

Which Eastenders characters have had beards? I know Ian was rocking a particularly revolting 'tache for a while.

― Sociah T Azzahole (blueski), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Well Dot Cotton's got a moustache.

― Patchouli Clark (noodle vague), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Without belabouring the point; it's not necessarily funny, but it certainly has a tinge of irony about it.

Again, it strikes me that whilst everyone rightly takes mtf domestic violence issues very seriously, the ftm domestic violence issue is deemed to be somehow less serious - as if men somehow deserve anything that a woman chooses to do to them. (the shadow of the wife waiting for her husband whilst brandishing a rolling pin looms large)

On the beard thing...I know a bear couple who call themselves "The Beards"

― Stone Monkey (Stone Monkey), Thursday, 3 November 2005 13:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Beppe, Connor, some others.

Okay, no beard, but fantastic sideburns.
