EDINBURGH BELATEDLY BANS FREDDIE MERCURY


Someone should tell Scottish people that it's impossible to get AIDS from a statue of a guy who had AIDS. It's an easy mistake; I wore gloves when handling Ratt CDs 'til 2005 when some filmstrip hipped me. Apparently word hasn't reached Edinburgh yet cuz a 19-ft. bronze Freddie Mercury is not welcome there. From The Scotsman:
The plan was to display the 680 kg tribute to Queen singer Freddie Mercury on the pavement outside the Edinburgh Playhouse, before a production of We Will Rock You scheduled for November. Local businesses welcomed the plan, but council leaders have said it could block pedestrians going to and from the venue and might prove to be a distraction to people driving past.
Just admit it you assholes. Traffic distractions and pedestrian obstruction? That's exactly what they said about that guy Pedro on The Real World. Wait a sec -- I bet the statue of Sean Connery refused to share a bathroom with it. And you fuckers caved. That's what this is about isn't it. I expected better from you, godforsaken, rainswept Edinburgh.
