Nobody’s Perfect: Groundhog VS Dame Helen Mirren

Nobody’s Perfect:

This week we have two very surprising outbursts of anger coming from two unlikely sources—

Let’s start with what happened in merry old England. It seems, you don’t mess with Dame Helen Mirrren, the famous actress who has been in so many movies and who has played not one, but THREE British Queens, and so when she was performing as “Queen” and her performance was disturbed by a bunch of gay’s playing drums outside the theater, well…she basically lost it:Dame Helen

FROM DRUDGE: Astonished onlookers saw the 67-year-old star try to grab the conductor’s arm and heard her yell at the band to “shut the f*** up”.

Then the actress, who plays the monarch in hit play The Audience, went into a tirade on behalf of the theatre-going paying public — who later gave her a standing ovation. Promoter Joe O’Leary, 32, who was at the drumming parade, said: “She said people had paid ‘a lot of f***ing money’ to watch her show and that we were ‘f***ing ruining it’. The showdown came after drummers promoting a gay music festival paraded through Soho and halted outside the Gielgud Theatre in Winnett Street.

The drumming rose in a crescendo for around eight minutes and drowned out part of the first half of the play, in which the Queen talks to a succession of Prime Ministers.

You have to wonder, what the real Queen would be more upset about: The obscene language that she used WHILE in character representing the real Queen—after all, many of the people might have thought it was the real mum telling them off.

Or the fact that she was interrupting a gay parade.  Remember, the Queen just came out in support of the gays.

And then there’s the “I’ve just about had enough” Groundhog of New JerseyGroundhog

BRIDGETON — It started with kids looking across the street at a groundhog in the Bridgeton Midget Football parking lot on Saturday.

They crossed the street to get a closer look.

They had never seen a groundhog before.

What they didn’t count on was the groundhog chasing them back across the street to where Bridgeton Little League was playing.

This groundhog was so mad that it chased the kids across the street and bared it’s teeth at the umpire. Thinking that it was his job to save the umpire, the Little League President stepped in to save him. The Groundhog then chased the Little League President who ran, jumped in his car and locked the doors.

The groundhog made for a hole. But, then—the police arrived.

The police came, got a loop around the poor groundhog’s neck (whom it was reported, was as big as a Volkswagen) —but the feisty groundhog broke the loop. They finally got another loop, caged the poor fellow and took it to be tested for rabies. The police were declared once again, protectors of the people from crazy groundhogs.

What happens in New Jersey should stay in New Jersey, I say.

So, who won the Nobody’s Perfect award for the week?

The President of the Little League.

What an idiot. The world is filled with too many stupid umpires who make a living of ruining lives of not only major league games, but little leagues too. Who knows how many fights at sporting events they have caused. He should have stayed out of it. Let the umpire fend for himself.

The groundhog was no doubt only protecting her babies.

Dame Helen Mirren’s reaction was heroic. To stand up to a bunch of drummers takes guts, but to stand up to a bunch of gay drummers in this gay’s should never be yelled at world?

That kind of courage deserves another ovation!drummers in the park

  1. Nor our media in Oz. Total silence about the protests in France, while the far smaller pro-gay-marriage efforts here are given maximum coverage and support.

  3. It is not only because Helen Mirren is quite rodger-worthy that I cheer her stance. And that despite my liking the idea of street drummers. Its the continual abrogation of the comforts of others to which ‘gay’s’ feel entitled. Bugger them, I say. Perhaps Helen’s use of a few choice swear-words can be a model of how to deal with such crowds, although I dare say that if you or I or a member of her audience had been the ones objecting, police would have been called and you, I, they would have been truncheoned to the floor.

    It is telling just how ideological the response to popular sentiment can be. Usually when large numbers of people gather to make their ‘rights’ known, the rights themselves are weighed on strange scales. Gay’s of course, are akin to a procession of Italian Catholics parading a statue of the Virgin Mary. The cops turn out to help. Same with Irish terrorist supporters in Boston. But this tolerance is not extended to others with a more conservative bent, Nor the usual calls for ‘no discrimination’.

    While Helen’s small rant went viral, even just now over here on Oz on the mid-day news, the media has been almost silent on far greater gatherings. I doubt very much if American TV has said much about these ……

    13 January 2013. Paris. Champ de Mars crammed with people peacefully protesting the same sex marriage bill. Estimated at 2 million by observers, the Police claimed less than 200,000. The Minister of Education ‘tweeted that the protesters should be publicly hanged. Helen just told the gays to f*ck off.

    24 March 2013, Paris. A 4 km stretch from the Arche de la Defense to the Arc de Triomphe was similarly crammed full of people protesting the same sex marriage bill. The CRS tear-gassed children and their mothers on the Champs Elysees. Helen barely made it to tears.

    14 April 2013. The police destroy the tents of anti gay marriage campers and bundled 60 into detention. Any broken drums in helen’s tirade?

    18 April 2013. Riot Police drag away by their necks a small group of teenagers sitting on a lawn after a peaceful protest. They were having an evening picnic and wearing anti gay marriage T-shirts. Not a news report on any Oz TV station. No Helen present, of course.

    As this was not Tahrir Square last year or Kiev during the Orange Revolution, none of the self-appointed Media Moral Police in Europe or America raise any objections or called for the overthrow of the French Republic.

    What a tolerant lot.

    Whatever happened to anti-discrimination, one could also ask.
