haha in the papers yesterday there was an article about some pub in England selling a pie called a 'barrymore pie'. It was described as having "******s drowning in gravy." That's fair enough, you might think, but Michael Barrymore is a gay UK telly personality, who a few years ago was involved in a police investigation when another gay guy drowned in his swiming pool at a party. There was seemingly drugs involved aswell and it basically killed his career. (Until he went on Celebrity Big Bro a coupla years ago and 'revived' it.) So needless to say, one person started complaining about this pie, not about it poking fun at Barrymore, but about using the word '******s'... Only for a bunch of other gay folks to turn around and say that they don't really care, its just a laugh (this was in today's paper). I can see how it can be offensive though, and I guess it would be up to Barrymore himself to try and put a stop to it...

edit: sorry, didn't think that the word woulda been censored, its was a word for a lump of meat before, as supposed to a derogatory term....
