Eminem Will Censor Lyrics To Avoid Anti-Gay Protest In UK
Posted by Media Outrage on December 28th, 2009
Eminem, who loves calling someone a faggot, will censor his anti-gay lyrics to perform in the UK next summer…
Via AHH:
Controversial rapper Eminem has agreed to refrain from performing homophobic lyrics during an upcoming festival in the United Kingdom next summer.
Organizers of the popular Wireless Festival 2010 were fearful that various gay rights groups, such an OutRage! would picket the concert.
According to UK’s Evening Standard, OutRage! has agreed to refrain from picketing the concert, as long as Eminem does not use lyrics that encourage or incite hatred against gay people.
Eminem agreed to sign up after he was assured there would be no protests at the show, according to spokesman David Allison.
Eminem also reportedly agreed to both parties demands that he censor his lyrics, to avoid confrontation with the gay rights groups in the country.
OutRage! and other similar groups have actively boycotted singers like Beenie Man and Buju Banton, who have had tours of the country interrupted due to protests over their homophobic lyrics.
At press time confirmed performers for the 2010 Wireless Festival include Pink and The Ting Tings.
The event takes place at London’s Hyde Park in July of 2010.

I don’t think it’s right. Why can’t he say what the hell wants?!!
I don’t get how these homos want people to except them and this that and the other but yet they cry foul every time a hetero does or says something they don’t like. They too damn sensitive for me!

It’s not that they’re sensitive even–they’re trying to make sure they befoul the masses with their chocolate chasing whims and snappy dressing LOL. Deep down they know they’re fucked up so they have to make sure the rest of the world conforms to the standards they set. Wanna know why they dress like they ain’t got mirrors? Well, a vampire can’t cast a reflection because their image is an affront to God. Think about it. They’re feeding off our precious lives to sustain their own–the media is the aorta they tap into in order to either kill or change the susceptible to one of them.

I for one would FULLY support a riot to let these mud puppies know that REAL men still exist and are sick of them (cake boys) telling women that being sexy means looking like a 10 year old boy, sick of them pumping perversion all throughout the world, sick of them spreading diseases, sick of them warping our children’s minds to the point of annulling the future of mankind, and most of all….SICK OF THEM.

I think OutRage should direct their efforts toward solving some real problems, rather than policing the speech conduct on a has-been rapper.
