I feel sad to start 2010 on a bad note but I felt so sad after watching part of Graham Norton's Show last night. I've watched the show many times and I get that it is a very 'adult-themed' show and they slag people off all the time, but there IS a line, and this was greatly crossed IMO.
Basically, there was Joan Rivers and Sharleen Spiteri on the couch and Graham puts up a picture of Michael on the studio TV screen. Joan called him an alleged ****phile and druggie and said no wonder he moonwalked, to get away. This is the kind of slagging off I and we, sadly have heard many many times before. But then Joan River's basically implied the picture on the screen was taken post-June 25th and then stuff which I don't want to repeat, but basically stuff about after his passing, even going to the trouble to mention Joe at this point. Disgusting. This infuriated me to the max. I only flicked it on towards the end so don't know if anything else was said earlier.
There was no need to even mention Michael or put up his picture and Graham Norton seemed to encourage the slander. All this on BBC One. It's on the BBC iplayer as well.
I'm definitely going to Ofcom with this. Please if you saw this too, do the same. Anyone have the email of Branca/McLain?
That journalist who wrote that article about Stephen Gately was made to apologise so why oh why do they keep doing worse to Michael and get away with it? http://www.dailyexpress.co.uk/posts/view/135819/Journalist-sorry-for-Gately-article/
Please help to complain to Ofcom as well.
Does anyone think Ofcom will take it seriously?
