Beth Ditto: Candidate for compulsory sterilisation?
Archived49 replies · 1,542 views
You mean go back in time and sterilize her parents? Retroactive abortions? Should parents be allowed to have one abortion mulligan?
have any of you agreeing with this topic heard the albums by the gossip? who cares where her sexual proclivities lie, or what size she is, fair play to her for becoming successful despite the modern conception of what size you have to be to do well in her chosen career
& even if it is only one decent song in your opinion, that's more than most bands manage 
I'm just relieved ol' In A Lonely Place/Bring Back Chris Morris has changed that scary avatar of himself

Naturally, I don't agree with the question of sterilisation which is pretty nasty in any form of suggestion (probably should have pointed that out in my first reply). But as you've probably guessed, I find her a little irritating 
I just think that the reason she is famous is a gimmick more so than any actual real talent. She does have quite a powerful vocal but that is rarely homed in on by journalists... it's more the fat lesbian angle which she is more than willing to play up to. You can't really blame people for mentioning it as she is making a living off it and discussing it at every turn; she's hardly a shrinking violet in that department and should take any flak accordingly.
NME rarely miss a chance to stick her on the cover gurning in some ludicrous fashion; I find that all a bit naff really.

To be fair there are probably plenty of other legit targets like Ken Livingstone, or indeed the entire population of Bristol. But what really irritated me was the fact that I cant even escape from her, Mika or Paul Mccartney even on the BBC News!!!
Live and let live, eh?
If you don't like it - turn it off!
Even joking about compulsory sterilisation for someone who's music/image you don't like is fairly twattish. There is nothing funny about such comments.
Saying that there's a politician you don't like implies that there are some politicians who you do like, and that's really odd.

Hey...they just give the people what they want...
They did a story on the news last night about Owen Wilson returning to acting, beginning his first film since his suicide attempt...
All I could think was...fuck, it must be a slow news day here in Dallas...
And you were really so offended by the appearance of a couple of entertainers who you didn't like that you felt moved to come on here and share it with us?
Oh do grow up. Then fuck off. We've got one nasty, intolerant little fanny on here already, we don't need another one.

Well said...
They were quite entertaining at Summercase last year...
As for the "canidate for compulsory sterilisation" - for what? For being a pop star, for being fat?

Isnt that the whole fucking point of a forum? And Liam is quite often the epoch of good taste.
Who mentioned Liam?
I fucked up my post by editing it too many times before I posted it. I didn't mean to question your decision to air your opinions here, although any grown up with an opinion about Mika is a suspect for many things in my book.
I just meant to say that the rhetoric seemed a little overblown. Unless you actually do think that pop stars who you don't like should be forcibly sterilised, in which case you should get help at once.

Don't hold back Jeff!
eh???
I was just asking if that was the rationalization for having her sterilized...
I've got no problem with fat smelly women...hell, I was married to one...
and the lesbian bit, well, I'd like to be one...soooooo
Back in from the pub...
Can I just say that I definitely don't support the "compulsory sterilisation" of anyone and was merely mercilessly slagging off a - some might say - overexposed pop star in no way did I mention genocidal extermination (I get up to enough of that at the weekend!) :p
Orf to bed 
Beth Ditto's ace though I never understood menfolk's (or womenfolk's) sexual attraction to her.Each to their own, even fat blokes have got to wank.

Just spat stella all over mi keyboard!
I like bef ditto,wouldnt "fettle" her tho!
Isn't campaigning for the sterilisation of a lesbian a bit pointless. Thought they did sex ed at school these days.
I literally only know one song of theirs, and it's a right barnstormer.
How the fcuk can people say she's over-exposed? You should perhaps stop reading gimp stowdent mags cos she can't shirley be anywhere else, no? 
She's got a weekly column in the Guardian called "What Would Beth Ditto Do". Fuck knows why, they seem to think she'd give good advice like an agony aunt.
Each time I see it I shriek like a little girl, read it twice and then start running around moaning about it to anyone who'll listen.
Oh no, that's right I just ignore it.

The whole "isn't it just fab that a 'fat smelly lesbian' can become succesful these days....and isn't she sexy!!!" angle is ridiculous. Being unconventional, flamboyant and "out" in the music scene is hardly groundbreaking in the year 2008 is it? She's not exactly pushing back the boundaries of acceptability.
And as for being "so sexy" according to Kate Moss...Gis a break! She's obese, unhealthy and no less of a poor "body-image" role model for young girls as yer size zero models.
And musically, what has she done? One good song. My burd bought the album, utter shite. Can't comment on their first album but I suspect it'll be more of the same.

yes, a fat smelly one. i ought to be sterilised.
She's the Mandy Dingle of pop that's for sure!
Kudos to her for making the whole of The Magic Numbers appear BOTH thin and talented by comparison.
Maybe she should start shagging all four of Arctic Monkeys and have all their babies too - that would create some empire to knock the entertainment world off its axis, I can tell you. We could call the resultant new band Runts 'R' Us.
:p
P.s.
How many amusing and puerile anagrams of Beth Ditto's name can everybody make?
Here's one to get you started =
HOT BED TIT.
