Whole lotta shite

Via the leg-iron, I see this:

It has been delighting fans for almost 40 years but Led Zeppelin's rock classic "Whole Lotta Love" has been deemed too racy by Olympics organisers.

After choosing the song for the closing ceremony on Sunday they decided that some of the lyrics would have to be omitted or re-written amid concerns that they could cause offence.


Cause offence? Cause offence? For the fucking love of Jesus H. Fucking Christ the cunting song has been out there for nearly 40 fucking cunting Jesus-fucking years. If it was going to fucking cause offense it would almost certainly have done so by now.

The song was chosen as the centrepiece of an eight-minute £2.5million British segment at the event in Beijing at which the Olympic flag will be officially passed to the London Mayor Boris Johnson.


I'm sorry? Did you say TWO AND A HALF MILLION BRITISH POUNDS FOR EIGHT MINUTES? FIVE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHT POUNDS A SECOND???????????

What the fucking fuck are you fucking doing with our money, BoJo?

Organisers of the London 2012 Games commissioned the band's guitarist Jimmy Page to record a new version of the song to be performed on top of a special red double-decker bus accompanied by Leona Lewis, winner of the ITV reality television show The X Factor, with David Beckham looking on.


Just savour that concept again. Smell its glory.

with David Beckham looking on.


Jesus. With David Beckham looking on. That's everything wrong with this cuntry [sic], right there.

But, according to London 2012 officials, Lewis - who grew up in east London close to the Olympic site - requested a change to the song's second verse because she was worried they would not make sense for a female singer.


£2.5 million. Eight minutes. David Beckham. Jumped-up fucking useless talentless nonentity tells master of classic rock to screw up his song.

Leona Lewis, help yourself to a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut. Boris, you fucking too, you moron.

In honour of this auspicious use of my money, I intend to watch all eight minutes live, whilst shitting out the remnants of last nights Bratwurst ( I am currently upsetting Germans in Germany).

Eight minutes and a whole lotta shite. Perfect

Almost as expensive as the EU but more productive.
