CouchSlobs - A Monument To Human Idleness

Over the past couple of weeks or protagonist, Mr. Fry, found himself in a middle of controversy relating to two Twinings Tea ads he stars in. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the whole case, the ads (you can see them below) were accused of presenting negative stereotype of a black man as sexually promiscuous. I will not go into the merit of these charges simply because a) they were ruled on, b) the point of this blog is to have fun and not be the authority on racism and c) I think they were total bullocks. Wait a minute, was argument c) a comment on the case? I’ll have to have my people check that and get back to you!

Back to the point I haven’t made yet, my objection concerns defense argument that “”race was not central or relevant to the ads”, which were based on Fry’s character being “older and less cool” than the young black American man he featured alongside.” Frack me, less cool! What kind of ignorant unresearched argument is that! The man who even considers bestiality as a cure for cancer, let alone writes a whole novel around it, is cooler than all cool people combined. Mr. Stephen Fry is more than cool, he is so anti-cool he automatically becomes cool! He is so cool, in his podcast he admits going to to he loo. You don’t get any cooler than that. So there, all you racists against coolness, take that!

If you have any other argument why Stephen Fry is cool please leave it in a comment. Also don’t forget to congratulate Mr. Fry on being named 44th most powerful person in British culture!
