The only redeeming part of Perez Hiltons self-serving non-apology yesterday was the second to last paragraph, when he said:
“I will be donating any money collected from my lawsuit against Polo Molina, road manager for the Black Eyed Peas, to the Matthew Shepard Foundation.”
Shepard, if you don’t remember, was a gay teenager who was tortured and killed in Wyoming in 1998. The foundation is run by Matthews mom, who unfortunately for Hilton has what they call “dignity”. Some highlights from a statement she posted last night:
“The Matthew Shepard Foundation was surprised to learn this morning via media reports that blogger Perez Hilton has announced plans to donate, to our organization, the proceeds of a lawsuit…
We had no advance notice or contact from Mr. Hilton or his representatives regarding this proposal, nor any communication since he posted this plan to his website.
We do not know the details of the lawsuit, whether it has been filed, the nature of his claims or the likely outcome. But because the lawsuit presumably involves the physical attack prompted by Mr. Hilton’s admitted use of an anti-gay slur, the Foundation will be unable to accept any funds obtained in such a manner.
…we also feel compelled to point out that use of epithets can often lead to physical violence, as it appears it may have in this case, and that the Matthew Shepard Foundation has worked for more than 10 years to bring to people’s attention the consequences of hateful or intolerant language.”
If you’re a gay guy in the news because someone punched you, and the most prominent gay rights organization has asked you to apologize, and a charity who works to end violence against gay people won’t take money from you, I think it’s safe to say you’re a piece of shit.
(I’m a big Hollywood star, far too self-centered to donate time or money to worthwhile causes, but this woman should be commended. Everyone reading this should donate anything you can here. I know you fuckers have a spare 10 dollars. HEROIC UPDATE - I am now a member of yet another gay rights leadership council (screencap). I can’t even keep track of how many I belong to at this point. 50?)
Clif Bars fucking rock.
It’s like you can almost taste the dirt and sawdust in them, but can’t stop chowing.
DB, looking at your avi, I think maybe that guy DID come!
Sock, you keep the cliff bars, I just had ginger soy scallops and braised green beans with maple pepperd bacon!
A PR stunt is exactly what this is. and now perez will spend time complaining about how they won’t take his money. what a joke.
You, Sup, may proceed to hell in a handbasket.
DB-doo doo butter
” I just had ginger soy scallops and braised green beans with maple pepperd bacon!”
:::looks down at lunch consisting of open tuna can and half-sleeve of ritz crackers, tosses in trash:::
Poor headly
*passes flask of johnnie blue*
Sock, I already know I am going…I am just working on my express pass now.
DTF mentions candy bars. Sup mentions her dainty little feast. Yep, makes sense.
Now I just need to hold off till I can do my Friday drink at work routine
…and Zombie, why the hate? I just talk on AIM. No need for all these jabs.
DB, I’m just launching missiles at LNOJ man. Sorry if you are involved in the crossfire but I figured since you are the only guy here who has fucked a Durdenite worth mentioning, that should serve as ample repellent to any faggotry based comments that may come your way.
“and now perez will spend time complaining about how they won’t take his money.”
SinDs, right now, the “Whale Wars” survivor is trying to be quite the journalist with MJ posts about the dr., the supposed intervention, and other BS trying to pull the wool over the eyes of his sheeple that he really gives a shit about MJ after all his crap from yesterday…
Johnny Blue!!! Much better than the scallops! unless I was eating them off of B herself, that is…
Durdenista… oops! Sorry, I get these stupid nick names for each gender confused.
Zombie…NBD…the nickname thingy is about as important as any comment from PH…
“…that should serve as ample repellent to any faggotry based comments that may come your way.”
Z, just the structure and wording of that sentence had me chuckling.
“Now I just need to hold off till I can do my Friday drink at work routine”
Sup, i’m pretty sure i’ve asked you before, but are you hiring?!
I would eat sea scallops off Bs naked body
Sin, come on down….I bet we could find something for you to do.
