"The great British faggot is full of flavour and a great belly warmer at this time of year." — From the old but still wonderful BBC article entitled "Family of Faggot Fans Fly the Flag"

Oh Shia LaBeouf. That actor who we find so mysteriously over-hyped has landed himself in a bit of hot water. A video surfaced a couple of days ago on YouTube of a younger LaBeouf drunkenly calling his friend a 'faggot' and telling the kid to slap him. He does, in fact, get slapped and it is very satisfying. Then the videographer (Roger Deakins, we assume) urges Shia to take another shot of tequila. Now Shia is telling us that he's sorry.

Hoorah! The BBC has recanted from their evil, terroristic radio-bleeping of the word "faggot" on all their English wireless sets whilst playing the classic amazing 1987 Pogues song "Fairytale of New York" this holiday season. Bless you, BBC. [Daily Mirror]
