Boy George is going to jail

Boy George

Singer Boy George, who was convicted of falsely imprisoning a male escort in his flat in Shoreditch, east London, has been jailed for 15 months.

The singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, denied the charge and claimed the victim, Norwegian Audun Carlsen, 29, had stolen photos from his laptop.

O'Dowd, 47, admitted handcuffing him to a wall in April 2007 but said he did so in order to trace the missing property.

Judge David Radford told the singer he was guilty of "gratuitous violence". [BBC]

I love all the gay sodomy jokes! They're oh so clever too! Good work guys! Keep that bigotry flowing!

Bigotry? Inmates raping inmates is bigoted against who? You're seriously a PC idiot.

2:44 is right. 3:05 thinks rape jokes are funny. let's make one about his sister. oh that's right - raping girls isn't funny. only homos, right?

Whether Boy George is gay or not has nothing to do with the humor in what awaits him in jail. 2:44 & 3:41 are complete idiots.

This gay guy thinks the inmate on inmate jokes are funny.

The funniest thing would be for a female corrections officer have her way with Mr. George.

wouldn't be so funny if you had a loved one in prison. you people are ignorant fools.

Even loved ones in prison are there for a reason. Break the law and meet Bubba, Dad.

5:33, can't wait til you or someone you love ends up in jail for something ridiculous. so if you break the law, you deserve to be raped? most people break the law in some form on a daily basis. think about it. also, if you knew anything about prison and/or jail you'd know that in most medium to lower security places that situation rarely exists.

Rape IS funny. Vice magazine said so.

Posted by Anonymous | January 16, 2009 5:47 PM

I can say with some certainty that neither myself nor any loved one I have will ever commit a crime that warrants going to prison and thereby being raped. I'm good peeps, from the highest caliber stock, you ghetto rat!

Now go play a culture club record and cry into your wine cooler, loser.

if you don't break the law you deserved to be raped?

Nothing Vice magazine has every said has ever been funny. All the money people give to Vice for whatever reason should go towards a community center or something.

I can just imagine the convos that are going to go down while he's in the slammer:

MALE PRISON INMATE: Hey Boy, you know you have a milk moustache there? Can I get you a towel?

BOY GEORGE: Thanks doll, too bad it isn't milk though!

everything Vice Magazine does is funny - they totally ROCK

"raping girls isn't funny. only homos, right?"

We'd still crack these jokes if Boy George were straight.
