Only 8 people actually complained about this - but I get the feeling that folk are starting to enjoy picking up on anything that could possibly be considered intolerable just to annoy the BBC.
But then...we are giving them a lot of money so they should probably sort themselves out.

From his past statements, Moyles perhaps doesn't like gay people much anyway so I suspect that his 'humour' may have been somewhat barbed. However, just 8 complainments suggest that it wasn't too bad.
But would he have made jokes about somebodies 'blackness'? Probably not.
Also loved this non-statement:
That was the bit that I love best!
Surely everything has the potential to cause offense if you're sad and boring enough to twist it that way?
Miserable bastards,
Definitely - you could claim pretty much anything was offensive to you. People crying offence usually, in my experience at least, is done as an attempt to play a silencing trump-card. I'd rather listen to someone expound on why they disagree with a phenomena, rather than have them appeal to emotion and say nothing of consequence by claiming offence.
Of course =]
Tomorrow we will see the story on MSN news and I can make a new topic about how 1 person complained! (Though I have a feeling more than one person might complain...)
Why is doing an impression of someone who has an effeminate high-pitched voice a comment on the entire gay community? Will Young does have an effeminate high-pitched voice.
Regardless, when we see films like Tropic Thunder with Robert Downey Jr 'blacking up' and putting on a stereotypical accent, I think it is probably unfair to criticse Moyles in this case
lol!

:yes:
That's not a New Labour trick - politicians have been doing that for as long as they've existed.
