littlesprite Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Elton John has asked people to boycott Dolce and Gabbana over their views on IVF babies and gay men. Next time I'm in the £1 store or Primark I will walk straight past any of their products. :naughty: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesprite Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Why is the alternate word for happy deemed unacceptable by the swear filter ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I've not seen or heard about this but anyone who shows prejudice to decent human beings whatever their gender or sexual preference is disgusting. As long as they're not axe murderers and the like, everyone has the right to have a baby, big brands like this should just keep their mouths shut and get on with what they do best, sorry rant over Grace 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I second what Littlesprite says, my Mum's name is Gay (short for Grace) , we have had to alter this to Kay now because of all of this nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlesprite Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Grace, The sad thing is that prejudice, both racial and sexual are part of everyday life. How many white Europeans have you ever seen working in Chinese or Indian restaurants. How many women have you ever seen working in Indian restaurants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Perhaps all who think that they should stick to selling their high priced tat should now go out and buy lots of 'knock off' D&G stuff- there's plenty out there! Although disgusted by their outburst, that won't include me - I think their tat is in the worst possible taste! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyPatricia Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 I don't see what all the fuss is about. Synthetic - the combination of two or more parts, whether by design or by natural processes. Furthermore, it may imply being prepared or made artificially, in contrast to naturally. Is this not what IVF is? People are just far too sensitive these days live and let live, your a long time dead Steve 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 It's always amused me that people only stand up for freedom of speech when they agree with what's being said. I completely disagree with what D&G have said but fully support their right to say it. I am almost of a mind to go out and buy one of their products.!!! What do they make? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 The word fashion Muppets springs to mind, there are far to many people with little brains and too much money they can fritter away. Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Gracious Me! Over a grand for a jumped up satchel !!!! What's wrong with a Tesco "bag for life" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbo Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ok folks I'm quite torn in this argument. My jeans and t-shirt are by primark...underwear probably by skidmark...but my fragrance... Today is Tuesday which means it's Green Irish Tweed (known as GIT by me) by Creed. (Same fragrance worn by George Clooney). My collection of fragrance includes Viktor and Rolf, Chanel, Tom Ford, Gucci, Dior, Hermes...cheap rubbish like Armani and Dolce Gabbana are saved for when I'm on the boat (Gnats hate D&G). Of course I have the advantage that my other half is a perfumer by profession or to be exact what is known as a 'nose'. She is able to distinguish by smell, not only which fragrance you are wearing but also its ingredients, both ancient and modern formulations. She knows the history of any given fragrance, how it is formulated, by whom and for whom. In fact she both lives and breathes fragrance. Consequently my collection grows steadily, fragrance is thrown away when its sell by (or sniff by) has expired and replaced with a new bottle if I like it or a new fragrance if I don't like the old. This ability of my other half has been passed onto our two year old Granddaughter who is fascinated by fragrance and loves nothing better than an hour or two sampling fragrance with Grandma. Indeed Perfume Grandma and Perfume Girl as they call each other. As for IVF...there are too many children in too many orphanages! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Proof that Gnats hate D&G... When did you last see a gnat with an over priced designer satchel? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Ironically it is alleged in today's 'i' newspaper that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. are gay themselves. Bit of Catholic guilt maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2poofsandMum Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Is the word gay banned on here, that is a little bit over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timbo Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I don't think its a forum policy...just the software. Perhaps that is one word we can have un whatever it is happens when the asterix come out? Back to Dolce & Gabbana...I notice Elton was walking around with his sarnies in a D & G bag yesterday. However the BIG news is that I've lifted Dolce & Gabbana fragrance out of the cheap crap suitable for gnat deterrent category after getting a whiff of their new Light Blue Pour Homme Swimming in Lipari Limited Edition. Fantastic fragrance...stupid name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadScot Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Yup as far as I am l aware, it's a quirk of the software. Nothing sinister. Iain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 I think I need to remove that word from the list.. I don't think its a word to be filtered. Jonzo If you disagree shout back and I'll reapply it As far as I know the software comes with these preset, I notice some others which probably should be in there which aren't.. so it's a bit random! Lol.. I can't do it from work as the maintenance screen is blocked for bad language!! I'll take a look later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranworthbreeze Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Is the word gay banned on here, that is a little bit over the top I have edited the filter to allow the word gay.RegardsAlan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 And a gay old timer can be had by all. Sorry, that was a typo, it should have read "time" but it was too late to edit it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
