I thought it was interesting that the neighbors comment, which at first was considered offensive, became a non-issue for many after they found out the neighbor was gay.

Probably filling up the registration form as we speak. What remains to be seen is whether he'll manage to pass through the troll filter or not.

I don't think either of my children like the Pet Shop Boys so they will probably end up however they would have without being warped by the sickness that is Neil and Chris.

What about me though? I like the Pet Shop Boys. Am I gay now?

weirdalfan1980 - the never-ending story of this board? it's getting extremely boring.

i don't see anything dramatic in this thread on that page. the neighbour probably made some kind of joke and if this commentary is meant to be serious i'm not surprised that the story took place in america. surely her sun is not gay just because he likes listening to psb music all day long. but she better stops playing bob marley records to her little daughter - if she likes it - you may know how she ends up...

I really dont care about the sexual orientation of musicians, for me this is just a particular issue.
I am not gay and I love PSB. But I dont see any problems if they are gay or if many fans are gay, to judge an artist for the sexual orientation is so nonsense.
Anyway, the original topic was funny.

I think you've all missed the point here. It's not about whether the PSB are gay. It's about how their latest disco romp efforts put infants to sleep.

what else do you expect from a baby that age? that after listening to nyc boy he goes to new york to rebuild studio 54?

I will also make experiments after we get our next toddler.

Well Neil's voice is quite soothing.

The story sound VERY familiar to me, I think the same story was posted already 2 or 3 years ago.

You mean here ? Because it might be this one.

My 7 month old son (my, how time flies) loves disco music and hates rock.

He likes to go to sleep listening to the Battleship Potemkin ST.
