Mail: a truly despicable article ("nothing 'natural' about Stephen Gately's death")

Is this the same newspaper that saw fit to shove a camera in the faces of two young kids at their father's funeral in the name of public interest. Had they been my kids the only picture that would have come out from that camera would be the inside of the fucker's eye socket.
 
My aussie journo friend has just picked this up - Jan Moir is going to be persona non grata globally by the time we've finished with her.

Peter Lloyd said:
When PinkPaper.com contacted Moir, she refused to answer her phone. Likewise, when we contacted the Daily Mail’s top editorial team – the people who approve articles before they go to print – we were told they were "too busy."

Despite a slew of follow-up messages, PinkPaper.com were still waiting for a response at the time of going to press.

The article sparked such outrage that the website’s link crashed under demand. Instead of loading from its URL link, it instead displayed an intermittent error message which read: “Sorry...The page you have requested does not exist or is no longer available.”

Moir's peers have also responded to her comments, echoing the opinion of gay men and women across the world. The Times' Caitlin Moran wrote: "Jan Moir better pray she never needs another hair cut or interior design job," while The Guardian's Charlie Brooker tweeted: "Jan Moir manages to walk the difficult tightrope between being a bitch and a cunt."

Likewise, Stephen Fry tweeted: “I gather a repulsive nobody writing in a paper no one of any decency would be seen dead with has written something loathesome and inhumane.”

Similarly, a Facebook group, entitled The Daily Mail Should Retract Jan Moir's Hateful, Homophobic Article, has garnered hundreds of members within hours. One, James Stables, posted: "I am absolutely appalled by this article, how can any one want to hurt his family and add fuel to the fire for people who already hate gay people - unbelievable woman. I hope The Mail makes her publish an apology."

Meanwhile, gay celebrities including Derren Brown are asking for people to complain to the Press Complaints Commission, claiming Moir is breeching their codes of conduct.

Companies who have advertised with the Daily Mail, including Clinique and Marks and Spencer, are also being asked to withdraw their commercial association.
