£100k PAYDAY FOR PAEDOPHILE GLITTER the A.A.grumpy column

[pantoandy]

hello well here are again at grumpy towers do come in and hang your coat up.

it seems that gary glitter is still hot tabloid news heres the latest offering from the sun that pervert chasing crusading newspaper well its sells papers anyway.

POP pervert Gary Glitter has been handed a £100,000 payday by bungling advertising chiefs.

Computer giant Hewlett Packard is using Glitter’s 1972 hit Do You Wanna Touch Me to promote a new touch-screen model.

The song features in a major marketing campaign, with TV adverts being screened all over America.

The ads actually use a 1982 cover version sung by US rocker Joan Jett.

But because the song was originally written by Glitter, the 64-year-old paedophile collects all the royalties.

And his windfall could be even bigger if the ad sparks a surge in internet downloads.

US campaigners are now demanding Hewlett Packard axe the advert. Child Abusewatch.net said: “It shows a distinct lack of sensitivity.”

The song was chosen by HP’s advertising company, although bosses at the computer firm would have approved the ad.

Experts say it will earn Glitter about £100,000. A source at the American Society of Composers said: “Any song used in a major campaign costs tens of thousands. It’s very lucrative for the artist.”

Glitter already enjoys income of about £200,000 a year thanks to his back catalogue of ’70s hits.

His records are never played on UK radio any more following his child sex convictions, but they remain popular in the US.

The cash allowed Glitter to live a life of luxury before he was jailed for child sex in Vietnam.

He was deported back to Britain, but then went into hiding after complaints from neighbours forced him out of a £2,000-a-week bolthole in Mayfair, central London.

The computer ad is not being shown on British TV, but could be viewed online. Hewlett Packard said it pulled the internet ads as soon as it was told of the Glitter link.

GRUMPS

you shouldnt laugh but admitedly it did bring a little smile to the corner of my mouth.

someone at H.P has dropped a great big clanger over this one .

if glitter had any sort of remorse and wished to repair his reputation he would donate the entire royalties to some childrens charity like the nspcc or other childline the uk.

oh look theres a cow jumping over the moon and pink pigs flying .

because the swaggering laughing pervert considers only himself and living a lavish

lifestyle.

a suitable song for glitter would be the one by the spencer davies group

KEEP ON RUNNING KEEP ON HIDING !!!!!!!!

I'm sure this was not down to Gary Glitter.

He is hardly in the position to be making deals.

It is unfair to have a dig at him because some-one ballsed up and used his track. It is the idiot who sanctioned it that should be donating money to 'childline.

As usual, the gutter press are out for anything they can get and guess who else makes money?? oh yeah....The Sun newspaper.
