ANOTHER HM COMPLAINT:
This is terrible. After the savaging I got last week for daring to slag off Pete Doherty, I find the only person with more "intense" fans than him...
"I read Holy Moly every week and I think it's very funny and shows up what a sham the celebrity world is. But I was offended by the Easter screen saver you did. Not because of the image - which is quite funny, but what is written underneath "To celebrate some crazy idiotic notion that a bearded guy with a shroud came back from the dead". I am a Catholic, and my religion has brought me a lot of comfort and hope in dark times - I don't want everyone to be a Catholic, and everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, but, please, don't slag off a religion that is based on peace and love. Yes, I know that the Vatican is the richest city in the world, and that wars have been fought over religion and that there have been abusive priests - but that does not mean that what Jesus preached is worthless, he preached peace, love and forgiveness. So why slag it off? You don't have to be a Christian, and you're entitled to your opinion, but please don't be nasty about it - just leave it be. It doesn't really reflect well on you in the end."
You are of course absolutely right - Holy Moly is a celebrity gossip website which should concentrate on exposing people who build careers and legend on nothing more than hearsay, PR and gullible fans who believe any old shit. Oh.
