Sinead begs for more abuse mercy after nits joke
She calls herself Ireland's "Princess Diana" and has endured an excruciating love-hate relationship with the press. But Sinead O'Connor, Ireland's misunderstood singer turned priest, has finally snapped after a joke about head lice. The singer, who has endured 20 years of abuse for shaving her head, tearing up a picture of the Pope on live TV and being ordained as Mother Bernadette Maria by a quasi-Catholic group, placed a full-page advert in an Irish broadsheet yesterday begging for mercy from Mother Ireland.

In an extraordinary, 2,000-word plea she said she had lost the will to live after being "ridiculed, lashed and called mad", as part of a "national pastime" of Sinead-bashing since she started her career at 17. The final straw came this week when she said a Dublin tabloid mocked her calls for a national "delousing day" to combat the problem of nits. The paper went too far, in her view, when it got personal by comparing her with her brother, the novelist Joseph O'Connor, who recently topped the book charts with the acclaimed Star of the Sea after it was championed by the Richard and Judy show.

Sinead O'Connor objected to the paper mentioning her allegations of child abuse against her mother, but the paper stood by the story. The 38-year-old, whom one journalist once called "six tracks short of an album", then placed an advert in the Irish Examiner saying she was sick of being labelled a "crazy bitch" and could no long cope.
BIG CLUE: Not being able to cope with the publicity that you constantly stir up might be a sign of mental deficiency.
She said: "I beg ye, I can't live with the pain of being this nation's whipping post any longer. Untie me please and hose wash me down I ask ye." She said the abuse she endured at the hands of her mother in Dublin in the 1960s and 1970s was horrific, but she had been vilified for speaking about it publicly. The details of the abuse would make Ireland "cry for a month". She said the Irish press would not dare to treat its other pop icon, Bono from U2, in the same way. She said she wanted to be left alone to make religious music.
ADDITIONAL BIG CLUE AT NO EXTRA CHARGE: If you want to be "left alone" keep shaving your head try not to place 2,000 word full page adverts in the local newspaper. Nothing says "I vant to be alone" like a giant splashy tabloid article. F&%king nitwit.
