John Galliano sacked from Dior
2011-03-04
[Emirates 24/7] John Galliano has been sacked from Christian Dior.
The most effeminate of all possible homosexuals would mince past this guy, stop, stare, and sneer: "Faggot!"
The fashion house have decided to axe their creative director following his alleged anti-Semitic remarks last week as they don't want to be associated with his views.
I apologize to any homosexuals I've offended. Funny-looking as the guy is, when you come right down to it, it's not so much the packaging that's loathsome as the content.
Truth be told, gay guys in gay bars say worse things about other gays all the time. Trust me.
Sidney Toledano, Dior's president and chief executive officer, said in a statement today: "I condemn most firmly the statements made by John Galliano which are in total contradiction to the essential values that have always been defended by the House of Christian Dior."

The house confirmed the "odious behaviour" exhibited by Galliano in the video released yesterday - in which he told a group of people he believed to be Jewish they should be dead and pronounced his love for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler - was the final straw resulting in his dismissal.
Wouldn't it have been just fabulously ironic if, upon saying those words, he had been instantly transported to a Nazi rally during Hitler's heyday wearing the exact outfit that he's wearing in the picture?
The news of Galliano's sacking comes hours after Natalie Portman disassociated herself from the designer because of his recent actions.

The actress - who is the face of Christian Dior's Miss Dior Cherie fragrance - said: "I am deeply shocked and disgusted by the video of John Galliano's comments that surfaced today. In light of this video, I will not be associated with Mr. Galliano in any way. I hope at the very least, these terrible comments remind us to reflect and act upon combating these still-existing prejudices that are the opposite of all that is beautiful."

As well as the video, Galliano is accused of making racist remarks to Geraldine Bloch - including calling her a "dirty Jew face" - during a drunken episode in Gay Paree last Thursday (24.02.11) as well threatening her friend Philippe Virgitti.

Despite the controversy, a spokesperson for Galliano's eponymous label has confirmed the show will go ahead this Sunday (06.03.11) at Gay Paree Fashion Week.

#8  Click on the article headline and enjoy the idea that the Flower Child in that photo was thrown out so fast on his exquisitely upholstered ass that he left skid marks on the sidewalk.

#7  Well, when you're working the “épater le bourgeois” schtick, and nearly everything that doesn't land you with a life sentence has been done, then maybe pulling that old brown shirt and jodhpurs out of the closet might work...
