Wank on, Durannies
A new Duran Duran wank - not at all related to Justin Timberlake.

Duran have announced that they will soon be introducing a paid members-only site. Some fans aren't happy. The thread begins with a well-reasoned list of pro's and con's.

The discussion devolves into a wank about free market theory and The American Way.

What the shit, indeed.

Ohhh.

Soon the site will be Pay-Per-Wank?

I can hear the screams of outrage now...

What's the American way got to do with it? Last time I looked, most of Duran Duran were a glorious product of the early Thatcherite years... *g*

Don't you KNOW? Everything's American, unless it's not in English or has amusingly camp British men flouncing around for our amusement.

And the SECOND is only non-American if EVERYONE has a British accent that we can't tell isn't real (note: All non-American accents on the English language are British, especially Irish, Australian and New Zeland...ian...accents).

Everything else is as American as apple pie, motherhood and cold beer.

Hang on, does this mean that pudgy, boring ex-wannabe public schoolboys are, in fact, American?

YES!!!! Keep Simon Le Bon. Tell you what, on behalf of my own country, I'm giving you *all* of U2 as well!
