Last time I looked I thought that the site may have been amusing to some but was not necessarily to my taste, fair enough. Except after reading YV's comments about Big Bummer I agree with her on that one - I understand that it's trying to be funny but there's a fine line between parody and utter unfairness. Particularly with the Julie jab in Ep 1.
Mind you, the man was still a fool to advertise the site and I still don't think his "Bad Fans" comment was entirely justified.
And I still maintain that putting fatty in there was a master stroke :-)

I find it odd that Brian gets angry with a small group of people making fun, tasteful or not, of him on a previously unknown website yet he seems to think its ok to let William Hung "sing" We Are The Champions." I guess if the TOFBRA people paid Brian to allow them to make fun of him then it'd be ok?
Now I am not sure if Brian has any say or thinks it is ok for William Hung to "sing" and profit off of WATC or not. But I can't help but to think that if he didn't want it to happen, it wouldn't happen. Or at the very least there'd be a comment on his soapbox displaying his disappointment in Hung covering and profiting off the song. It is on Hung's album that he is selling right?
I'm not saying that Brian shouldn't have feelings and not be hurt about the TOFBRA folks poking at him but with as long as he's been in the business, you'd think he would learn to ignore what he doesn't want to see or hear or atleast act like he is ignoring it. If you don't feed the fire, it eventually burns out right?

Brian's said before that as long as they don't change the lyrics, anyone can cover a song without the artist's permission as long as they pay the proper royalties.
makes sense I suppose. I guess Hung isn't really making fun of Queen. He really does try to sing. I think everyone knows that the reason people watch and listen to him is bc it is funny.
I noticed how WH butchers the words of the songs in semi-broken English...oy vey...
There is a huge difference between the cover of a song and making your private life a public joke. A song is only a song but your marriage is personal and close to your heart. Brian did not say that the TOFBRA people are "bad fans" he said who has fans like these does not need enemies and I have to agree. I am sure it was not very "smart" of Brian to respond to the website on his soap box but I can fully understand that he is hurt and angry about some people who think it's their god given right to write fiction about real peoples' lives and turn it into a cheap soap opera. If I were Brian's son I would remove the link, too and if I were Jen I would kick it off my list, too. They are friends and family of Brian and it's only natural that they protect his feelings.
I also agree with Robin about the guest book entry by chancellor amethyst, this was really low.

I agree. Nothing more to add :)
It seems idiots can do and say what they want on the world wide web! With this in mind I guess this sort of childish toilet humour is only to be expected!
I have revised my position on this site having read all the crap posted on the forum yes I don't like it and FUCK YOU.
If this is the behaviour of real fans then they are nothing like the 100's of REAL Queen fans I have met over the last 30 years. Queen and the four members do not deserve or need this utter shite!

OMG -- I can't get used to that, it's blinding me!! (Brian's stage wear -- OOH it's too busy!!)
And what the hell is that thing on his guitar, a sock? Did Flea of The Red Hot Chili Peppers leave a calling card?? *snicker*

Does Brian make a habit of commenting on fans sites?
How does he rate them? On a scale of 1 to 10?
If so, I'd be curious to know what he thought of
www.queeble.com that site is bloody hilarious, though with his seemingly sad sense of humour, I don't think it would rate well !
What do you guys think of it? Or do you have to wait until he gives it the green light?
