Amongst all the death threats /cancelled gigs nonsense this appeared in the "Top Tips" section of the 25th anniversary edition of Viz - the Adult Humour Comic

MORRISSEY Stop chirping on about the USA and capitalsim when a) you live over there and b) you go on chat shows just to promote your new album you f**cking charlatan

This brought a smile to my face but I think you would need to have seen the comic before to fully understand it's humour

  • I thought it was brilliant! :D The Viz is aimed at students really and fluctuates between quite vulgar and very accurate, surreal humour; basically it's not for the easily offended! They had an article a few months ago when YATQ came out titled "What's Up Morrissey's Arse?" and a pic of Mozzer with gladioli circa This Charming Man. That kind of humour just really makes me laugh, and any Moz fan who takes it too seriously should definitely lighten up.

  • Always a good read, although the comic is really not the same as it was (it really is 'not as funny as it used to be').

    I remember the 'Morrissey is a twat - official!' story - it involved some eminent scientist using an argument which basically amounted to childish abuse.

    I'm sure Moz can laugh at himself.

  • For American fans, 'Not As Good As It Used To Be' is almost a catchphrase for the self-depreciating and utterly brilliant Viz, a comic institution in the UK for twenty odd years and the finest thing to come out of Newcastle since Sir Bobby.

    The letters page and 'Top Tips' is just majestically funny and everyone should visit viz.co.uk to have a look through them. Also, take in the 'Profanisaurus' and 'Sexist Book Of Records'. Genius.

    On the subject of Moz, he did get his own cartoon this summer (which of course was a big piss take but if Viz choose you as a victim it's a kind of honour) and I suspect he'll chuckle away to himself reading this latest inclusion.

    Loads of people are going to say that Viz was really funny once but isn't anymore (hence their own catchphrase) but as a regular reader I think it's been exceptionally funny in the last two years after a big dip in the late 90's. Anyone outside of the UK should subscribe to it, (not that I work for them or anything), simply because it documents British life almost as well as Morrissey and it's stupidly funny more often than not.

    Viz IS Britain.

    There's my sales pitch. Now go to the website.

  • You're right. Now I think moz has heard your point. Because of your shining views, he will change his mind, do rap-music, go fat and do porn.
