The Culture Club leader, pretty much of out of nowhere, is now getting a lot of attention again for all the wrong reasons.


It all started completely unwarranted.

Like a lightning bolt out of a clear sky, George got the pot stirring with this tweet,

Naturally, this equally confusing and fiery tweet aroused some responses.

One, since deleted, asked if the singer did, in fact, know what he was talking about.

People instantly derided George for the comment in a slew of different ways.


A few users even got a direct response from George.

Spoiler: he did not apologize or respond diplomatically.

And many others, clearly angered, took this opportunity to remind everyone that George is no stranger to controversy.

Back in 2008, he was convicted for handcuffing a male model and beating them.


Whether George sees the error of his ways or not is still unclear. But accusing people, transgender or cisgender, asking to have people recognize their gender identities and not just make one up for them based on what they see of being attention seeking is looking a bit like...

'Based On A True Story' Movies That Aren't True At All

The entertainment industry has long been criticized for their creative license when it comes to retelling history or anything "based on a true story."

Going back to the silent film era and D.W. Griffith's ridiculously inaccurate White supremacist propaganda Birth Of A Nation to Mel Gibson's Braveheart to Disney's Pocahontas, some films go way beyond creative license and careen into total malarkey.

Musk's AI Chatbot Throws Republicans Under The Bus After Being Asked About Economy

Grok, billionaire Elon Musk's very own chatbot, threw Republicans under the bus after software engineer Alex Coke asked it if Democrats or Republicans have been better for the economy in the past 30 years, only for it to answer that yes, in fact, Democrats are the winners when it comes to economic policy.

CNN Airs Brutal Reminder Of Trump's Previous Economic Predictions—And They Did Not Age Well

CNN came with the receipts, airing a supercut of clips from 2020 and 2024 of President Donald Trump making hilariously wrong economic predictions—a damning reel of evidence as financial markets decline and investor concerns grow over Trump’s trade policies.

In fact, Trump’s escalating trade war pushed the S&P 500 more than 10% below its record high set just last month. A drop of this size is significant enough that professional investors call it a “correction,” and the S&P 500’s 1.4% decline on Thursday marked its first since 2023.
