Amy Winehouse Round-Up: No Comment

It’s been a rougher than usual week for Winegums, what with Blake in the clink, her “arrest by appointment” and eventual release on bail, and her “brittle” psychological and emotional state as a result of it all.

However we were intrigued to note that the Daily Mail, whose borderline obsessive “Scroll Down For More” (there’s five of them today) has come to crystallise the UK press’ breathless treatment of Amy (we’re just like the Rogue Traders, before you haterate; you see us watching them watching her), has quietly removed the commenting option from any Amy-related stories in the last few days and hoped none of us would notice.

Perhaps they were unable to handle the guilt they were copping from comments such as “Rather than take her picture, whoever was photographing this poor girl should have given her a helping hand instead. What a vulture” and “What are the press doing outside her friend’s house at 5.45 on a Sunday morning? Shouting at Amy to come and talk to them by any chance?”
