George Michael back in the parks

George Michael is at it again! George, can't you just stay out of the parks? Surely a guy as good looking and rich as you are can find lots of guys of your type without resorting to desparate measures. "Our culture" indeed. Give me a break.

The tabloid News of the World reported that George Michael was found "trolling for sex" at Hampstead Heath park in London last weekend. The paper's photographs show a seemingly upset Michael at a park at night, alongside a photo of the man who claims to have "hooked up" with the pop star in the underbrush. The man is described in the paper as a "pot-bellied, 58-year-old, jobless van driver" named Norman Kirtland. Kirtland tells the paper, "I don't even like George Michael.... OK, I admit I was there for sex. But I'm astonished a man as famous as George should even think about doing it. It's potentially so dangerous." Michael himself is quoted as saying to the paper that night, "Are you gay? No? Then fuck off! This is my culture! I'm not doing anything illegal. The police don't even come up here anymore."
