And and Why shot. The
ongoing film fan flim flam between TV’s Barry
Norman and Jonathan Ross has reached grisly new
depths this week, resulting in the shooting, by
Ross, by crossbow, of two of Norman's dogs.
The presenters have been at
each other’s throats since Ross (36) took
over from Norman (real name Barrold Normington)
as host of the BBC’s movie flagship Film
'89 several months ago.
It seems that Mr Norman (72)
felt jealous at being replaced with a "younger
model" whom he felt didn’t have the
required encyclopaedic knowledge of film lore.
For his part Ross, (real name Rippy Winters) resented
snipers from the press who shot at him with metaphorical
bad review guns.
The two men started shouting
abuse at each other across the BBC canteen, and
at one point it is believed that Jeremy Irons
had to intervene when an arm-wrestle got out of
hand. Over the following weeks, Ross and Norman
both began campaigns of hate, involving spiteful
letters sent to Ross’s mother, and the tyres
being let down on Norman’s bicycle.
Things turned ugly last Wednesday
when Norman hid Ross’s umberella in a cupboard
just when he needed to go out in the rain. This
was the final straw for Ross who was so upset
at having his expensive blue crocodile suit ruined
that he done gone mental.
It was the next afternoon and
Mr Norman was walking his three pet dogs AND,
WHY and NOT around the BBC centre car park just
as he did every day, when tragedy struck.
Ross jumped out from behind
a bin and started screaming obscenities at Norman.
A crowd had already formed by the time Ross had
produced a crossbow from his rucksack.
Security guards wrestled Ross to the ground, but
not before he had loosed two deadly steel bolts.
Two of the dogs (AND and WHY) were hit and died
on their way to the vets - much in the same way
as page three stunna Jill Dando. NOT was unharmed,
as was Mr Norman who is still under sedation in
the BBC sanatorium. Ross remains in police custody.
Idiotica SAYS:
The shooting by crossbow of innocent animals
is unforgiveable, and Idiotica hopes that Ross
receives the maximum sentence for the murder of
the two dogs - the electwic chair. |
