Despite Our Long-Standing Dohertorium, A Brief Injection Of Pete
As any loyal reader knows, we try to avoid Pete Doherty like the plague, as his case is just too sad-sacky for even us. But we are breaking our Dohertorium for one day and one day only, thanks to this Sun footage of the singer shooting up in a Thai hotel, which will no doubt be forwarded to you five times this morning. It’s the high standard in new lows: Doherty may be a shameless drug fiend, but his behavior is only slightly more revolting than that of the British media, whose members giddily put his every meltdown on display, and then sanctimoniously claim that they’re just trying to warn the public of the dangers of drug abuse (and yes, pot calling kettle, etc.) Watch if you want, but the unsettling ickiness will stick with you for hours–as will that damn Gorillaz tune that’s playing in the background.
