heroin needle

Pete does stuff, we write about it, you read it, simple as...

by Mike Diver
Artists: Babyshambles

He's proper pissed off that the only thing the papers want him for is his DRUG-fuck self-destruction, the ambulance-chasing scumbags, but that doesn't stop our Pete Doherty from being very silly.

The sometime-singer-cum-would-be-author has been snapped by some money-hungry beggar or other doing stuff with DRUGS, again. Said pictures are in The Sun. Right now. Over there, in the newsagents. LOOK. Wow...

With Pete currently on parole, or bail, or whatever the fuck it is this week, the pictures are sure to see him dumped in the shitter all over again, even though they're five weeks old. The MAJOR talking point this time around, though, is that the snaps show Doherty injecting DRUGS into an unconscious female friend. Which is, y'know, probably not a good thing to be doing, like, ever. Right?

RIGHT.

So, the conclusions: DRUGS are bad, generally; unconscious people can be fun, but be sure to use magic markers and not needles; and Babyshambles are still a band, allegedly. Not that you'd know it from all the gigs they're playing right now.

Can I go to the pub now, please?


HAHAHA

the pete article


Unconscious people in baths at parties are fun

but don't piss on them if the plug is in! Let's have fun at someone's expense but within reason, kidz


so

take the plug out, so the piss doesnt get diluted is what yr saying? good point.

You should leave the plug in

Get everybody at the party to piss in the bath, so when that person wakes up they are in a bath full of piss.


Or

the person drowns in piss and you go to jail for criminal negligence.


Fun with sleeping people...

...a common theme of Dirty Sanchez.

I reckon Pete should join the Dirty Sanchez team.


could he get a silly nickname?

like paraletic advantage taker pete?


p-do!


ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

You deserve a pint for that.
He's such a twat (Doherty).
What a fuckwit injecting someone who was allegedly asleep.
Bet he dies soon. He's on a death wish.

Also liking the dirty Sanchez team comment by Damian.


his defence is that he was taking it out

not putting it in

who can say


how the hell can you tell from a picture

if someone is unconscious or just really enjoying some great skag?


what a plan

it's such a beautiful cycle.

buy smack
do smack
give interview about taking smack
collect cash from press
buy smack
do smack
give interview...

he's got a plan, man.


i seee

new babyshambles song titles.


true

great plan. isn't he in a band or something?


More Of The Same From Pete (And The Sun)

I completely understand the outrage at these pictures, and agree they are definitely outrageous - but - the accusations might just be exaggerated, or perceived in a certain way simply to villify Pete more so than already done. There is little way that you can tell that Pete is actually injecting the girl's arm with the needle in the Sun's photos, he could simply be removing it (as he claims), and just because her eyes are closed doesn't make her 'unconscious' or 'asleep', they might have just been shut while the photo was taken, after all isn't that the state heroin usually leaves people in after a hit (as alcxxk says)? I mean, seeing him do drugs isn't exactly earth-shattering, so maybe this is just an excuse to invent a new way to criticise him by The Sun, because doing drugs is hardly a rare or surprising event in his life.
I just think we need to remember the hate campaign against Pete at the moment, which helps to better understand why these photos are being interpreted as they are, and not just as more evidence of his drug problems, which are stacking up.
Maybe the story of 'Pete injects female fan' is just another example of the sensationalist Sun? Come on, that wouldn't be too hard to believe.

i agree

he could also be taking the needle out of her arm. but worst of all - pete - stop letting them take pics of you, you muppet.

did someone say he was in a band or something?


.

Babyshambles were booked into the premises rehearsal studios last week for a few days while I was in there.

Their new direction sounds good...down to a three piece, they sound like they are paying homage to early sixties instrumental surf groups in terms of complexity and structure, but with a nod to early seventies prog, in terms of length.

Tweety Pie was nowhere to be seen, though


bollocks


..

im still fuckin laughing at P-Do.
Genius.


.

what's bollocks? The fact that they were rehearsing without him, or the fact they sounded shit?


Who the

fuck injects their drugs into somone who's unconcious, what a waste. I am disappointed Peter.


why are these reports

so sarcastic in tone? to the unfamiliar observer it could appear unprofessional.


.

Obviously the man is a fool, but I can kinda believe he was taking the needle out. Not wanting to be mistake for a Babyshambles fan but just look at the expression on his face, it's hardly "HAHAAA LOOK ISN'T INJECTING UNCONSCIOUS GIRLS WITH SMACK HILARIOUS??!?!!1?11!!ONEONEONE"

I could be mistaken though.


Crazy

I don't mind if he does damage to himself, but inject drugs into an unconscious fan of his? That's an all time low, even for him.

Let's just hope he didn't use that needle earlier before stabbing that nasty needle into her arm. I'd get checked for rabies and isht.


As someone who regularly uses needles

(to inject my dog with valium for his epilepse) it really doesn't look like he is "injecting" anything. It does seem like he is removing the needle.


if its that obvious to you

then medical professionals should have no trouble disproving the allegation. Hopefully the Sun then then get in loads of shit for printing the "story".


no because

The Sun is above the law.


i think we're all missing the big issue here:

dogs have epilepsy?!?


Magic marker and needles...

surely a subvertive reference to Pulp Fiction?


he a muppett

should lock him up. tonight. end of glorfying heroin use. ffs. you supposed to be good first!!!

ffs


Are you all really that stupid?

Honestly, I despair at some of these comments.

Go out and buy a book on journalistic law. Please.
Just look at the number of court cases against the Sun and other tabloids that SUCCEEDED:

Naomi Campbell - "I don't take drugs"...she later admits to taking drugs.

Linford Christie - "I don't take performance enhancing drugs"...he's later banned for taking performance enhancing drugs

Jeffrey Archer - "I don't do fraud"...he's later imprisoned for it.

So, with it being this easy to dispute a claim that's actually true, does anybody find it strange Pete Doherty hasn't rushed his lawyers out, sued The Sun for a helluvva lot of money and gone on a smack-adventure-weekend?

Hmmm I'm sure it was just a BIG misunderstanding....


pete cockerty

why are his fucking hands always so dirty? Does he fist tramps for smack money?
