    Amy WineHouse blocker?

    Hello,

    Does anyone know of a tool that can completely block any news stories, web pages, or text about the above mentioned star?

    I literally have zero interest in this person's current location / photos / gossip / music and find the media's current obsession with her extremely annoying.

    If someone could find me something like that, my world would be a better place

    Thanks

    Josh

    Re: Amy WineHouse blocker?

    ^ That's pretty low, do you know her?

    Josh, there's an adblock addon (Firefox) to block all rick-rolls - maybe one of the geeks on here could adapt it to block all traces of Ms Winehouse.

    Personally, I hope she picks up again, her music is impressive, her lifestyle reports bore me though

    Re: Amy WineHouse blocker?

    Of course the music is impressive.

    It's the lifestyle that everyone reports though... And that teenagers idolise/shouldn't be.

    I want her to come out of hospital though. It seems too nice a death for anyone that digs themselves into as many holes, addicts themselves to as many things, and then provides music that I don't like anyway (despite the impressiveness, it doesn't mean I necessarily like that music) as hospitals are probably supplying her with everything.

    Pricate/NHS hospital anyone know?

    She was at University College Hospital which is an NHS hospital, but she could have then been moved into a private ward which is paid for by health insurance companies.

    If anyone finds one could they please send it back to last year? I've been waiting for the media to lose interest since she "ironically" did a song about rehab then, ho ho ho, ended up in rehab straight after! What a gas!

    Re: Amy WineHouse blocker?

    I can't understand why anyone would wish the death of a fragile, gifted young woman whose talent is the only original thing to have happened in music for at least a decade. Come on please, the media attention may be offensive and Ms Winehouse may not be the best role model but she is still just a girl going through difficult times. Strewth.

    Sorry Agent, I'm afraid I do really like the music. And she has personality. And her waxwork looks great

    I'm going to let you off this time Santa, because if anything were to happen to you, I will be depriving many children of a happy Christmas this year.

    Yeah, but liking her music and calling it "the most original thing for at least a decade" are quite different...

    I don't like her music particularly, but that would be quite separate. I just can't stand her. This spaced-out cadet stumbling through life is hard to respect in any way. She may be a wonderful person underneath, but who can know now? Will we ever?

    Don't like the media coverage she gets, but I've stopped buying papers recently, so don't care that much. The odd occasion she makes it onto the BBC online news I just don't click. It's quite easy to avoid for me.

    This is exactly what I was going to say. I don't dislike her music, but I don't rate it above average.
    I certainly don't think she's that original - and definitely not for a decade.
