Wham! George Michael seen plowing into parked cars with Range Rover
Singer Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou (better known as 'George Michael') is in a bit of a pickle with some British bobbies after allegedly rearranging the sheetmetal on his Range Rover Vogue (and that of three parked cars) near his North London home before 8 am earlier this week.
Problem is, he of "Careless Whisper" fame neglected to call for help, stick around to wait for the authorities, or even leave his insurance information. Michael apparently drove off, leaving his damaged navy SUV on a neighboring street.
After being interrogated by police who visited his home, word is that Mr. 'Too Funky' fessed up, and is now making arrangements to compensate owners of the vehicles he damaged.
No word what legal fate might befall the singer, but according to

....considering he is a homosexual, which can be equated with mental illness, I am not suprised. He is also permiscuous, which is equated with homosexuality as well.

Hey #2:
Your soooo right! In fact lets not stop there, lets put all the homosexuals away forever because, after all, mental illness is equated with danger to the public, right?
Please. SoWhat is some old man wearing depends,cranky because his life is almost over and the only things he has accomplished is this inane post and nonsense like it. Get a clue, bigot.

His only mental illness seems to be he can't avoid doing stupid things, and being caught doing them.
It's usually amusing, though, because he's so unfailingly nice about it "...yes, the police were quite lovely and treated me well." etc etc that type of thing.

Wow, I did not know he was Greek. That explains many things about him including bending over and touching his ankles....

To SoWhat:
Hmmm. As a pyschologist, I don't remember ever reading about homosexuality as a mental illness. You may want to recant your statement, or actually read something other than Nazi literature. Or, if you are looking for signs of real mental illness, you may want to look in the mirror.
As for George, just more stupid behavior, which he's already quite famous for.

#10 While I don't consider homosexuality to be a mental illness, I am shocked that you are not aware that it was considered to be such until the 60's or 70's.

You would think a "psychologist" would know how to spell one's profession...

Not to feed the troll - but please check in with Mr. Spell Check before using a word you don't know, like "promiscuous".

To Kevin:
As a psychologist, you shouldn't tell people they're mentally ill or to look in a mirror to see signs of mental illness, without properly diagnosing their condition.
As a psychologist myself, specializing in mental illness as a cause of homosexuality, I agree with SoWhat

I think he was trying to get AHEAD while looking to see who was BEHIND him.
Whatever was INSIDE him to do such a stupid thing, glad to see he CAME clean.

Countless clinical studies have shown that people that are the most offended by homosexuality are the most aroused by it. CAT scans and brainwaves prove it. Hitting a little too close to home? In denial?
Keep the bigot comments to yourself. This is AUTOblog.
