James Blunt's racist overtones

James Blunt, full-time ladykiller and part-time tune-killer, is the subject of Metro's 60 Seconds With today, and he comes across as perhaps, ahem, a touch lacking in cultural sensitivity.

When asked what is the weirdest instrument he's played (presumably answering "my freakily unpleasant vocal cords" was not allowed), he answers:

"I've played a weird, stringed turtle thing. It was in a dodgy foreign country."

A "dodgy foreign country", eh? James, it's the 21st century! We don't say things like that any more!

Also kind of gives the impression he can't even remember what country he was in doesn't it? But wherever it was, we bet the musician is regretting lending his instrument to some "dodgy foreign singer" who makes weird sounds that surely can't be construed as "music" by any discerning culture?

Pass the sick bag

We knew that chalet girls had a bit of a reputation for being, ahem, perhaps a little less than choosy, but hearing that hundreds of them have let James "shame about the everything" Blunt take their virginities makes us physically nauseous, frankly.

Thankfully, this story has a definite whiff of the totally made-up about it. Are we seriously meant to believe that hundreds of girls turn up to be chalet workers as virgins? And doesn't the wearing of a T-shirt boasting "James Blunt took my virginity" smack more of an ironic joke than a genuine confession?

If James Blunt had taken either of Celebritish's virginities we would be doing everything in our power to ensure the vile knowledge never got out. We'd also take a thousand showers, make a lifetime vow of celibacy and contemplate suicide.
