Shaun Ryder

I love this man. Him and Chomsky.

This is a part of his wikipedia entry:


Channel 4

In 1997, Ryder made two live appearances on Channel 4's pre-watershed show TFI Friday, in both of which he repeatedly used the word "fuck". This led to his being banned from ever appearing on a live Channel 4 programme regardless of what time of day it is; he is the only person to date to be specifically referred to by name in Channel 4's Compliance Manual, which states:

"Please note that the Channel 4 Board has undertaken to the ITC that Shaun Ryder will not appear live on Channel 4."[1]


Smoking in public

In July 2007, Ryder flouted the UK's newly implemented smoking ban after he was witnessed lighting up cigarettes at a concert at the Ritz nightclub, Manchester, with his band The Happy Mondays. Representatives from the city council indicated they would investigate Ryder's actions, and visit the nightclub involved.
