Story here. Excerpt:

'THE organisers of the Electric Picnic festival, which kicks off this Friday, are to highlight the issue of Irish male suicide during the three-day event.
...
“We have arranged for five people, all of whom have been affected by Irish male suicide, to light the temple on Sunday,” said Mr Reynolds.

More than 35,000 people are expected to attend the festival this year, headlined by the Sex Pistols, My Bloody Valentine, Franz Ferdinand, Underworld and George Clinton the P Funk Allstars. The festival runs from Friday, August 29th to Sunday, August 31st.'

Anyone remember Funkadelic?

Anyway, its a good cause. Male suicide and the 'so-called' privileged gender? It just makes ZERO sense.

I'm not kidding, but I while back a feminist commented on the higher rate of male suicide.

She commented: 'Atleast men have the determination to go through with it'

She was referring to the fact that when a man has a suicide attempt, he generally uses more lethal means than a woman. [is: gunshot]

I think she was actually jealous that men are more likely to blow their brains out.

All the sons divided they'd fall
Here await the birth of the son
The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one.'
