Gareth Gates graduates

Now here's a story to soften the heart of even the most cynical Crippled Monkey.
Ouch's own Disability Bitch has had words about everyone's favourite disabled teen dream pop star, Gareth Gates, in the past. But now it appears that our Gaz has beaten his stammer and . Apparently he could earn up to £500 a week if he takes up the job full-time. (Note to Ouch editor: I'm in the wrong job!)
However, Gareth's new career direction has caused a peculiar problem - namely, fans of the spiky-haired singer have been pretending that they have a speech problem simply so that they can join his class and get an hour on their own with their favourite poptastic pin-up. That's scandalous!
Of course, if I was being my usual cynical Crippled Monkey self, I might be tempted to suggest that Gareth's possible career move is a result of his pop star status being on the slide. But I won't, because that would be horrible and cynical, wouldn't it? Oh yes.

Its disgusting that you feel it necessary to take the mickey out of a speech impediment.
To those who do suffer from this condition it is frustrating, embarrassing and downright maddening. My Father has stammered for 60 years, it is awful to see him struggle to say even the most basic of sentences. Please think before you do something like this!
