How is it that we forget so easily?
Back in 2004 he insulted the Taiwanese people as a nation of
"rude,vile pigs".
When a reporter confronted him and asked him why he didn't get the heck out,
he was quoted spewing
"We'd love to get out of Taiwan if it's full of people like you. Pig! Pig!"
For this I refuse to go see Sir Racist Piglet Egoness himself in flesh neither have I stopped switching channels when his songs are played on air.
Not over his sexuality which has PAS youth up in arms.
He needn't get my dollar towards upkeeping his partner.

Elton John calls Taiwan cameramen 'rude, vile pigs'
agencies 23.09.2004
Sir Elton John warmed up his vocal chords for a Taiwan concert Thursday by calling photographers a bunch of "rude, vile pigs."
The media ambushed the rock star after he arrived by private plane Thursday shortly after midnight at Taipei.
John was angry that police allegedly did not properly restrain the pack and protect him "from the ensuing chaos," a statement issued by the singer said.
ETTV cable news showed footage of John, dressed in a royal blue track suit and matching sunglasses, berating the photographers and TV crews as he cleared immigration.
The fuming star was also shown clenching his teeth and muttering expletives as he stood with his arms crossed tightly across his chest.
"Rude vile pigs," shouted John, who was to perform in Taipei. "Do you know what that means? Rude vile pigs. That's what all of you are."
One of the photographers shouted back, "Why don't you get out of Taiwan?"
John answered, "We'd love to get out of Taiwan if it's full of people like you. Pig! Pig!"
The star, who recently performed in Shanghai and Hong Kong, said, "We had a great tour of the Far East and then we come to Taiwan."
John's statement said, "Despite this frightening arrival, his spirits remain high and he is looking forward to performing the concert."
