Farmer orders raunchy Rihanna to cover up
Pop star was caught acting 'innapropriately' in fields near Bangor as she filmed her new video
A GOD-FEARING Northern Irish farmer ordered raunchy pop star Rihanna to cover up after discovering her acting "inappropriately" in one of his fields while filming a pop video.
Alan Graham, a Democratic Unionist Party alderman, had given permission for a video shoot to take place in one of the grain fields at his farm in Bangor. But when he went to fetch his tractor and caught a glimpse of the nubile 23-year-old singer stripping down to a bikini top he took action, asking her to stop.
He later explained that he felt that her "state of undress" was "inappropriate". "I requested them to stop and they did," said Graham, who spoke to the Barbadian singer in person. "I had my conversation with Rihanna and I hope she understands where I'm coming from. We shook hands and parted company on good terms," he said.
Rihanna was filming the video for the song We Found Love, a collaboration with Scottish dance musician Calvin Harris, in Northern Ireland ahead of three sold-out shows in Belfast this weekend.
Earlier traffic had practically ground to a standstill on the A2 near Bangor as the pop singer strutted her stuff by the roadside. But the order to cease and desist came when they moved onto Graham's private land.
The farmer, who had helped the film crew ferry equipment around the area, said that he had agreed to let them on his farm but admitted he had not heard of Rihanna. "I'm a bit long in the tooth for that," he explained. "From my point of view, it was my land, I have an ethos and I felt it was inappropriate," he added. "I wish no ill will against Rihanna and her friends. Perhaps they could acquaint themselves with a greater God."
The encounter was even brought up at the Northern Irish Assembly where, as luck would have it, first minister and DUP leader Peter Robinson was briefing members about his recent trip to the US aimed at selling Northern Ireland to the entertainment industry.

He was ready enough to take the money for renting his field, though, wasn't he?
@geoff: i live on the west side of the pond. So when i got to the part in your aggrieved letter about "bouncers", i thought it was Gaelic for breasts. Especially with the dramatic pause. And when you wrote about how they were "in the lead"....well... Hey, come to think of it.....
What an image, of which I am now filled....with remorse that is.
Otherwise, I found your note to be entirely comforting, as I am now reassured that my ancestral homeland has rediscovered its soul, its sense of guilt and shame, and if all else fails, the efficacy of a good old-fashioned laying on of the hands. Amen indeed!
Re: Rihanna: I too found this totally inappropriate and offensive. Having heard that the so-called pop-star Rihanna was cavorting semi-naked in a field several miles away, I drove at high speed in order to witness this shameful event.
Under normal circumstances, I would have been totally outraged by such a shocking and immoral occurrence as this, but due to having to park some distance away, and because my binoculars were badly steamed due to my car heater not working, I only managed to get a very brief view of her bouncers - who were at that point leading her out of the field.
I am, nonetheless, shocked and horrified that this sort of thing can happen in Northern Ireland, and pray that, should this sort of thing occur in future, I am given divine guidance, or possibly a mobile phone message, in order that I may arrive in a more timely manner and perform a laying on of hands to put Rihanna back on the path of righteousness.
Amen
