CGiii Comment

He was an egotistical, hideous, woman-hating homo - and, unfortunately, Shaw is just too damn likeable.

This is a watered-down version of his life - he did have a penchant for bum-f&*king little black boys - now, that's not in the official biography.

If you're going to tell his story...tell his story!
