I would love to gather up all of the plastic people on TV and in the public eye and transport them to a desert island where some sort of mythological creature from the tales of homer would come and devour them one by one until they had all suffered a similar pain to what I have to suffer every time I glance the newspaper rack in a shop.
I mean come on who gives a flying fuck about them?
Seriously... I understand nosy Marge from across the road gossiping about tom and his unusual fetish that occurs at midnight in his garden or the squabble discussing who's baby they think it is and picking the possible dad out of a line up. It's natural to be curious about the people you know as they have an impact on you.
You live near them! You drink from the same watering hole and have to shit in the same pot as them! You are a community... but why do we insist on placing these ridiculous Barbie and Ken dolls up onto a platform of glory and wait for them to fall off. If we are that blood thirsty to watch people suffer could we not just throw them to the lions and be done with it?
No, instead we worship them for a set amount of time, then we pick at them, bully them until they make a fault and then crucify them... after a while we may forgive them and let them have another chance to please us. I mean do we seriously get a kick from it? Pretending we are a king or queen of old and these people are our personal jesters?
Instead of the people who really affect us like politicians and journalists, we build up these dancing clowns, pay them stupid amounts of money and reward them for being assholes.
Who's amazing idea was it to hire Russell brand? I could do that for half the money they pay him, walk around like a complete twat, piss on everyone I meet and spread the seed of sexual infection amongst the masses. Coleen Rooney is another one, she marries a gorilla and we award her with a column and show. In the old days she would have been arrested for beastiality, but instead we chuck thousands of pounds at her and then still think it's okay to turn around and say... We need more money in the health care... why is petrol so high? I can't afford this...
LETS STOP WASTING OUR MONEY
LETS STOP WASTING OUR TIME
LET THESE DANCING IDIOTS GO BACK TO THE ROCK THEY CAME FROM...
Entertainment does not need to be torturing someone...
We claim we are evolved and civilized... perhaps some time this millennium we might be able to show it.
