The Anti-Social Dog... what a bitch.

I have always wondered what happens to socially inept dogs. What if they don't possess the power of smell, and as such don't bother with the common "ass sniff" as is customary when greeting your fellow bitches? What if they choose to shun the "let's pee on everything we see" policy that has ruled over the canine nation since time immemorial...?

In reality, nothing.... they get along fine.

In Lala Land (Britain) the answer is the ASBO (the anti social bitch order) which the British Government is proposing to bring into effect very very soon. All in all a stupid waste of time and legislation, because as anyone who cares to walk the streets of Britannia (that includes the morbidly obese who take mental walks to the shops from the couch) will testify that ASBOs are working.... to bring the concept of law and order to its knees.

ASBOs are about as effective as using olive oil as suntan lotion on your privates whilst on holiday in a nudist colony in the Sahara Desert.... blistering will occur. In the gangsta streets of London ASBOs have become like badges to the Scouts - picture "da yoof" meeting under street lights discussing whether one for a Noise Offence is equal in measure to one for Graffiti....

All that ASBOs need now to become ingrained in modern culture is some form of company sponsorship.... ASDA maybe...?

Never Mind The Jonas'

Every week I receive an IT trade magazine at work (which is ironic seeing as I don't even work in the IT business....) and in it the publishers try to promote their wares. This magazine contains a lot of computer game promotion and one of the ones that I stumbled across and raced past was for a group called the "Jonas Brothers"..... oh brother....

Is it all just a big joke? Are we all just players in this game that is rigged and produced for television called "Life"? Everywhere I look there are "natural" acts such as these curly-haired celibate freaks... they are not freakish because of the celibacy, but the supreme look of self satisfaction that adorns their make up air brushed pasted faces and their "natural" curled super conditioned locks... It is not possible to look at them and think that this is a good thing. They are clearly money making puppets of the descendants of Walt...

It would be unfair to state that they are the only ones, but the rest of the players in the "game" are too numerous to mention. What worries me is whether or not the general public see acts like them and thinks, "Oh wow, that sounds fantastically bland, but I am choosing to buy into everything that they sell, say and do in the full knowledge that it is completely fake and produced." And in doing so they buy into the slow sinking ship that is quality and integrity....

Or maybe I am getting old and just don't get the music/game/television/brainwashing industry....
