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....
