A short blog today due to a massive bout of sloth. I can't be arsed if I'm honest.
I had just written an overlong one about why PC World are not c**s. It described my day working from home, how I am more committed than before, how little I watch Escape to The Country and flounce around doing Bikram. Instead I'm grafting these days and better for it. But I deleted it.
I had written about how PC World bent over backwards to sort out my Laptop today after making an error last week. They are no longer c**s. I love PC World. They were terrified of me and couldn't do enough to help. I swear the assistant manager was close to offering me a hand-job. A remarkable reversal from last week. But I deleted it.
Instead I can't believe Rolf Harris is a nonce. He was convicted of 12 counts of indecent assault on women and girls from the age of 8 upwards between 1968-1985. Many more are coming forward.
What the fuck is going on? What us happening to all the 70's TV super nonces. It's like your entire childhood and value system are fucked. Everything you thought is real, is not real. It is the opposite. A Family, kids entertainer is actually a sexual predator. Weird.
I can't get too irate about it though. Why? Because I'm jaded. I'm jaded by all the news. It doesn't directly harm me or affect me so how can I get too uptight? It's yet another tale after Saville, Hall and all the others on Operation Yewtree. A conveyor belt of lying cheating faces that built a career on dishonest fame separate to their true personalities. The real crime is that we all and the media bought it for so long.
It reinforces the whole bullshit culture of celebrity and fame. TV personalities/comedians/entertainers/people in the public eye. They become famous, getting an 'image' or 'brand' only to believe their own self importance and behave as they want no matter how bad/good.
What pisses me off is the horrified reaction from the media, even rent-a-social-commentator whilst pushing his own Russell Brand came out (not in a Gay way) in The Independent and wrote about it. It's all bullshit. It's the whole ego fame game and anyone who is in it is playing it. It's their job and how they get paid. Even Brand. He's selling something. Papers, news channels, TV shows. It's all part of the charade. Whenever money is involved it's bullshit and it's our job to see through it.
Why else did Saville remain at large for so long, despite countless warnings from public, people, organisations etc. Jerry Sadowitz did a show about him being a Paedophile in 1987 for Christ sakes. Because of money and power. He paid Police funds, hospitals, charities in a way to buy himself power and freedom. Simple.
The truth becomes irrelevant in modern culture. The force of personality more so. It becomes the key. Our failure is to believe it. Go and read Viz from 1990 and read Roger Mellie, the man from the tellie. That pretty much sums up Operation Yewtree. It's not rocket science.
Why on earth are people that shocked. Surely we all know that people have private personalities and public ones right? And rarely to they match up. It's just I guess if you access to more power, money, fame, media you have more opportunity to indulge in whatever turns you on, no matter how twisted.
I'm annoyed with them of course, but more with the way that celebrity, TV and personality has evolved over the years. They take responsibility but the charade we have become has made them and now we will see the moral outrage from the press, the very people who are probably morally bankrupt anyway. Insane. A double clusterfuck.
It's all insane and I'm wondering what the fuck is going on. Where are we going? What happened to our little wold. It troubles me.
On a personal note I cant say I have moved towards an Inside Job today. Self Improvement has been stalled. Instead I've focused more on eating Liver sausage, Tuna and Mary Berry's Caesar dressing. My new addictions. I've done a bit of work, fallen in love with PC world, watched some World Cup and written a blog I had no idea I was going to write when I began.
Funny how things turn out when you start talking/writing isn't it?
