And the award goes to.
So another day another dollar, or in the correct parlance, another pound. So what could get to me today you wonder! Well I tell you, it's this countries appetite for celebrity stories. Why O why do I give a crap if a certain footballer ( I understand an injunction is still in place) sleeps with some bit of nonsense off of a shitty channel four poop hole of a program. I know this comes kind of late in the day for such a rant but still it is shocking. What is so special about these people that they should be hounded? Where does 'in the public interest' come in? Yes the 'public' maybe interested but is this information important? Is it really in the interest of the public? Is this information for the public good? What difference does It make to my life if a kicker of inflated pigs bladders goes sleeping around? I would more like to kick his inflated ego until it's a bloody pulp!
I'm not saying that I agree with so called super injunctions, not if they get in the way of of something that the public has a right to know. Something like a corruption case involving public officials or public funds but if these injunctions protect a private citizen's rights to a bit of peace and quiet while they try to sort things out then that is a worthy purpose surely. How would you feel if the local rag reported on how many number twos you do in one day. (2)
In the case of this well published case of the urine bag kicker and a Miss something or other it is reported that the injunction was taken out to avoid blackmail. If that was the case why not file a charge of blackmail? The case would not have been allowed to be reported on and the press would have still been gagged but following a correct and fair procedure.
The real reason behind this recent farce is the publics unending need to know all the ins and outs of any semi-famous persons ins and outs. In the case of the footballer it is not as if he choose the limelight, football is what he is good at, it is not his fault that football happens to be the nations favourite sport, even though we are pretty bad at it. If I am good at accountancy ( which I am not) would it be my fault to enter that profession? All I am saying that being a celebrity because of being good at something is not the same as being a celebrity for being a celebrity i.e Jordan or someone else of that ilk. These people need the investigation into their private life in much the same way as I require food to live, without it they will die the torrid death of the forgotten and their natural home is inside the pages of tabloids, the home of the terrible, dull, unintelligent and needy.
So just remember that footballers are footballers and accounts are accounts. They are not role models they do not choose to be stared at and interrogated by plebs who feel they have a right to judge, they just do what they do. If you really are interested in the lives of the famous then read tabloids and read the stories placed by the managers of the 'celebrity celebrity' let them have the limelight they crave and keep all this kind of chatter out of my view.
THAT IS All.
