Granted it's a strongly worded title for a piece but I feel it deserves it. Especially, since I got quite angry reading the following article:
Why we need more nannying
Yes Dr Alan Maryon-Davis, President of the UK Faculty of Public Health, seems to think that people are too stupid to make their own decisions and think that the government should be telling us all what to do and, no doubt, think as well.
According to this man the public want the government to tell them what to do. Which is odd. As I don't know anyone who backs this kind of propaganda the government like to put out. Instead of focusing on real problems like the recession and growing unemployment. I'd like to say more on the governments useless approach to unemployment but I feel it's a long rant for another post.
He claims, "I see an increasing acceptance that we, all of us, need not only more information and guidance from government, but also more legislation to save us from ourselves."
Save us from ourselves indeed. Well thank Christ you and your group of know it alls are here to tell us what to do. Otherwise, we might live our lives as we choose to rather than being bullied by cretins like you.
Mind you, he works for the same that praised the recent piece of patronising government propaganda know as "Change 4 Life". Wow, using a 4 instead of "for". They must be so cool. You've seen the rancid adverts no dobut. The ones featuring plasticine men going on about how we "love the little blighters". Seriously. This is the language that the government will feel that will work on the common man. Only, this is what happens when middle-class governmental types think the working class talk like. The kind of tossers that make far too much money and live in a bubble protecting them from the real world. The most amusing thing about them is how the official Department of Health posting of the video has comments disabled. DO NOT QUESTION YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!
"This is not 'nannying'. This is responsible government acting on behalf of a consenting public."
No, 'nannying' is exactly what this is. So leave people alone to do as they please and fuck off while your doing it.

Bad Science
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7808348.stm
I can't make my mind up with this article.
On the one hand, should this really be a news item. It really should be common knowledge to people or at least people with half a brain. You know, people who are willing to actually go out and learn more about things rather than simply accept the shit that is shoveled down their throats by the media. So I want to recommend everyone read "Bad Science" by Be Goldacre. It's a bloody good book and you'll learn something to boot.
On the other hand, it's a damn good thing because those who do believe in such rubbish can now learn the truth. That it's all a load of bollocks. So good on you "Sense About Science". Now we just need the ASA to pull their fingers out regarding "detoxing" products.
On a slightly similar note, I assume you've seen these awful, patronising Change 4 Life adverts. It's crappy propaganda from the government telling you what a shitty person you are. It tells you how you live a comfy life riding in comfy buses, what the fuck?, and watching you kids rot away playing video games, while you chow down on an industrial vat of buttered popcorn and munch a hotdog. Fuck you people. If you think this advert is "cool" and "makes a point" then fuck off and die. You are a worthless piece of shit and you would be doing everyone who has a brain a favour by dying, right fucking now. Fuck you people. Want to help, try sorting out the global economic crisis. Fuckwits.

Is this one of the signs of the apocalypse?
On a more serious note, I'm quite glad God and The Queen didn't manage to bag the number one spot. I am, however, not sure of how I feel about Simon Cowell coming top. X-Factor is obviously big with ten year olds. So what does that say about me?

Epic Fail~!
http://www.nme.com/news/the-killers/41368
After 17 years of bullshit from Axl Rose the new Guns N' Roses album was released last year. Now, personally, I had no hope for this album. I had lost all interest in the album and in Guns N' Roses in general. Largely due to the amount of dickish behaviour from Axl himself. Plus, what I had heard of the album sucked. So I have no intrest in purchasing or hearing the rest of this album. However, I still thought that album would sell by the bucket load. Instead, the album has been beaten to the number one slot in the album charts by The Killers new album "Day & Age".
How I laughed.
Like the title says, Epic Fail Axl.

Woolworths
OK, let's get the serious stuff out of the way first. Yes, it's terrible that 30,000 people's jobs are under threat because of this, I understand. It's a hell of time to be worried about your job.
However, I cannot for the life of me see why the British public are weeping over the demise of the Woolworths brand. As far as I can recall Woolworths has been nothing more than a huge, over-priced mess of a chain. Selling cheap goods at excessive prices and offering consumers nothing that they can't get elsewhere for cheaper. Woolworths will probably be most remembered by people for it's "pick 'n' mix" which was the most over-priced item in the store.
Besides, to become nostalgic about a chain store is ludicrous in itself. Seriously people, this isn't some local store that has been in the community for years where you know the people who own it. It's a massive entity. Where are the people bemoaning the poor fortunes of MFI, Currys, PC World and B&Q? That's right, there aren't any and why should there be?
According to Tony Parson's ridiculous column in The Mirror today he claims that Woolworths "has been a cornerstone of working class life in this country". Pardon Me? I happen to be working class and Woolworths has never been a cornerstone of my life or anyone else I know. Like Tony Parsons (best selling author and GQ columnist) has been working class in some time.
His column becomes much worse as he starts banging on about how people were "poor but happy". Again, I doubt Mr. Parsons has been "poor" for some time. I would also like to point out there is nothing happy about being poor. Try it Tony, you might despise it. You'll also despise idiots like yourself who seemingly talk out of their backsides about poor but happy Englanders.
In short, don't cry for Woolworths it's a disposable brand name that will be replaced and forgotten by an entire generation soon enough. Oh, and avoid Tony Parsons ramblings. The man's a fucking moron.

Sinitta
There's a title I never thought I would have.
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/xfactor/a137054/sinitta-daniel-evans-couldnt-sing.html
Yes, I do watch X-Factor. I'm sure people will get over it. However, what bothers me about this story is the fact this man, who could actually sing, is being insulted by Sinitta. How can Sinitta possibly be any kind of authority on talent I simply don't know. This is a woman who's claim to fame is the song "So Macho". Seriously, what the fuck is this song and video all about? This woman is used by Simon Cowell as a judge of talent on his show. Is he fucking insane. Cowell may not know shit about decent music but he does know how to make money. Sinitta falls into neither of these categories. However, people will take this useless, 80's has been at her word because our culture has disintergrated into this braindead mass of morons who are obsessed with celebrities. Which is why shows like X-Factor exist.
This has, once again, descended into a rant about the state of the nation. Well good. I think society is rotten so I'm going to have my say about it. So there.

For Fuck's Sake Dearie
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7748164.stm
Seriously, is there any real need for this, yet another example, of insane political correctness? Do will live in a world where everyone needs to be wrapped in padding so they can't be hurt if anybody says something that isn't considered "socially acceptable"? It won't be long before we all simply homogenised clones wandering around the place with no opinions of our own, eating only health food and having our brains rotted by the endless parade of shit-awful "reality" shows that plague our television like cancer for the eyes.
Granted, most of the above rant has nothing to do with this story itself. It just happens that it kind of touches a nerve. That being the horrific thought that people will simply roll over and accept any old shit the government decides to shovel their way because they'll tell them they are safe. You will pay us to have an intrusive, privacy invading ID so we can track you at all times. Fight terrorism my arse. As long as the government can keep it's people in a constant state of fear, and thus control it, it doesn't give a flying fuck if you're bombed to pieces.
This really has become quite the rant and may well only make sense to me but fuck it. This is my blog and opinion. If you don't like it, fuck off.
