OF BEDPANS AND BUILDING BRICKS…

// March 30th, 2010 // No Comments » // humour

So, as a proud supporter of the Russian Ballet and someone who lives in a city which is now home to the world’s largest bedpan, I thought I’d share the latest great ad for the FIFA World Cup…. (dear god, I hope this wasn’t taken in Cape Town )

As one of the underwhelmed minority, I probably stand to be assassinated for not caring that the World Cup FIFA marketing machine has come to Suck South Africa dry in 2 months time, leaving her drained of blood after 3 weeks like the tragicomic virgin in a vampire satire.

I find it puerile and distasteful the way some people are taking to soccer as though by faking enthusiasm, they too will magically be bathed in the light of the ‘money rainbow’ which will instantly sweep the nation when Johny England with wife and two snot-nosed brats hits the shore.

Newsflash okes: the only people who are going to be making money off the cup are rich already!

How I resisted the urge to dig a hole in my back yard and build myself a concrete bunker in which to hide with my PC for that month, is anyone’s guess. Now that the dreaded thing draws even closer, I’ll NEVER get the planning permission in time…

What with extreme insanity in my life right now, I’m finding it fucking hard to smile – I’m seeing a pattern with my posting. When I find something funny enough to pull me out of a really bad space, I have to share it, so here it is….some real and very earnestly expressed concerns from future World Cup 2010 visitors to our wonderful country.
