SON OF A B****!!! PIECE OF S*** OF JOB!!! I QUIT!!! F***ING I DON´T KNOW!!!
Seriously... this is gonna be like... my last post in a very, very long time folks. Part of the reason is because after ending my my fourth semester I'm tired of writing this thing. It's pretty pointless considering that I've already passed my last level of english and I don't have any ideas to write about.
I want to dedicate my time to other stuff, and prove something else. I want to be a script writer and compose music, and I want to dedicate more time to those things instead of trying to come up with topics that nobody cares about.
It's a thing of personal tastes and priorities. I really feel that I complete a cicle with this blog but I can't dedicate my whole life to it. Nothing personal. I had good times though. Some of the stuff I wrote in this blog was so much fun and even helped me to express myself a little bit. Even though I felt really disapointed with Doug Walker and their new style, I could overcome thanks to this blog, so, this is gonna be like... goodbye to the blog, good bye to the good old times and hello to a new chapter in my life and stuff...
Enjoy this video and remember... never say never (unless you're forced to watch that god awful Justin Bieber movie)
Oh, well... sorry for the long time without post anything... it's just I've been really, really busy and I've lost all the inspiration to write. This is just a short messasge to indicate that I'm still alive. Maybe the next time I can come up with something huge to compensate.
Now that I
have time, the inspiration and after revisiting the first season of this show,
I decided to give me a chance to talk about it in a deeper and complex way.
With a group of genius like these: What could possibly go wrong? I'm talking about the actors, not the characters who screwed up so many times... especially Pete..
For those
who don’t know, Mad Men is a Period Drama that takes place in the 60’s in the
same fashion of shows like The Wonder Years or Happy Days. It’s about a very successful
advertising agency called Sterling Cooper located in New York City founded by
Roger Sterling Sr. (deceased), who had a son who is the actual partner (played
by John Slattery) and Bert Cooper (played by Robert Morse).
It focus in
the creative director called Donald “Don” Draper (played by Jon Hamm), who is smart,
creative and downright arrogant and manipulative but it has a dark twisted past
that is slowly revealed as we watch every episode.
Intro of the show, a perfect methafor of a man falling under a self-created world of lies until the point that he doesn't care about it anymore...
The pilot
episode (Smoke Gets in Your Eyes) is set in March 1960 and it’s about an
article of the Reader’s Digest Magazine that reveals the dangers of Smoking,
who became a problem for advertising agencies due the fact that they can’t sell
cigarettes and therefore, could cost the account with Luck Strike and loose
money.
Meanwhile,
a young woman called Margaret “Peggy” Olson (played by Elisabeth Moss) begins
their new career as the secretary of Don, and it’s introduced in the
advertising agency world by the office manager of Sterling Cooper: Joan
Holloway (played by Christina Hendricks) who is the stereotypical hot secretary
who is very self aware about her figure and uses it as an advantage. She is
like the antithesis of Peggy in some ways.
The third
plot in Smoke Gets in Your Eyes is about another advertising executive called
Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser) who is a young, arrogant
Draper-wannabe that is going to get married very soon with a woman named Trudy
(who doesn’t appear here), but when he met Peggy has a little crush on her and
despite make a snarky remark about her clothing, he gets somehow to have an
affair with her in the last third of the episode.
Draper,
being the enigmatic genius that he is, comes with a brilliant idea: instead of
selling the cigarettes under a “death wish” statement, suggested by a company researcher,
he comes with the slogan: “It’s Toasted” referencing the way they make it
because if they can’t say that smoking is healthy, neither can their competitors,
which leaves to use that phrase as a statement that while all the tobacco
companies produce poison, Lucky Strike is something different.
Lucky Strike, It's Toasted... any questions?
Now,
despite that the idea it’s brilliant and the execution it’s really well done,
the whole “It’s Toasted” thing pre-dates the 60’s, and for a show who is
critically acclaimed for his historical accuracy it’s a really weird
anachronism, and no, it’s not a mistake from Matthew Weiner, the creator and
writer of the pilot; the script was written in the 2000’s so this is completely
intentional.
But with
that said, the show is really well put together in terms of visual style,
writing, acting and directing. Jon Hamm as Draper is very cynical and eerie in
his performance, leading us to think who this man is and what makes him so
special.
The Answers
fall like pieces of a puzzle during the first run of the show, in scenes that
that, at first, seems so insignificant that you can easily overlook the first
time. Like in the third episode (Marriage of Figaro) where Don is traveling on
a train and a veteran from the war of Korea (in which Don is a veteran as well)
recognizes him as Dick Whitman who is the real name of Don, but at this point
we don’t know any of that we just simply assume that the guy just made a
mistake.
Another
important story arc in this season is the Nixon vs. Kennedy Campaign where
Sterling Cooper roots for Nixon due the fact that Bert Cooper itself is a
republican. The problems appeared when they realized that Nixon doesn’t have
the young appeal and charm of Kennedy, which happens to be the winner at the
end of the season against all the odds.
Of course,
because it’s a character-driven show, the focus on historical event take a backseat
in favor of the personal issues of the Sterling Cooper agency as well the
personal lives of these people. We know what´s the deal with Don, but if we
talk about character evolution during this particular season, Peggy is the one
who gets the cake. Starting as Don Draper’s shy secretary, she was smart enough
to get the attention of the men not because her body but her ideas and
conviction that made her stand over the rest of all the group of females.
In the sixth
episode (Babylon) they made a research of lipstick product using the secretaries
of SC as subject tests. Peggy was the only one who looked for a particular
lipstick and when the meeting it’s over she comes with the phrase “Basket of
kisses” that brought the attention of one of the ad men, Freddie Rumsen (Joel
Murray) who was working on the Belle Jolie lipstick campaign and ask her to
write a copy of the account, which turned out to be successful.
But because
not all the things can turn out to be okay, we had drama at the end of the
season when Peggy discovers that she’s is pretend for having the affair with Campbell
who, at this point, lost all interest on her.
And
speaking of which, we also got Pete Campbell as our Joffey-type of character in
this show. His arrogant, selfish and unwarranted self-important attitude makes
him one of the most obnoxious jerks in the history of television. But because
Mad Men is a show that doesn’t make distinctions in the morality of his
characters, we also have a little bit of insight of Pete’s life.
Campbell
belongs to one of the most important families that practically built up NYC
with their money: The Dykemans. And because pee always got what he wanted, he
never got the chance to became a self-made man like Draper and now that he’s
married with his wife Trudy (played by Alison Brie), the daughter of one of the
clients of SC, his life is under control of everyone, which it makes him feel
insignificant.
And at
last, but not least, we have Don Draper’s wife Betty Draper (played by January
Jones) who seems to be the most self repressed character in the show , living
under the shadow of a man who barely knows, trapped into a life of housewife
who can’t do anything that let her express her talents, like in the ninth
episode (Shoot) where it’s revealed that she used to be a model and almost gets
hired by an ad agency called McCann Erickson who rivalries with SC and they
wanted to have Draper working for them as well. But Don, being loyal to SC
rejects the opportunity and the rival agency fires Betty because she was just
the bait for Don.
But in the
end, the Draper arc it’s the one who gets the better progress, when we met Don
Draper’s Brother in 5G, a man called Adam Whitman that all he wanted was to
reunite with his older brother and the only familiar who still lives, but
Draper rejects him because he’s running from his past, which it makes Adam kill
himself because he lost the only thing that cares for him: his family.
The things
get darker when we discover that Dick Whitman was the son of a prostitute that
got pregnant by Dick’s father and was raised by him and her wife, that bit sort
of remind me the Jon Snow Story Arc in Game of Thrones, but the difference
between Jon Snow and Don Draper is that Don is a man who made himself with lies
and frauds to reach all his goals, and Jon is a man who made himself being
truth to himself and suffer a lot of torments for it.
But the
inflexion point is in the twelfth episode (Nixon vs. Kennedy) where it’s
revealed the origin of the name Don Draper, who was a Lieutenant that was
killed in an explosion in a Trent when he was covering Dick Whitman. He took
the chance and changes their name tags, which it makes Dick guilty not only for
desertion but phishing as well. It’s similar to the Simpsons episode “The Principal
and the Pauper”, the premise of a man who stole the other man’s identity during
a war. And then people say that episode was bad.
The deeper
we explore this world, the more dirtier things we found about these characters,
who live in a world where social standards are slowly changing but they have
problems with their own personal lives that affects the other ones around them,
and that’s because the world of Mad Men it’s like a big machine full of grinds
that works in just one way, but when of them presents some malfunctioning, it affects
everyone else.
Despite the
pacing of the show, which it’s kinda slow at times, it’s still very fun to watch,
very appealing with his visuals, very carefully written with its characters and
storylines, resulting in a perfect hell of a show that it just got better and
better, and it’s going to be sad when we get to the finale this next year, but
the legacy of this show will always live forever.
Okay, I'm not gonna lie... I have no inspiration to write something whatsoever, But don't worry because next time I promise to you that I'm gonna make something special for this month of October. And if you already guessed I'ts something related to Mad Men.
So, for now... watch this trailer and see you next time folks:
Okay, first
of all, If you don’t have any idea who is the Angry Video Game Nerd, you should
avoid Reading this because if you don’t you won’t probably get it. But if you
want to read it anyway let me give you a brief summary:
But first: here's the trailer of the movie:
The Angry
Video Game Nerd is an Internet comedy-review show starring James Rolfe. It’s
about a thirty-something guy who spends most of his time playing videogames of
the 80’s and 90’s (a retro-reviewer if you prefer) and makes fun of the games
pointing out his flaws such as bad programming, dreadful graphics, horrible
controls, unfairly challenging levels and overall concepts who makes him mad to
the point of swearing like a sailor.
It’s pretty
juvenile (features a lot of toilet humor, cursing and violence) but the guy it’s
so fun to listen and watch in his performance that you forget (and even forgive)
all that. It’s similar to what happen to South Park, people find the comedy
lowbrow and childish, but also features a lot of substance in their scripts you
don’t mind everything else.
And if you
read my other posts you’ve already familiarized with the Nostalgia Critic, who
is kind of like the nemesis of the Nerd, but only in a fictional way because in
real life Doug and James are very good friends. Both are very respected and influential
retro-reviewers (or at least they were) in the mid 2000’s and even if it seems the
end of the road for both of them in terms of fame and quality (the last bit it’s
more applicable for Doug) they still managed to make people laugh and leave
their marks on internet history.
But enough
exposition and lets jump into the topic for today: The Angry Video Game Nerd
Movie. That’s right, this guy made a movie about his internet review show and
it’s a real movie, not just an amateur experiment made by some random college
students, it’s an actual movie.
It took
around three years to been made and it was financed with fan-donations, proving
that the internet It’s the ultimate entrepreneur producer and let anyone with a
visionary plan of business accomplished those dreams. But we’re not here to
praise capitalism and globalization like a bunch of geeks; we’re here to talk
about if those dreams actually pay off nicely. So let’s take a look.
Good or not you got to give them credit for trying to give this low budget-independent film a professional look... I mean, the poster man THE POSTER
The film
stars with some exposition about the infamous ET: the videogame (named Eee Tee
in the movie) for the ATARI 2600. Then we cut to a company called “Cockburn
Industries” (I know, really mature), one of the executives, called Mandi (played
by Sarah Glendening) suggest to release an intentionally bad sequel of the game
to gain some profit due the cult following that the game has.
Meanwhile,
our main Character the Angry Video Game Nerd (played by Rolfe) feels
disenchanted with his life due the fact that he works on a game store called
GameCops promoting crappy games and feeling that all the anger for make his
review show was for nothing because his fans actually play those games that he
was trying to prevent instead of avoid them (Streisand Effect anyone?)
But when he
learns about the Cockburn Industries plan of releasing a sequel of ET, which
happens to be the most requested game of his fans, he enters on denial and try
to avoid reviewing it because it was “physically hurtful experience” play it as
a kid (and yet he can play Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on the NES), he wants to
stay away from the phenomenon as far as possible.
The
assistant, manager and personal friend of the Nerd, Cooper Folly (played by
Jeremy Suarez) encourages him to take the request and tries to convince him
that is a golden opportunity and also because he has a reputation to keep, but
the Nerd doesn’t care about that and just want to avoid the idea.
However,
after reflecting a little bit about it, he decides to take a chance and make
the review. But not only that, he also wants to find the 1 million copies of
the game that, according to the myth, are buried in the dessert of Alamogordo
New Mexico, near from the Area 51. The Nerd tells Cooper that if they actually
find the copies, he is going to play every copy because… he’s the FUCKING Nerd,
that’s why.
Mandi, who
knows the Nerd for his internet fame, approach to meet him and offer he and
Cooper a deal of promoting the sequel of ET for financial help to accomplish
the mission.
Now in the
dessert our heroes are threatened by the militaries of the Area 51, who
apparently protect the ground where the copies are buried. The general Dark
Onward (played by Stephen Mendel) and the female Sergeant McButter (played by
Helena Barrett) capture them under the belief that they’re terrorists trying to
make contact with aliens, but the Nerd and his friends manage to escape and the
general blow up his arm trying to throw a grenade.
On the
road, the trio decides to look up for the creator and designer of the game itself
Howard Scott Warshaw. Luckily for them, a worker from the Area 51, Dr. Zandor (played
by Time Winters) worked with Howard in the design of the game and,
coincidentally, lived in an abandoned house in New Mexico.
Even if he
tried to kill them first for trespass his property, he not only let them enter
to his house (after testing them with a video game challenge IRL) but also he
told them the secret behind ET the game.
It turns
out that the Dr. Zandor gave Howard a map to make a replica of the Area 51 and
disguise it as a horrible game in order to not only help him to complete the
time deadline (Atari gave him only 5 weeks to complete it), but also to get
revenge on the military for capturing and locking up an alien with his
spaceship that the Dr. tried to free.
Mandi, who
happens to be a double agent for Cockburn industries sneaks out of the house to
try to get a phone call from her boss and it’s captured by McButter, but she
fools them and leading them to Las Vegas in order to keep them away from the
Nerd and Cooper while they’re facing a long crowd of fans that wanted to
promote the new ET game and also want to see their hero playing the infamous
Atari game.
The things got
worse when the Nerd tried to convince his fans that they’re no copies buried
under the dessert but Howard Scott Marshaw himself appears and prove him wrong.
The Nerd
finally decides to go to Area 51 disguised as an Alien in order to sneak in and
find the alien (not a very good idea if you think about it) and gets captured
by Onward and he forces him to play ET as a form of torture. Oh, and also launch
a missile to the Mount Fuji in Japan that wake up a robot-like creature that
goes to America and destroy all the places where our main characters are. Well,
there are coincidences and then there’s… this movie.
Beautiful isn't it? and no... it's not a coincidence that it looks pretty similar to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles puppets... the guy who played Michelangelo in the saga from the 90's play this character.
But Cooper,
who is hiding in the wagon of Cockburn Industries, releases the Alien captured
in the Area 51 by playing the game (yea, I don’t know how that works either)
and when the General leaves the room (mutilating his remaining arm with the
automatic doors), the Aliens comes out and free the Nerd.
Then, both
escape from the base and after a really cheesy but kind of amusing fight with
robots, the Nerd and the alien steal a plane from the government and fly out of
the place.
The general
learns that the metal from the alien’s spaceship was replaced with tin foil by
the Dr. Zandor, who hide the rests in the copies of the ET game (how the flying
fuck did not analyze it and check it out if it was real in all those years?)
Meanwhile,
the Nerd, after recreate one of his most famous routines (trying to land the
plane like in the game Top Gun) both him and the Alien got into the Area 51.
Mandi, who
was captured by McButter in the Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas manage to confront
and defeats the Sergeant in a catfight (who, unfortunately and for comedic
effect has too little screen time) until the Robot (called Death Mwauthzyx) and
captures her along with Cooper and takes them to Area 51 where the general gets
killed when he tried to confront the monster.
The Alien
finally is able to rebuild his spaceship with every cartridge of the ET game (including
the ones who are spread through the entire planet who led to several cameos),
and manage to confront the robot alien and defeat him shooting a laser on the
satellite on the top of his head, which it makes him to disappear him instead
of something cool like an explosion or something (it is just me or did I sound
like Michael Bay with that last sentence?)
And finally
after defeat all the bad guys and stuff the Nerd finally take the request and
review both ET games while the credits rolling.
And that
was the Angry Video Game Nerd. It is a great movie? Mmmm not really, it has
some flaws in the script and some jokes fall flat because they lack of good pay
off, like they got good set ups but the punch lines weren’t strong enough. And
also some of the acting wasn’t very convincing either, particularly Mandi and
Cooper who weren’t very memorable in their roles.
Now the
good stuff: the story is really creative and very complex with the whole ET
conspiracy, yes it could it been better if some of the inconsistencies were
worked a little bit more but, for what it is, is a pretty decent plot. And also
liked the fact that the Nerd and Mandy weren’t get together at the end of the
film, even when the trailers fool us to believe that in the first place, so
that was a clever move.
Overall, it’s
an okay film. If you’re a fan of The Angry Video Game Nerd like, you’re
probably goingo to find yourself entertained with the jokes and the story, but
if you’re an outsider know absolutely nothing about James and his foul mouthed character
better skip it because it’s not for all tastes, just see the trailer and you’re
going to figured out why.
And that’s
all for now, see you later and remember: Shitty games can teach us more than we
actually give them credit for. Don’t believe me? Ask to James Rolfe.
*Warning:
this is only for people who know who is The Nostalgia Critic, If you don’t know
who he is, the avoid reading this.
Oh, Doug, I
remembered the first time I saw you on YouTube like it if was yesterday. You
used to be one of the funniest mother*ckers I have seen in years. Your timing (Casper:
TIMING!), your deliverance, your jokes, even If they were 50/50 sometimes you’ve
still had that zany personality that made everything forgivable.
And now,
you became a sellout, a guy who just does what other people told you. I mean,
Nostalgia Critic was a character created with the one, single purpose of making
fun of the Nostalgia, and honestly, that’s the thing that I loved the most,
because It seemed (and still seems) that every time people talk about their
childhood memories, they can’t also spew some crap out their mouth and say that
everything from the past is better and there’s no future.
The dream of every outrage trash takling fanboy like me... at least when I was younger...
Doug
Walker, the man behind the Nostalgia Critic, for a long time (almost 4 years)
used to be my personal Jesus, my sacred holy grail of comedy and my inspiration
to make people laugh instead of depressed them with my awful and pessimistic
vision of the world. I still believe that mankind it’s a big pile of sh*t, but
at least I can laugh about it, I can see the world from a different point of
view and stop talking crap 90% of the time thanks to that.
But why
Doug became so fascinating to me in the first place? Because he was just a man,
a guy a camera who just got himself against the world expressing his opinion
and just doing what he thought it was funny, and manage to create a whole new
brand of internet reviewers that use their skills not only to gain their 5 minutes
of fame, but to inspire people to look at things with a whole new vision, stop
letting their Nostalgia get in the way.
But when he
decided to quit, I was devastated, I felt like one of the few things in this
world that meant so much to me disappeared and now I’ve got no direction
whatsoever. Everything fall apart that 2012, the same year I went to Law School
(fortunately I quit) and the NC, that was my only vacation during that time was
gone and from that moment it went just me and reality.
After
contemplate suicide several times and leave the Law School, I decide to go on,
forget TGWTG (because honestly, I’ve never give too much of a damn for the
other ones) and try to live my life, until he came back.
In
retrospective, I’ve got mixed feelings about his comeback and reinvention, for
one hand it feels so good and refreshing having the guy back in his chair and
his… new white wall, but in the middle of 2013 (of maybe a little bit before)
It started to change, it became more evident that he was doing all these new
things for money rather than personal satisfaction, he was sacrificing his
trademarked style in favor of zany antincs and lame pop culture references made
to attract the attention of a 13 year old brat.
His other
show Demo Reel Failed, but Doug doen’t want to assume that and instead, he is
insisting in sacrificing his dignity and create reviews with sketches that are
more pointless and awkward every time.
It’s really sad actually.
If you
still got respect for your old fanbase, you know, the ones who made you famous
in the first place, you should consider taking this job more seriously and try
to keep quality over quantity. I mean, your Son of the Mask review could it
been awesome if it weren’t for those god awful sketches with satan and his
daughter that… I don’t even want to talk about that, it is THAT stupid.
And all
this coming to age experience that I’m having now made me realize that maybe
Doug wasn’t that great to begin with. Sure it got his funny moments, memorable
jokes and overall proyects that make them unique (at least compared to other
reviewers), but he never evolved, he never tried to improve his routine and try
to prove in a more mainstram media like TV, Films or whatever, it seems like a
wasted opportunity and the only one that is responsible is Doug himself.
But you
know what? I don’t hate him, I mean, despite I hate some of his new Reviews (like
Disney Afternoon) I still got good memories with this guy, all the happiness
and joy that brought to my life was enough to keep me away to killing myself
and I’m always going to thank that to this guy.
But, I
still think that you sold your soul to the Devil in the moment that you started
to appeal to a younger crowd instead of evolve to a full comedian and internet
reviewer, but your story gave me an important lesson that I never going to
forget: No matter the circumstances, I will never going to sell my integrity like
you do, and with that said, I salute you Nostalgia Critic thaks for the good
times and I’ll always remember it even if you don’t have to.
You Know, I’m
going to admit it: I can’t stand Japanese animation for the most part. I don’t
know, it’s just not my thing okay? Because every time I’m trying to sit through
some anime, most of the time I need to pause it because the characters do
something too stupid and embarrassing to even look at it.
And don’t
get me wrong, I know that there are a lot of exceptions to this genre. People
like Hayao Miyasaki proved that Japanese animation can be unique, creative and
visually outstanding, but that is a very exceptional case, because for every decent
piece of art that is created in the land of the rising sun, other creations
tend to reuse from character designs, personalities, plotlines and jokes and
that makes you wonder how many time you can watch the same thing over and over
before you get sick of it.
But I
digress, what I’m talking about is a very specific genre, the kind of anime
that even the most hardcore fans of Japanese culture tend to consider terrible,
I’m referring to Ecchi Harem Anime, the most… I don’t even know how to describe
it because it’s so odd in the way it creates itself that you can’t really tell
the difference between what’s right or wrong or what the creators want.
And because
I don’t want to sound trashy but rather a nitpicking asshole, I’m going to
deconstruct an Anime that, in my opinion, sums it up everything that is right
and wrong about this. I'm talking of course about: To Love Ru (or trouble if you translate it)
I know there's something wrong with this picture, but I can't find out what it is... oh, I see, two of the girls are looking the other way round instead of focus on the main character... oh, silly me.
Now, I’m going to try to be the least negative and destructive
as possible and I’m just going to point out my theories about why this genre is
so successful between people despite the bad reputation.
The story
focuses on a 16 year old boy named Yuuki Rito, an average kid who is in love
with a girl from his school named Haruna Sairenji, a very shy and reserved
person who apparently corresponds his feelings as well, but because both of
them are so timid and socially awkward, they never got the chance to express
their mutual love. To this point, sounds like a really standard love story with
an overall cuteness and stuff. I, personally don’t feel especially attracted by
it, but at least I can understand the appeal.
But, the
things get weirder and weirder when an alien princess called Lala Satalin
Deviluke escapes from her planet to earth and magically teleport herself to the
bathroom of Yuuki (totally naked), just when he was taking a bathroom and coincidentally
raised his arms to touch her breasts. Yes, that is what happened, and trust me,
that thing is not the weirdest part.
The things
get even more complicated when we discover that touching her breasts was the
alien equivalent of asking for her hand, that’s right, Yuuki became the fiancée
of Lala for touching her knockers by accident, talking about plot conveniences.
And while the
story goes on we met other characters like: Yuuki’s sister who has some
feelings for him (awkwaaaaard), the space assassin girl who has no emotions and
got the mission to kill the main character, the control freak girl who sees
Rito as a pervert for some misunderstandings, the alien who can change his/her
gender by sneezing, Lala’s twin sisters and the medic, Rito’s best friend who
is jealous for his luck with women and the perverted director of the school
who, from some reason hasn’t been arrested for sexual harassment yet.
From all
the jokes in this show, the most overused is the one when the main character
accidentally (yes, accidentally) do something perverted to one of the girls (touch
her breasts, land on her panties or whatever) and eventually got beated the
crap out of him, which isn’t really funny but rather mean spirited and
repetitive.
Another
running gag is that Rito’s best friend of any other male character points out
how lucky he is for having so many women in love with him, who is
understandable but these guys act like there’s nothing more important to talk
about. It’s kinda sad.
And that’s
just a few summaries of characters that live in this surreal world when a 16
year old alien girl (Lala) is a professional engineer and inventor of many
things that are mostly plot devices, creepy old man can stalk all the girls
that they want it without learning any lesson and falling for the same over and
over, and where an average kid with no talents or personality can have a lot of
beautiful girls with colorful hairs and big boobies by himself.
Okay, sorry
for that part, but it’s just so mind blowing the fact that an idea this… weird
can be so successful. How this formula exactly works? It is because it’s animation?
Well, to be fair it’s a very cute, colorful and bright piece of work who is
very pleasant from a visual standpoint, but there’s a lot of other shows that
has this characteristic and aren’t that commercial. It is because how
sexualized everything is? Not really, a lot of other things can satisfy this
need for tits.
Well, I
think that, aside from how cute it looks and sounds or how formulaic the plot
is to the point you know what’s going to happen from the very beginning, shows
like these has a much more simple task to accomplish in order to be a hit. And surprisingly
it’s not the fan-service (term to refer the sexualization of the characters), I
mean, is one of the most important qualities of these kind of shows, but not
THE most important.
What I’m
talking about is the need of self importance in the viewer of the show. How? Well,
think about it, why the main character is so one dimensional and their way of
react to the situations around him is so repressed? Well, I think that the main
reason for this is because the main character is just a cardboard cutout for
the viewer. With most successful shows, fans usually tend to create a cult
around a character, quoting his lines, creating fanart about him, but heres the
thing: those characters are not a mirror for the viewership.
I mean,
sure there are a lot of people who literally fall in love with Breaking Bad
mostly because Walter White with his badass skills and overall personality, but
I don’t think those people want to get cancer, work in a lackluster job, being
persecuted by the DEA or being married with Skyler (God forbids you), they
admire the way he deals with this stuff but they don’t want to put themselves
in those situations.
Mmmm... let's see... being a guy in his forties suffering a midlife crisis and dying of lung cancer... or a 16 year old boy totally healty with a lot of girls who love him and want to make his dirtiest fantasies come true... let's get it on Heisenberg...
Here, is
the exact opposite, the more forgettable the main character is, the easier is
for the viewer to picture himself in that very fortunate and enviable position.
You don’t want to be LIKE Rito, you want to be Rito.
And the
fact that everybody else in this world exist with the one single purpose of
point out the advantage of the main character just reinforce this idea of
power. The feeling of have this fantasy all for you and everybody want to have
what you have. Even the Director of the school has an important role of remind
you how desirable the situation is. When you see somebody wishing for something
with so much passion, then you wanted as well and that’s why you look for an
interchangeable character to accomplish the dream.
And the
girls, of course have different personalities to accomplish every fetish as possible,
so the viewership can increase. Some people would prefer the shy girls, some
others the angry ones, some others the playful ones or the emotionless ones,
the clumsy ones the overly obsessed ones and so forth.
So, this is Harem Anime in a nutshell... any questions?
So, it is
bad to let fooling yourself by this formula? No, you can watch and follw
whatever you want, but it’s important to remember being aware of the silliness
and always remember not take these shows too seriously. So personally, I pass…
anime is not my thing and I don’t want to talk about it because I don’t
understand it too well, I’m just trying to theorize here.
So good
night my snipper-snapper fellows, I hope these rant doesn’t offend you and be
open-minded like I tried to be when I wrote this. Take care.
You know
kids, you shouldn’t smoke. It gets you cancer and it’s not a thing that is
going to make you instantaneously cool or some crap like that. So do yourselves
a favor and stay away from tobacco, and I’ll guarantee to you that you’re going
to have a long, healthy and prosperous life.
Okay, now with that said: Why you people feel
the necessity of demonize smokers and second hand smoke? It’s redundant to
remind the dangers of smoking at this point.
And this mascot was supossed to appeal to the younger audiences, just let that sink in
I mean,
this aren’t the 60´s, people know that smoking it’s one of the most common way
to die considering the addictive factor and the social conventions that people
have around the whole habit. It’s not like smokers or tobacco companies try to
convince you that smoke cigarettes is a good idea (and it’s not), but you can’t
blame them for becoming rich at the expense of the health of people who just
want to relax and have a good time with his death roll.
Okay, think about a low-class man, who works
24/7 and want to relax after a hard day of work, what does he do? Light a cigarette
and let the nicotine (a stimulating drug that is also used as insecticide),
produce a chemical called acetylcholine that gets into the brain cells that
controls muscular movement, the respiratory process and the heart beating,
creating a state of “relaxation” in the body.
So this
hard-working man can feel his body rested, so he can be prepared for another
day of work, even though he can get cancer if he starts to smoke too many cigarettes
and continue with this habit for a long period of time. So, it’s probable for
this poor guy to die in their 60’s because he can’t quit this habit and can’t
afford to pay a cancer treatment depending how much does that cost.
What’s the
point here? That if you try to found a way to escape from your reality you
better found one that doesn’t destroy your body as well, but if you’re going to
do it anyway take responsibility of your acts and don’t blame a bunch of
tobacco rolls for your lung cancer.
The thing
is that even if you try to use an alternative way to relaxation like the
Electronic Cigarettes (who can also contain a few toxins and therefore be just
as dangerous), you can’t hide the fact that your body needs a form of addiction
to feel fine.
Considering
the way that anti-Tobacco campaigns try to fight against the influence of
smoking in our society, I can’t avoid to notice that we always try to find a
scapegoat to the things that are wrong with us as citizens, but Tobacco
companies, even if they’re a bunch of corporate pigs, they became rich and
powerful through entrepreneurship, they never fool the people because the
dangerous of smoking was discovered in 1966 by Richard Doll, before that,
cigarette were pretty much like candy for adults.
And let me
tell you something, I’m not a smoker, I’ve never smoke a cigar in my life, but
there has been several occasions were I’ve been exposed to second hand smoke in
closed places, and I’m still just as healthy as always, so I’m very skeptical
about the “dangers” of second hand smoke, I mean it can be annoying, but not
extremely dangerous like smoke 500 cigarettes per day, that is just silly. So, if
you’re going to put your life at risk, try to be careful when you’re blowing
smoke so you can stay near to your non-smoker pals.
And that’s
the other thing about these kinds of addictions; you can also affect the people
around you. For example, my parents used to be smokers when I was a little kid,
but they quit because they don’t want to risk my health, I’m very thankful to
them for that but they also though me to treat with respect the decisions that
people take about their own body.
So remember
kids, if you want to ruin your lungs just to be “cool” then you’re going to
ending up dying in our forties and going to make your beloved ones very sad
because of your selfishness, if you’re a hard-working man that use the
cigarettes to make you stressful day a little bit more tolerable, just remember
to quit while you still have time, and if you’re one of those guys who still
blame and demonize tobacco companies for the death of thousand people per year,
you need to do your proper research and stop blowing smoke buddy. Good night
everybody.
You know, I’m
not a Jew but I’m not an anti-Semitic idiot like most trolls on the internet
either. I don’t think the situation between the three most prominent religions
in the world its okay. But I am just wondering: what’s the big deal with Jews? Jesus,
some people take this issue with these people way too far.
I mean,
when people talk about Jews it’s always the same two sides, it’s Jews are the
scum of the Earth, or it’s Jews are the chosen people and therefore the need to
be protected by the holiness of the always beloved political correctness, where
the hell it’s the middle ground to this?
It is
because it’s one of the first (if not THE first) monotheist religion that came
up? It is because they talk about of being the chosen people? It is because
they killed Jesus Christ even though a lot of people got killed that way during
that time period?
Wow, even kids movies aren't saved from the Jewish Stereotyping
All the
reasons to hate Jews are so confusing and contradictory that people seems to
hate just for the sake of hating someone. And I’m not against rip on people for
comedic effect and stuff, but some people take the “hate the chosen people” way
too seriously. Jews aren’t greedy, evil, of manipulate, Jews are just people
with delusions of grandeur, just like every religion in this planet.
If you
research a little bit of Jewish history, the reason of why they didn’t accept
J.C as their lord and savior it’s because: a) he did not fulfilled the prophecies
in the bible, b) the Christian theology contradicts some of the estates in the
Torah, and c) the revelation of a prophet is based in national pride, that it
means that the TRUE messiah of the chosen people will be a pure-blood Jew who
will raise in the holy land of Israel.
Yes, maybe
Jesus could turn water into wine, walk above water and multiply bread and
fishes, but he did not built the third temple of Jerusalem, he did not reunite
the people on Israel and because he talked about the idea of God divided in
three entities (the father, the son and the holy spirit), his story contradicts
the vision of an incorporeal divinity that God represents.
And people then say thae Jews are the bad guys, Jesus Christ give me a break
The
messiah, according to Judaism will became from human parents, not a Virgin impregnated
by God himself, yes, the Jewish beliefs are very elitist and self-centered, but
they also have a more optimistic vision about material world, they doesn’t talk
about the material world as something that is need to be avoided like the Muslims
and Christians.
They use
their human intelligence and cleverness to rise in every place that they
installed, the only reason that people say they’re greedy it’s because they
know how to approach the things that God gave to them in earth instead of… you
know, talk about damnation, sin and redemption of our souls through prays and
confessions. Jews has their own morals, but that doesn’t mean they think of
suffer and pain all the time. They’re not greedy, just self centered and
intelligent.
And in top
of that, they don’t talk about a relation with God through intermediaries, and
Jesus, being the “son of God” it’s blasphemy to them. And again, they take the
blood heritage thing very seriously, because according to their religion, the
prophet descends directly from the David King bloodline, from the father side.
And at last but not least, the whole reason Christians establish that Jesus is
the chosen one is for some misinterpretations in the Old Testament, in Hebrew the words “soul” and “virgin” are
very similar, so when Christianity talks about a virgin that gave birth,
Judaism refers to a soul gave birth.
Judaism
doesn’t talk about miracles, it talks about revelations, and they think that
Israel is the place where the savior is going to rise, so even if you’re
Christian, you need to understand why Jews doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ, not
hating them because they don’t have your same viewpoints.
And the
other thing that I don’t get about this debate is when people talk about Jews
as a race. Apparently some folk’s years ago labeled Jewish people as a race
with common characteristics instead of beliefs. And that’s just strange,
considering that Semitism is referred to people who talk Semitic languages, and
that include Muslims as well.
Even if the
assume that Jews are a race, they need to consider this: The messiah of the
Christianity is, in fact, a Jew. So that does it mean that without Judaism,
there’s no Christ, and also that implies that, ethnically, all Christians are
Jews, but wait, Christians are not labeled as a race like the Jews, they’re
just a religion, so this whole race thing it’s just as contradictory and
nonsensical as most of the stuff written in the Bible.
Is there
evil Jewish people? Of course, the same way they’re evil Muslims, evil Christians,
evil atheists and overall evilness in every group of people that want to
control their peers with intolerance and bigotry. The mankind is evil, the
things that we say against groups of other people it’s just a way to create
scapegoats to feel better about ourselves.
The Truth
is, that no matter how hard we try, there’s always a chance to became greedy
power-hungry monsters like the Zionists that, by the way, are not evil because
they’re Jewish, they’re evil because they’re human beings with power and a big
friend called “political correctness” who can help them to hide from legitimate
criticism through the old “blame the Jews” excuse.
They came, they're bad and they will own Jew kid...
So, the
next time someone tell you that Jews are evil (the news, your racist friends or
whatever) just remember: every person has a Jew inside their souls. If Jews are
greedy, manipulative, war instigators and self-center elitist douche bags, so
that means that the whole mankind is Jewish. So, with that said, it’s better to
start to hate ourselves as human beings as well. Good luck you rats.
I hope Jew
don’t mind the puns but, I’ve got to Goy, I been shtick around the computer for
way too long and if I don’t oy vey my doctor about schlep a little bit, I’m
going to kittel myself one of these days, so shalom guys, what yutzi is what
jew got.
Well, the English
class is over and I’m enjoying my short vacations doing what I like to do the
most. And that’s watching movies and TV shows. For example, I’m watching a show
called “Mad Men” created by Matthew Weiner, one of the writers from The Sopranos,
but I’m going to talk about that in other post.
But, this
is hard for me to do it, because a reviewer needs to keep subjective when it
comes to analyze something and the movie that I’m going to do it happens to be
one of my favorite films of all time. I’m talking of course of Fernando
Meirelles crime drama masterpiece “Cidade de Deus” City of god for those who
don’t talk Portuguese.
You came to the wrong neighbourhood Motherf*cker
And just in
case you don’t know, I don’t care, and I’m going to write this in capitals so
you can understand it I DON’T CARE about the world cup, so this particular
choice has absolute nothing to do with the demise of Brazil during the Match
with Germany (although it was kinda funny watching them lose the game in their
own country)
But, enough
with the pointless talking and let’s starting with the reviewing (Spoiler Alert):
We opened
the movie watching a chicken escaping in a favela, where a group of gangsters
chase it around the streets. The animal stops in front of a young photographer
called Buscapé (Rocket) who is the main character and narrator. Buscapé thinks
that the Gang wants to kill him and suddenly we cut to a flashback to explain
the whole story. And that’s where the movie begins.
We learn
that Buscapé was raised in a very poor town in the sixties and his brother
Marreco (Goose), was part of a little gang called “the tender trio” along with his
friends Cabeleira (Shaggy) and Alicate (Clipped) who stole money from people
from the outside and split it with thwe citizens. Kind of like Robin Hood, so
they were respected for that.
But one
day, Dadihno (Lil Dice), a boy who idolized the Trio suggested them to assault
a Motel in order to abandon their thieves’ lives and escape to something
better. Dadihno however, was a very violent and ambitious kid who wanted to
grow up to become a gangster and he suggested them to do it because he wanted
to be initiated into that life. The Trio, of course do not let him to do that
and assign him as lookout.
But during
the assault, someone broke a glass in the motel and activated the alarm; the
Trio, who wanted to take the money without killing anyone, escaped very quickly
and didn’t earned enough money to escape from their life crime. The three gangsters
split up and tried to redeem themselves after that day.
Cabeleira
fell in love with a woman and later decided to work in order to change his
life, Marreco started to work selling fishes with his father warning his
brother to not choose the life of crime and keep studying, and Alicate joined
the church. But an incident related with a man killing his wife because she had
an affair with Buscape´s brother brought attention t the police, resulting in
the death of Cabeleira during an escape.
Later, in
the seventies we follow the misadventures of Buscapé tring to lose the
virginity with a girl named Angelica, who was part of a group of Hippies from
the Favela who smoke marihuana and went to parties and stuff. Buscapé, who developed
a passion for photography was the official photographer and the one responsible
of getting the weed.
But one day
he went to the apartment where his official Pot Dealer Neguinho (Blackie) was
taking by surprise by Dadihno, who change his name to Ze Pequeno (Lil Ze) and
discovered through a flashback story that he was the one who broke the glass
from the motel and later he killed everyone in there. Later he killed Buscape’s
brother when he tried to take the money he stole. And after that he started his
new life as a gangster along with his best friend Bené (Benny), who was the
older brother of Cabeleira.
Benny, who
was the Jiminy Cricket of Ze, prevented him to start a feud with a gangster
called Cenoura (carrot) who was Bene’s friend and the only gangster leader who
was not killed by Ze during his rise to power.
Then, everything
went surprisingly peaceful in the Favela. Angelica became Bene’s boyfriend; Ze
stopped some group of kids called “The runts” from robbing and vandalizing the favela
without his authority; Buscapé went through a series of unfortunate events
until he got a job in the newspaper; Neguinho was expelled from the apartment; and
Bené decided to leave the life of crime where he was shot by Neguinho who
wanted to killed Ze and not him.
Ze, without
Bene being the voice of reason, became crazier and started a war against
Cenoura. But first, he took a personal revenge and raped a girl who reject him
during the farewell party of Bene and humiliated his boyfriend Mané Galinha (Knockout
Ned). And not only that, he decided to murder the guy in his house and killed
his brother and Uncle instead. So Mané, who was a pacifist decided to join
Cenoura’s gang in order to take revenge against Lil Ze.
And After a
lot of assaults, people joining one side or another for revenge and murder
after murder after murder, the mob war has begun. Buscapé who just wanted to
survive in that crzy world became the official photographer of Lil Ze and his
gang when he took a picture of them with their guns and accidentally gave the
photos to the press and spread the word about Ze’s mob family (although that
was the thing Ze wanted, but Buscapé wasn’t aware).
And finally
we get to the beginning of the film when Buscapé was found by Ze’s gang and
just in that moment, the police and Cenoura’s gang appeared and started their
last battle. Resulting in Mané getting killed by a kid who searched for revenge
against him because he killed his father in one of the assaults, Ze and Cenoura
got arrested but Ze was released by the corrupt cops and that moment was captured
by Buscape. And finally, The Runts killed Ze in the same alley and took his place
as the mob leaders of the Favela completing the cycle of violence and ending
the film on a high note.
Wow, that
was a lot of Writing don’t you think? I mean, this a very complex movie in
terms of writing and argument so ther’e a lot of things that I couldn’t leave
out, but I hope you don’t mind.
So, what’s
my opinion about the film? Well… that it’s freaking awesome. The music, the
story, the writing, the acting, the pacing and the fact that every actor in
this film came from the favelas in real life make this movie one of the most
gruesome and realistic crime flicks of all time.
But if I
had to choose some nitpick, I’d say that the main character it’s not that
interesting. Don’t get me wrong, the guy is very likeable. But it’s very evident
that he’s just there to be the vehicle of the story via narration instead of
one character with a much bigger role. But, to be fair, a movie with the incredible
amount of subplots and story arcs like this it’s very hard to get through that.
And it’s
very interesting the influence of Tarantino films in this movie. You can notice
that not only in the narrative, but also in the style and the aestheticization ofviolence presented during the most violent secuences.
The good thing about this it’s that gave us the benefit of
the doubt about the gangster’s life. Instead of trying to convince us about
something, it showed us why this happens and showed us that through the point
of view of three-dimensional characters. I mean even Lil Ze, who is depicted as
a sociopath with no redeemable qualities, has his own reasons to do what he
think is right. He just want to be respected, he wanted to be more powerful,
but that life corrupted him to the point of insanity and ended the same way it
started: with a grown up gangster being shot by a kid.
So if don’t watched: what the hell are you doing reading
this? Go and watch it right now. It’s one of those flicks you must see before
you die. Sure that I did it and I’m going to watch it over and over before
leaving this world.
And that was my post from today. Take care and study to
become an important person in the future. Unless you want to be a movie star
like the people who participated in this film. So… don’t listen to me and
choose books over crooks. Bye.
I'm going to improvise. I'm not gonna promise any good thing, but I'll try my best. Pray for me.
ER MAH GERD RANDOM PICTURE OF THE DAY... keep it on Stappy...
So, 5 years since the death of Michael Jackson. Yea, It's funny how every year people celebrate the anniverary of his death like it was his birthday or something like that. I'm not a fan of him, I mean, I recognize that he's was a very talented fella, but it wasn't for me.
His music style was never my type, I'm more into rock and roll from the 60s to 2000's so I never got the chance to learn about him like I did with other musicians.
But I still feel sorry for him. Not that much for his dead, but mostly for his last years in this world. So many things happened to him beetween the media coverage, the child molestaion accusations, the... plastic surgery that slowly dissolved his body into a lifeless skeleton that needed to die soon. The poor guy suffered so much in his last years, but at least he is in peace now. So that was for you Mikey.
And the other thing that I want point out is... Doug... wat r u doin... Doug... Stahp. Seriously Mr. Walker. What the hell happened to you. You started as a humble and funny internet reviewer with a lot of energy and creativity and now you're just a sellout.
I mean, Adventure Time Vlogs? Really? you want to cash on the fanbase of a show aimed at toddlers and is watched by grown men. That's low man, really, really low. And now you want to people to donate to a Indiegogo campain for an online game show, even though your website Thatguywiththeglasses.com is valued in almost 2 million dollars and generate $666,720 PER YEAR.
And the last Thing I want to Talk about beacuse I got run out of ideas is: What's the big deal with people and football. I'm sorry, I know I already talked about this but... Why you destroyed public property when your team wins a match?. That makes no sense whatsoever and yet people keeps doing it
Ah, good grief, it's the same circus NEARLY every 4 years and it keeps going on and on and on and I still don't get it. You're supposed to celebrate getting drunk and killing braincells instead of destroy thing that belongs to your beloved country you... EEEDIOT!!!
It's the most irrational thing that I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen a lot of stupid things happening before, but this... it takes the prize to the most embarassing behaviour in the history of public embarassment, what a waste.
And that's all for today. Good night, take care and... read a book or something.
I admit it. My English kinda sucks, okay? I mean it's not like I can't understand the languaje at all, it's just... put it this way: If I had send to U.K or the United States or whatever, I would be totally totally lost and dead in a matter of hours. I can't communicate properly.
HODOR!!!
And now you ask me how is that possible if you're writing this entire post in english. Well my friend, the answer is simple. I don't have good pronunciation. I can differentiate the "Your" from the "You're" but I can't say those words without sound like a baby with his tongue bite.
Eeyup, my pronunciation is as good as a kindergartner trying to read a Shakespeare play. And considering that most of the movies and shows that I watch are in English, that's pretty bad. And again, I can understand the words and the sentences in the proper context. But it's still dificult to me talk the languaje like an english man.
But here's the funny thing. I can talk very fluid through impressions. I don't like to be an arrogant prick or anything like that, but I know how to imitate the voice of a lot of characters, I learn the sounds, I learn the accents and suddenly my english languaje gets better. It's the weirdest thing ever, I know that.
And I just don't know why... maybe is because it's because I got abetter understanding of the sounds of a languaje rather than their meaning. It's like when you hear a comedian doing an impression of the japanese languaje. I mean, it's very clear he doesn't know how to speak it, but he knows how it sounds, he understand the accent, the tone, the most common sounds and letters used and even some of the most used words like Gomenasai, Arigato, or whatever.
So... does that mean that my english has no future at all. probably not. Can I improve my skills in the future so I can speak the language like the common people and not through silly impressions. If your answer was yes... You're Goddamn Right.
The experience of studing in a university taught me a lot of things. But if had to choose the most important of all of them is: Never fail a single class or else you're gonna pay for it (literally)
Being a student of journalism, one of the most important things in my career is the ethics. If you're not an ethical person, you're screwed at least for one more year. Failed the ethics class toally stabbed me back in my second year in this university. Now I'm an ENTIRE year late because of that.
And the fact that my teacher is a total nazi when it come to evaluation doesn't help either. He constantly tries no make me feel like garbage and remind that he is a very influential person. Maybe he knows more than me, but that doesn't mean he is a good person or a guy who deserves respect from the new generations.
And if we talk about my personal life, I've barely seen my friends during this year, I still got no date (but I've never cared about that so it doesn't really matter), I've got sick from the stomach during the hazing party in my university, some of my favorite TV shows were cancelled (seriously NBC executives, are you mentally challenged or what?) and I discovered that my favorite internet reviewers is a sellout.
Does that means that my life is so bad that I'm going to kill myself in the future? hell no, I'm not a lousy emo kid. My life is not bad, just boring and tired. I don't know what to think or what to do, so I spend my entire recess time watching Felicity in my computer and listening Creed music. Yes, I've listened those guys, pray for me.
And if there has been some good stuff that has happened to me this semester, well... I went to one of my friends birthday party and I sang karaoke with my family because we were celebrating the baby shower of my aunt in law.
I hope next semester to be better than this one. But I can't tell if that is going to be true so... Yeah, that's my thoughs about this year. Take care.
I don’t get
it. I just really, really, really, REALLY don’t get it. I have nothing against
those people, who enjoy, but football soccer does absolutely nothing for me and
I don’t know why.
Maybe is
because my father traumatized me with his constant yelling when I was a kid,
maybe is because I met a lot of soccer fans during my life who were total
assholes with me and I learned to hate them because of that, or perhaps I’m
just a pussy… well, whatever the reason, I just don’t care.
And I know
what you’re thinking: If he doesn’t care about it, why is he dedicating an
entire post about it? That’s just stupid. And you’re totally free to believe
that, even I think that I’m a humorless douchebag sometimes. But my point is:
Why this thing is supposed to be important for me; the answer, if you’re not
figured out already, is: It doesn’t.
But, if I
think about it, the sport itself it’s not the thing that bothers me. Seriously:
why am I supposed to hate a bunch of brainless guys chasing a ball with their
feet during 90 minutes? The thing that bothers me is this:
I'm pretty sure that this is the image that inspired Pablo Picasso to draw Guernica... I've seen nests of rats more organized than this.
The stupidity
of the football players is nothing compared to the average “intelligence” of a
football fan, even Jon Snow knows more than those imbeciles. Of course, I’m not
talking about ALL the fans, there obvious exceptions. I’m talking about those uneducated,
trash-talking, Cro-Magnon shitheads that constantly beat the crap out of each
other in order to prove who the superior team/club/country is.
I mean, I
get that competition it’s something that belongs to human nature and to be
fair, the idea of supporting your team and be with your friends enjoying a
sport game it’s a very funny activity. But, come on, could football fans be any
more racist/supremacist when it comes to talk about the other teams.
It’s kind
of disturbing to me see the people of my country preparing their hate speech
against Brazilians, Spanish, Argentineans, or whatever. Part of it is because I
hate my own country. I think I live in a land of arrogant fart-smellers and
ultra-nationalist twats who think they’re the British’s of America. The British’s
of America? Give me a break.
And the
worst part is that these people teasing everybody about how good they are. Even
people from the same country like me. If I don’t love my country then I’m a
horrible person. Well, you know what? Yes I’m a friggin’ monster because I don’t
like this stupid country and I don’t give a crap about pretend that I need to
feel superior to the other countries. I’m not exactly a huge fan of Adolf
Hitler for your information.
Getting
back on track, here’s my question: Does win the world cup is going to make any
difference about how the rest of the world sees us? Well, my answer is a big,
fat, redundant and despicably obvious NO. So stop nagging people about it.
To finish
this post I declare myself not a football and proudly scream: Screw you guys, I’m
goin’ home.
