One shot

The United Nations has lost it again. A lack of senses and a lack of reality. When politics take over common sense. Deaf, dumb and blind rules in the high tower along the East River in NYC.

Recently the UN nominated mad dictator Mugabe from Zimbabwe as an ‘ambassador’ for tourism. If it wasn’t serious it would fit Comedy Central. A dictator who destroyed his beautiful country as a guiding light to booster tourism!! How farfetched is that? A man who despises democracy, who has torture militias, who destroyed the whole economy and social fabric of his country, who himself lives in extreme wealth,…. That man the UN chose to be a flag carrier for international tourism. Who ever decided that needs to be put in an asylum urgently.

And clearly the UN doesn’t stop there. Once on the path of insanity there doesn’t seem to be a u-turn option. Now the UN education panel nominated South Africa’s  president Jacob Zuma to join them. They asked Zuma to give them advise on educational matters while back in South Africa Zuma’s government has lead to the collapse of the education system. Schoolbooks haven’t been delivered. Teachers not paid. Many schoolbuildings collapsing. Some classes are still happening under trees. Teachers raping schoolgirls. And that man is now chosen to advise the world on education. It’s Comedy Central on Mars! Sad sad sad. What a bunch of nutters in that NYC tower. Too much champagne and too big salaries have made them loose touch with reality and lost their senses. Evict them from society as soon as possible before they make another blunder the size of the galaxy.

Human behavior is a path of insanity. Nutters on the loose.

Shell shuts pipeline in Nigeria. Floods in England. Hand grenades thrown at schoolkids in Kenya. NATO soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Miners trapped in China. Global warming reduces fish size. Qatar Muslim conservatists nervous. Georgia’s election fever. Food aid in South Sudan threatened by violence. Strikes across India. Car-bombs in Iraq. Protests in Spain. The Pope’s butler on trial. Election tension in Venezuela. Hunduras’ army protects bus commuters. New salmonella virus. Syria’s ongoing bloodbath. Protesting medics jailed in Bahrain.

It’s a madhouse out there. And it doesn’t stop here. The US network that is fully behind Mitt Romney’s presidential hopes has done a Romney-style slip up. Fox News really crossed the line. But it was expected. Reality TV is pushing the boundaries every day and thus it doesn’t come to any surprise that the day has come – thanks to Fox News – that a suicide was shown live on air.

A real life car chase became a thrilling reality TV blockbuster. But when the looser realized his driving skills weren’t up to standards and he ran out of the car and put a gun to his head…, maybe then the director back in the studio should have pulled the plug. But the viewer ratings were calling the shots and ‘the moment’ was there for all to witness. Live as it happened. One shot. One dead. One step too far.

And the only thing Fox had to say was “Sorry”. They should join Mitt and drive into the desert of craziness. Where reality is blurred.

Human behavior is driven by the absence of brainpower.

Bit of tabloid trash now to stick to Fox News’ style and to satisfy the bored masses. Lindsey Lohan had a fight with a man in a NY hotel room about certain cellphone pictures taken at a nightclub. Guess the photos weren’t ‘glamorous’? George Michael cancelled his Australian tour because of anxiety. That’s like offering the tabloids a free ride for more gossip and innuendo. Fear of what? A crap gig? Kangeroos? Dirty toilets? Fear that the time zone difference will upset his bio-rhythm? Fear of bad quality drugs?  Fear of fear itself? Doesn’t sound too good. Asylum candidacy? And since Sarkozy lost the French presidency we haven’t heard from his singing wife? Lack of presidential spotlights causing creative blockages?

Human behavior is a frontpage away.

Throw Out. English folk-punk singer Frank Turner is releasing (on October 2nd) “Last minutes & lost evenings”. It’s a collection from his recent Wembley gig. Turner previously toured in support of The Gaslight Anthem, Dropkick Murphys, Social Distortion,… Fine acoustic based tunes.
