ANGRY AND CONFUSED
I always imagined my second piece (SEE LAST CHRISTMAS FOR NUMBER ONE)would be about something that makes me angry. The type of rantings that aren't really about the event but more about my own deferred anger agenda, and to be honest I've got a great list of things that get me going, from thin people who stuff their faces with food whilst self righteously slagging off the fatty eating a finger of twix to anyone wearing a hat, via see-through plastic packaging which is almost impossible to open but then tears uncontrollably once breached.
But no I really think this thing is the real nasty, deserving of anyones wrath and vilification. Its a TV programme which I just cannot watch because it encourages people to be mean to each other, it's called Goldenballs and two people are encouraged at the end to cheat each other out of their half of the prize money (I am now wondering whether to spend the next hundred words explaining the plot or assume you know it - brevity wins). What really freaks me out is that I just cannot watch it and am challenged by the question of who can enjoy watching people act dishonourably and gaining from it. Look I know that's what real life actually is like but I cannot cope with the truth of that dressed up as light entertainment.
I think with me it goes right to the core as I cannot believe that the winning cheaters are not too ashamed to carry out their evil deeds. Or perhaps I am just a LIGHTWEIGHT.!
