As mad as an old woman's shite, and as rough as a Chelsea-smile. Don't bother
Most people here would wear bin-bags on their heads if Americans or Europeans were doing it. If Johnny Depp started rocking polka-dot waistcoats, Speedos and moonboots with leg-warmers, it would be de rigeur here within months. If Larry King started interviewing cunts with two florettes of broccoli protruding from his nostrils, ernest bankers would follow suit without delay. We all have this emulative gene to some extent, especially as teenagers, after which hopefully most of us get a life. I remember at one point desperately wanting a Greek sailors hat just like that uber-cunt lead singer of 'Curiosity Killed the Cat'. Remember that bunch of total cunts? I eventually got hold of one and wore it for about five minutes, the dippy fucktard that I am.
Anyways, this emulation malarkey would be all well and good if it wasn't for the ball-licking adoration that allows cultural imperialism and consequently brainless consumerism. Acquisitiveness informs all, Mammon frolics. Prestige by filthy lucre are the platters that matter. Mall-rats are all very well, but we've reached the point where my adult students consider meeting their friends in the department store of a Sunday afternoon as a good time. Well slap my thigh and fuck off while you're about it. How skewed is that? This has transpired everywhere, desire created by the myth-spunkers of the corporate brain. I am not fucking joking here cunts. To see fully grown adults reduced to infantile giggle merchants by wealth and spending is truly perturbing.
Everyone chill. I like a good Zoo York hoody and PSP or whatever the fuck as much as the next crap blogger, but cunts need to rein that shit in. Like haunting images in a periodical of people in India, Tibet or maybe Hull, the black and white denoting their desperate struggle to survive, the abject poverty all around. There but for the Grace God go I you think. Well I don't know who you are, or what your thinking is, but you can both be fucked. Those people have had all choice taken from them, and if you are a fat little piglet sucking from the teat of aquisitiveness, it has also been taken from you. Only difference being, you are a lot less likely to die from starvation or cholera, you are a cunt, and you can't batique a linen for shit.
Sirrah!

Most excellent and righteous post, Brewski. Fucking consumerism copycat bullshit...makes me SEETHE.
Fucking right... but it seeps in everywhere, not just the mall. Look at the wave of designer drinks over the last decade. When I worked in pubs I used to see bottles of dodgy shit that had been on the shelves for weeks without a sale. We used to give a couple out free to band members when they were playing and all of a sudden they'd fly off the fucking shelves.
Some bastards just cannot think for themselves...
I'll be bringing out my own set of designer t-shirts shortly
Hey mellow out man. Cool your jets; rampant out of control consumption will be mankind’s salvation. We can’t go back. Where is back anyway? When Snickers was Marathon? Groovy 45s? Tuberculosis? Hey, remember Payne’s Poppets at the cinema before it went all American with shit tasting weird “pop-corn” (itself a triumph of marketing for the Maize Growers of North America)? I liked the little box that you put your finger in to find them.
WV word is mnyuhm. A natural rubber like substance tapped from Indonesian trees.
I never suggested we could go back, Good D.! Just as the ship goes down, we might as well know what vessel we're on, who the fucking captain is, and who was taking us down, the fuckers. And you better be ready. Cypress Hill rule the Earth. Also, I did not know the word 'chav' until six months ago. I am out of the loop, that's why you cunts can tell me anything. Just the same as a Kev, right?
How can we avoid this bullshit, please tell me...you buy organic fucking soy bean anti-this pro-that no meat shit, and you're still tearing down the rainforest because 60,000 european pricks are on that train and the poor third world fuckers are making a dollar a day and have no control anyways and fuckit! The only solution is mass pandemic...get rid of us all, and maybe a few will have a chance. The insects are next, the insects are next!
Quigs, how right you are -- mass pandemic is a great option... maybe we could infect all the copycat merch with some kind of nasty fatal disease... or maybe someone could just institute some kind of firing squad against everyone who watches MTV, reads Cosmo, or listens to pop...
Yep Brewski, Chav is kind of like a Kev. It actually stands for something quite derogatory and sweeping in its generalisation. Council house something or other. Can't remember the A and the V. Anyone else know?
