There's this thing I read online a couple of days ago that made me laugh. It was a poll that sort of decided the 'Youth Icons' of 2011. The results were as follows.
1. Justin Bieber - 56%
2. Lady Gaga - 29%
3. Robert Pattinson - 15%
I don't know about you but, to me that is hilarious. I switched my laptop off and threw myself onto the bean bag. Red bull in hand, I stared at the ceiling.
What went wrong?
Kids today idolize Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. How did this happen? There are so many people we can idolize. We have social reformers, doctors, novelists, army men, sportsmen, charity workers but no, we want a freak in a meat dress! Do kids really not see anything weird growing up to be Lady Gaga? This is something I've always wondered. Huh. Lady Gaga. What species is that? Women are beautiful. They shouldn't do that to themselves. I don't know if you know this but I saw a picture of Lady Gaga before she became a freak and do you know what, she looked gorgeous. Plastic surgery is mental too. I mean, look at Micheal Jackson, holy shit! That is not a good look. I know all you MJ fans are going to be cross with me, but let's be honest, he looked like a fox caught in a windstorm.
Justin Bieber. Why is he that famous? Why is it that when I just type 'J' in Google search box, I get ten million results for Justin Bieber? Is it because he said the word "Baby" more times than anyone else in the world in a period of five minutes? Is that it? And do you know what, he won the American Music Award and the Billboard Music Award for it. I'm baffled. What is wrong with us? Why do we celebrate such madness and banality? I don't get it. Justin Beiber's got an autobiography out. How mad is that? He's 16 years old, for fuck's sake!
Imagine reading that book. Chapter three. "Today, I was denied riding the roller coaster at Disney World because I'm not tall enough. I'm very sad. Mom said, 'Eat your veggies, Justin.' I said to myself, 'One day I'll conquer that roller coaster, one day.' as I ate my veggies."
I saw everywhere how everyone made fun of Twilight, you know, so I read it. I mean, what a heap of shit.
I get it now. 'I must leave, Bella, for I believe I endanger your life. I'm a vampire, Bella.', says the vampire named Edward. Along comes a ware wolf named Jacob. It's too corny isn't it? "You have to choose, Bella. I'm a vampire, I'm a ware wolf. Choose, Bella, choose." What is wrong with Bella? By that logic, why can't it be, "Oe Bella. I'm a Caterpillar. Choose me. I'm an insect. I'm also a train, Bella."
Just saying. How did all this become the epicentre of cool? What is wrong with the music I listen to?
David Soul, Ronan Keating, James Taylor, Robbie Williams, Eric Clapton, Brian Johnson, Angus Young, James Morrison, The Beatles. They make me feel alive, you know, they make me feel good. I have fun.
I don't know about you but listening to Pa Pa Pa Poker Face makes me feel nauseated.
There's this other thing that baffles me. I saw a group on Facebook the other day named "Justin Bieber Haters". I ventured inside, 'cause I'm an idiot and do you know what I found? There was this admin, a 17 year old named Martin who ran the group. The group consisted of two thousand other idiots who spent a considerable amount of their time online expressing their hate towards Beiber every single day! How mad can you get? Yes, you dislike someone. You say 'yeah, he's shit.' and move on with your lives. Not dedicate your entire childhood to make fun of someone who's never even going to read the insulting meme you created!
But hey, don't get me wrong. I love kids. I'm not one of these people going 'Bloody children. Never running around, always on computers.' No. Because we would've done the exact same thing but our computer games were shit!
"Adi, do you want to go to the park?"
"Oh, I don't think so, man. I'm playing this game where you got to get the fish across the stream jumping on boats."
"wow. Really?"
"Yeah, if he doesn't get on the boat, he's going to fall into the water and die even though he's a fucking fish."
Have you seen the games we have today? Call of Duty, Diablo, Crysis, Dirt! Did you know Max Payne 3 is 27 GB? I mean, screw the park!
All I'm saying is, It would probably be better if the kids would idolize someone who isn't a proper ass clown and get to the park once in a while so we could say no to bariatric surgery.
So, this is me. Just trying to make the world a better place. Haha!
