“Religion is the opiate of the people”

So says Karl Marx. Look I’m not here to necessarily debate religion. That’s a different story, for a different time. But I read this article today and I just had to just say something about it.

The jist is: Muslim woman gets stoned to death for having an “affair” (though she was divorced at the time) while man gets just 100 licks to his backside.

"God's work"?

WRONG WRONG WRONG.

How is this “righteous”? How is this doing “good”? I’m sure if God were to come down right down at this very moment, he would be disgusted and send all those bastards straight to Hell for distorting his words and basically playing him. Unfortunately, these people are so dogmatic about their so called “religious” beliefs that they cannot see the evil that they are actually doing.

What’s worse is that people will see this and think that all of Islam is this way, which it isn’t. Stupid, disgusting, barbaric acts like this will not help shake the “one bad apple, spoils them all” mentality held by some…

Caveat Emptor

I’m writing to warn you about some shysters who almost scammed me!

Almost*

Basically I got a phone call off some bloke who said that I had applied for something and asked if I had a showreel. I said “no” and he said he’d call me back. The next day he phoned up and said that the casting director was out of the country but really wanted me for one of the main roles, so they’d have to see me in something. He proposed that they do a showreel for me, consisting of me acting different scenes out from the piece. When I asked him if he could send me the sides for the role, he said he couldn’t because “they didn’t want me to be tied down/attached to just the one role as this particular part would be composed of different characters.

I didn’t want to sound unprofessional by not remembering the name of the production (because as actors, I’m sure you all know, you apply to so many different things, it’s hard to keep up!) so I asked him the name of the role, he kinda just fobbed me off. Then the icing on the cake was that this showreel they they were going to do for me would cost £245.00. When I said that was too expensive he said then £180.00. I told him STILL too expensive then he asked, “what amount is good for you?” I just said “let me know if ever do real auditions and I may consider it” and hung up.

Just a couple of points:

• He called me outside of “working hours” in the evening (which isn’t unusual as such but sometimes…)
• He said I applied for something but he never sent me an email once
• He never once mentioned the name of the character or production
• He basically proposed that I pay for something that they wanted. When really they could have just auditioned me and sent the casting director the tapes/uploaded them onto a website
• Who’s to say that after I paid, they would say that I didn’t get the part (or that they would have filmed me at all)
• When I told him it was too expensive he kept trying to negotiate!

I think he got my details off CCP or some similar website. Just beware!

1st Honorary Member of Person or Persons Most Deserving of a Public Beat Down: Elizabeth Lambert

What the fuck is up with people?

See here’s the problem. People who get away with doing crappy stuff to other folks all the time never stop being an asshole because nobody ever says anything… They just let them do it over and over and over again until they feel like it’s their flippin’ duty to act like a sack of shit.

Watch our first member here!

100% Douchebaggery

Solution: Public humiliations & beat-down. Every time someone acts like a douche, show them that,  “I’m sorry Bobby, we’re not gonna do this today. Instead you’re going to learn a lesson on how to be a human being and not a sack of shit”.

Then proceed to inflict a beat-down. But make sure to make it public, and if you can’t , post it on youtube and other sites like that to make sure everyone knows, just what a royal pain the backside that Bobby has been. It only takes that one time to be shamed, and trust me, you’ll find a lot of people stop acting like they shit gold.

Without further ado, I am pleased to welcome Miss Elizabeth Lambert to the committee  of Person or Persons Most Deserving of a Public Beat Down.

WHY BOTHER?

WHY BOTHER?

This is a rant. This is a rant about X-Factor, so make your exit now if you can’t be bothered to read on.

I am SO sick and tired of everyone giving Danyl a hard time! And precisely why?

A)   He’s a”bully”

B)   He’s gay/bisexual

C)   He’s more hated than Hitler…

D)   He’s “cocky”

FUCK OFF.  Just fuck RIGHT off. The problem is Danyl is f-AMAZING. He can sing circles round everyone. He came out and blew the judges away. I’m sure they were all wetting themselves hoping they would get him. But seeing as it’s Simon’s show, he of course got him. And the rest…well I mean Louis got the groups…again. But see a certain little green eyed monster going by the name of Cheryl Cole decided that she didn’t like him. And since she shits gold, clearly everyone must follow like cattle to the slaughterhouse. Everyone started bitching about him about how he was bully (calling the kettle black ay Cheryl, Danni)…

Then of course Dannii who is only got the job because she shares the same last name as her sister decides to out him to the public! How INAPPROPRIATE. How would she like it if someone just blurted out that she had a massive yeast infection cottage cheeseing all over the place. But then afterwards been like, “well we were talking/joking about it earlier, so everything’s completely fine!” Of course nobody cares if she has a yeast infection or not, but it’s still personal information that shouldn’t be shared with like 10 million people.

Dannii's Junk

What really gets me is how Miss Cole was always goin’ on about how he was “cocky”. I’m sorry what? I mean she classes herself as some kind of singer (cough Fight for this love, I’d fight to NOT hear that song again) then she should flippin’ know that who you are on stage is different to who you are normally. Beyonce (lookin’ fab in her red lingerie number by the way) has an alter ego named “Sasha (Fierce)” but nobody accuses her of being cocky. She is CONFIDENT. There is a DIFFERENCE.

I find that Brits are all about their humble pie and not being too proud. Hubris is a bad thing, yes. But taking pride in who you are/what you do/what you’ve achieved is natural and GOOD for you, like vitamins.  Nevertheless  Britain is choc full of these “making the star” shows but they don’t really want a star. They want builder Joe you can do his bit then get on with it. NEWSFLASH BRITAIN: THAT’S NOT WHAT A STAR IS! A star has QUALITY, the X-Factor even. They’re supposed to be flashy, charismatic, and most of all GOOD AT WHAT THEY DO! If you don’t want that, then WHY BOTHER? ?!?!?!?!!

My fellow….

I will not make excuses.

I will rant, and sometimes it may go on for ages.

I will probably suffer from insert-foot-in-mouth disease…and talk alotta smack.

I will hopefully make you think…and maybe laugh.

Yours royally!
