Stig Of The Dump: Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one & yours is full of shit…
It dawned on me recently that i hadn’t offered my oh so sought after & terribly written opinion on completely un-important bullshit for a long time. Having chosen to ignore the fact that no one actually cares & instead opted to stick with the self delusion that, as a representative of the people (the miserable, misanthropic, self rightious… people) my opinion is not only sought after but indeed needed, where would the world be if it weren’t for the gems of life coaching & force fed hatred i serve up so eloquently… Fucked that’s where. Consider this like a modern day Holy Bible, not only can you misinterpret it & regurgitate chunks of it to judge others but it is also packed with double standards & much like the King James version, changed to suit me, all with another fat beardy white guy who looks down on mankind. The only thing missing is a talking snake (avoiding the obviously playground dick joke).
One of the subjects I’ve decided the world need’s to know what they should think about, is the XFactormas number 1 dispute raging at the time of writing. For the lucky few who are able to live life in the real world instead of through the internet like the rest of us self loathing or blindly ignorant idiots, a Facebook group set up to rebel against the currently “X Factor” dictated Christmas number 1 by boycotting Simon Cowell’s latest puppet & buying Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The Name Of” has garnered HUGE support. Support from celebs such as radio 1’s pudding faced voice of the brain dead, DJ Chris Moyles and R.A.T.M’s own, completely impartial guitarist Tom Morello to thousands of group members & like minded idiots with no genuine struggle or hardship of their own to worry about (oh & no doubt an equally large number of dumbed down people who DO have more important things to worry about but are all too easily distracted by shiny things, colourful patterns or Freinds & the malnourished jaundiced gash on Hollyoak’s).
My problem isnt with the backlash against manufactured, disposable, shallow pop music or even the GENIUSES who set up the face book group having placed bets with bookies before hand @ astronomical odds. My problem is with the army of Sheep in Wolves clothing. Whordes of woolly covered followers bleating away, fully oblivious to the fact that they are the same mindless followers of fashion who appear to be unaware that “Killing In The Name Of” & the X Factor winners song, which i refuse to find out the name of, are both owned by Sony Music Entertainment, with R.A.T.M being on Epic & the X Factor winner on Simon Cowell’s Syco Music, both subsidiaries of Sony. Avoiding getting lost in discussing weather R.A.T.M being on Sony is Raging Against The Machine they are owned by or weather it is making sacrifice & dancing with the Devil to push to a wider audience BLAH BLAH BLAH… i personally LOVE the track & play it @ the end of every show i do.. The fact is we live in a capitalist world, a world full of mindless followers who want the new shiney thing as long as its faster, cheaper, more shiney & bigger or smaller depending on context, than the last shiney thing. Those are the idiots who listen to mainstream day time radio, those are the target audience of bullshit mainstream T.V, they are the same fuck nuts who followed X Factor from the start & voted in their MILLIONS for a winner, despite not voting to save our civil liberties when anti terrorist laws were brought in allowing the police to stop & search without reasonable suspicion.
I generally avoid watching Barney or Teletubbies due to the painfully nauseating music involved & employing the same freedom of choice, i avoid the mainstream radio stations, so why the fuck do i care which hollow, vacuous, characterless voice is Christmas number 1. If your anything like me you will be about as interested in the winner of the race for Christmas number one as you are in listening to the Queen drivel on about 2009 like the out of touch, irrelevant & dated old fuck that she is… instead trying to get through the wrong date of celebration for the son of an imaginary wizard’s birthday without drinking your way through the forced conversation at dinner, all the while day dreaming about shanking your own folks in the neck with a broken Turkey shin.
Also, much as i love to hate on all these soulless, fame junkies clogging up our airwaves more than most, the simple fact is YOU CAN TURN YOUR RADIO OFF, my hating on them is from the angle of a starving artist, its like your local family run organic produce corner store hating on a conglomerate GM Tesco’s.. its different, its allowed but you lot are the ones who hold the magic key, CHOICE.. if you don’t like whats played on the radio TURN THE FUCKING THING OFF you self indulgent moaning, bloated cunts… and more to the point, why the fuck is everyone suddenly jumping on the band wagon just because its Christmas… Once the walking Coca Cola advert that is Santa has fucked off so will the false sense of hope & good will & those desperate nobodies you buy magazine after magazine to read about will still ruin the charts, stupid people will still be the majority & you will have made about as much difference as a scented tea light in a raging shit fest of a sewer.. breath it in you failing bunch of useless bastards.
If you find any holes in my argument feel free to point them out in your own blogg which much like my obvious mental health problems & impending early demise, i will be completely ignoring in favour of doing whatever the fuck i want.
That’s the cobwebs dusted off, you’ve been a terrible audience… goodnight.

I think it’s quite amusing and ironic how all these people decide to follow some random figure on facecrack, especially when killing in the name of clearly says in the lyrics: ‘fuck you i won’t do what you tell me’. What surprises me too is the fact rage against the machine are supporting it too, then again, they are on sony so it probably defeats the whole point of the song.
When I first saw the group I did think ‘that’s a cool idea’ till second thoughts came to me with the fact that the idea born in someone’s mind is nurtured by a thousand blind. It takes the piss how any of these people ever considered getting that song to number 1 would in any form be revolutionary, just functioned as another proof of the oxymoron us humans are.
I couldn’t help but allow a wry smile to grace my usually stern mug when i heard that Rage won the race & were the Christams #1 but i stand by what i said, it will have no knock on effects, all that it achieved is keeping one pop bitch off the top spot for a brief period. As with the hollow festive cheer & good will to all men… it will be forgotten about come January 2nd & every thing will revert back to the shit fest it has always been, people are hyping it like its a monumental victory for genuine music.. except for a few sad individuals who are running with it being “just a little bit of fun” but if thats where your catharsis comes from your a grey boring bastard who is beyond saving & you should probably just get back to that uneventful slow dragging stop gap before death you call a life, with your Hollyoak’s, Carling beer & Nuts Magazine…….. & shut the fuck up.
I don’t consider it a little bit of fun or a victory for genuine music. What’s hard to understand is how what was done would change anything, which it has but only temporarily. It did make me smile as well when I heard it got to number 1 but then that’s affected by the fact everything will revert back. I’m pretty sure the same happened in 2004 when they got ‘mad world’ to be number 1 on chritsmas and not a lot happened after. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t know how to take on the result, but it’s interesting to talk about.
