Now there's a girl that'd really get my vote
27 January 2010
Have you seen KoobaTV? It seems the boys haven't produced anything recently so have resorted to posting amusing clips of 1950s Americana. (It should really be United-States-a, because America is a CONTINENT that's home to many INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, but that would be a rubbish word.)
The latest one features the back of Jerry's head, Carolyn who may or may not have been involved in some kind of scandal, a lesbian banging at the closet door, and a horny young man who calls his cock his 'vote' and looks something like a stretched out Bill Murray. The latter also annoyed me by saying 'math class' instead of mathS class'. Do US citizens do mathematic? No, they do fucking mathematics like the rest of us. Our ancestors weren't happy with having a 'new' continent, they had to alter the language too. Splitters. Murderous, raping splitters.
If you enjoy the clips, I recommend the film Reefer Madness. It was intended as a warning to parents about the oh-so-frightening dangers of cannabis use, but was bought, re-cut and distributed as an 'exploitation' film. Today it's sold as an invaluable piece of comedy, suggesting as it does that otherwise balanced middle class youngsters will become thieves, murderers and rapists once they smoke the deadly weed.
Another, similar film I saw once had guys scratching at their arms and sweating in their 'need for weed' after having smoked half a joint the previous day. It ended with the 'pusher' crashing his car. Whilst he lay in the wreckage - which had caught fire - bleeding, the cop stood at the top of the embankment with some local youths, surveying the destruction that is so often wreaked by the most evil of drugs. He said to the kids, "See what can happen when you smoke marijuana?", and turned his back on the dying hoodlum.
What a message. What a culture. What a country.
