Rise of The Idiots

Every once in a while it gets me down.

See, I have ridiculously high standards of myself.

The thing that terrifies me even more than the inevitable approach of middle age is the prospect of spiralling into mediocrity. It seems like I've spent the last few years struggling to find the right books, the right diet, the right exercise to achieve my physical and intellectual goals to be the best that I can be.

That's something I've striven for since I was the chubby little 13 year old who decided to make an effort to turn his life around.

To be the best student,

The best karateka

The best actor

And now the best teacher.

It irks me enormously, however, when I look out of the window or turn on my TV and see the inescapable truth.

This is a society where mediocrity rules!

Turn on your radio. Flick through a few stations. Can you find any discernible difference between the interchangable R n B acts blathering on and on about what their going to do 'on da floor' or 'in da club'? Poor Rihanna singing yet another song about how she wants to be bent over and violated up the bum on a bed of stinging nettles (because, like, sex sells innit?)? Overproduced garbage conceived by greedy men in offices and performed by clueless teenagers who made more this week than I probably make in a year of teaching.

But then I guess I'm getting old and unable to relate to new trends in music? Fine,let's leave music where it is. Turn on your television.

What do you see?

Do you see actors? If so, does it look like they were chosen for the part their playing because of their ability or their looks? If you're watching a Hollywood film, is there any actress in it who isn't stunning?

Most likely you'll see so called 'reality TV'. A format that gives a national platform to hundreds of people the world over who have absolutely nothing of value to say. Nothing! Fresh faced teenaged boys with shaggy mops of hair oblivious to how cynically Simon Cowell is about to use them. Piers Fucking Morgan still insisting on occupying the same space time continuum as me.

By far the worse offenders are those awful, awful, dreadful, monstrous, vile motherfucking Kardashians. Ugh! The very thought of those shallow, talentless moronic, vain, self absorbed, clueless, inarticulate, narcissistic scumbags makes me want to vomit my lungs out.

Why? For the love of all things decent and Holy WHY??!?!?!??!

Why do I work my heart out night and day in a job I'm deeply passionate about for literally less than a hundredth of Kim Kardashian's annual income?
These are people who don't have jobs, whose only achievement is having wealthy parents and step parents and contribute about as much to the betterment of society as the average crack whore.

The fact that the American public in their thousands tuned in to their inane, self important antics for six seasons absolutely beggars belief.

And don't get me started on this guy....







































Scott Disick is the worst human being in the entire world. A man who has been cataclysmically shit at every cushy job his family has eased him into. A man who models himself on Patrick Bateman despite having never read any book let alone 'American Psycho' which has some very big words in it that would be far beyond his tiny comprehension. A maelstrom of arrogance, self importance, and chauvinism who can barely string a sentence together, yet whose shoes cost more than double what I make in a month. This guy will spunk my annual salary on a watch without thinking twice. He is despised by all who come into contact with him and by virtue of that he is famous beyond the actual limits of human imagination.

It's enough to make me want to devote the rest of my life to the exploration of nuclear fission simply in the hope that I may one day invent a weapon of mass destruction capable of destroying the world's supply of shallow, self regarding cretins who command seven figure incomes and walk around with an immense sense of undeserving entitlement when in any other time in any other place on Earth would be scrubbing Chairman Mao's toilet.

The billions of innocent lives that would be prematurely cut short as a result would be entirely worth it!
