So the other night I happened to be in a room while the final of Britain's Got Talent was taking place. Now, I hate all this kind of rubbish. I think it's a horrible, air-headed and consumer led type of program that fosters self-entitlement and laziness, cruelly crushes people and creates 'stars' out of some of the worst sorts of people. The whole thing is a complete fix and robs people of their money and Saturday nights.
Anyway, during the final, something funny happened. A woman from the orchestra of one of the acts ran up to the front and hucked eggs at the judges. I love shit like this. I love all the unscripted stuff and took to Twitter to find out more. Who was this daring person?
Among the waste of time Tweets (I luf dat singer boy, sooooo hot #wudwelljumphim) there was a few people commenting on it. However, during this time the show came to a close and was won by a group called Attraction. A group of Hungarian dancers who use a silhouette style to make shapes and while I thought their performance in the final was pretty meh, I'd seen an earlier effort on Facebook which was very good. As I mentioned, the show is fixed and you can already see that this group has potential to go on and be the next Cirque du Soliel, making the execs very rich indeed. From what I saw, they did appear to be the best if not the most innovative.
Twitter was not happy.
The 'I'm not racist but..." comments began to come out, a prefix I find absolutely abhorrent. 'It's called Britain's Got Talent, not Eastern Europe's Got Talent, fuck off back to your gipsy caravans.' All kinds of racist and awful things, said usually without the slightest hint of realisation of how xenophobic they were. Many also had a go 'Gangnam Style' singer Psy, complaining again that Psy, being South Korean, has no right to be on BGT. No one seemed to have an issue with American singer Taylor Swift's presence, presumably as she's white, quite pretty and most importantly, not from a place British people love feel superior over.
I find stuff like this so crushingly horrible that it depresses me. What is the matter with people? They seemed so angry? It's a television program! There are much bigger things in the world than this! If you put half as much energy into something than you do moaning on Twitter at the results of a pre-determined television competition you could actually achieve something. You could probably win the fucking competition yourself.
When Britain really showed how much talent it had in last years Olympics, a lot of it was because of ethnically non-British people.
This again follows the hordes of disgusting racist remarks that followed the tragic beheading of the soldier in Woolwich, which again led Twitter to marginalise approximately a third of the entire world.
We truly live in a country that fosters the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' attitude. Don't get wound up about real world events like Syria, Turkey or the fact that we are living in a country that is illegally spying on all of us, and most of us don't even care.
Without sounding dramatic, people need to wake up and think about the important things in life instead of caring about this insignificant things.
And finally, egg throwing lady. It turned out, you are just as bad as the rest of them by apologising. Just keep your story; they are terrible people. But no, apologising to avoid any further issue suits your purpose as you've grabbed your little 15 minutes too.
