Motherfucking Idiots on a Motherfucking Plane. I've been very remiss in my duty to rant at you all once in a while, haven't I? Terrible, really, to think of all the bile and barely contained mild ennui you've been starved of. Anyhow, let me address a couple of issues I really should have commented on before: Passengers decide pair of fellow passengers look a bit dodgy. Bastards. Selfish, arrogant, probably racist bastards. Two guys try to get on a plane, then find out they're getting kicked off because a bunch of dull, bigoted Daily Mail readers decided that the pair - who looked asian or middle eastern - were acting "suspiciously". First up - they looked asian or middle eastern? What, so they could come from anywhere from Turkey to Japan? That's hardly a good reason to piss off folk, is it? That's more than half the world's population there - I think it's fair to say that not all of them are terrorists. Second, what right does anyone but the airline have to say "I'm not letting them on the plane"? Those two paid their money, booked their seats and showed up on time - why should they be penalised? You don't want to fly with someone who looks a bit asian? Get another flight. And, for my second rant... Tom and Jerry edited because Tom smokes a cigar. One guy in the arse-end of nowhere complains because Tom smokes on screen and suddenly it's innappropriate? I watched those cartoons but, for some reason, waited until I'd run out of dope 14 years later before starting smoking, so how exactly does it influence anyone, or send a bad message to kids? How about the racial stereotyping; the horrendous violence or even the episode where the two of them ran around on scaffolding? None of that's a little worse than a cat smoking a cigar? Hell, what about Tom being blown-up by a firework? I'm pretty sure that's been done to way too many unfortunate animals but, funnily enough, no-one complains, so it's ok. Bah. And then the news had an expert talking about how, when it's taken out of an adult context, it's not ok. Out of context? It's a cat. A talking cat. A talking cat who can use complicated tools (well, weapons). And he's smoking a fag? The context it's in is that this is not real. Get over it Mr Concerned From the Arse-End of Nowhere. Hmm.. I never thought Keane were rock and roll enough to bother with drugs. Well, beyond Silk Cut Ultra Low. I now return you to your regularly scheduled apathy. Dave xx
