That’s fucking stupid

When I was a kid we were subjected to fables and parables in assembly at primary school. I used to doubt the value of teaching a child anything that required a made up story to illustrate it; surely there are enough examples in real life to illustrate every important lesson?

My favourite fable was the emperor’s new clothes because I have never had much faith for the intelligence of large groups of people. As it happens the story is quite relevant at the moment because the popularity of that whinging bint, Amy Winehouse, is a perfect example of how people can be fooled into thinking something is good when in fact it does not exist; I am taking of course about her talent. Amy Winehouse has failed to turn up to a number of gigs and causes a whole load of ‘controversy’ in the middle class shit papers but people still argue that she is a wonderful performer and extremely talented when she actually does make it onto stage (between visits to her husband in chokey).

Sorry, but she’s shit. Let’s just move on and find someone who is:

a) talented

b) able to stay sober long enough to get through a concert

It’s not that difficult as there are hundreds of people more talented than her.
