Fuck Baillie!

Ok, well I'm writing this for two reasons. Firstly, it's a warm up to start writing something else, plus an excuse to get this bint off my chest.

Georgina Baillie, what the fuck is up with this obscenely fame-hungry social succubus.

I'm just trying to level up the hypocrisy in what she has been doing. She, of course, is now known as the person at the centre of the Brand/Ross/Manuel scandal. But why is she there?

Let's weigh up the facts here. Brand and Ross made some obscene phone-calls to so-called 'national treasure' Andrew Sachs. Ross made the comment about Brand sleeping with his granddaughter and then they sang him a song as an apology. Not really much there to be honest. Only two people complained when it was broadcast. That was until the fetus-munching cretins of the national press got involved and that 2 became thousands within days.

Of course, what they printed in their rags was what I have just told you. Yes, it is complain worthy at first glance but what they left out of their reports was, literally, journalism. They didn't give a single mention of any additional information concerning the story. This included the oh-so minor fact that Brand DID sleep with Baillie. There was no libel case here because the accusations made were true. And that Andrew Sachs did not what the issue to go any further (after all, they only called him because he was due to appear on Brand's show and did not turn with letting them know).

The only reason this spun way out of hand was due to the aforementioned self proclaimed Satanic slut Georgina Baillie. A possible living life-lesson in the making, as of course we are used to see people who act like this in films get their comeuppance sooner or later.

Ok, yeah, she was 'offended' by the remarks made. God knows why. But then she has the tenacity to strip off for Zoo magazine. Fucking topless in one the cheapest, nastiest, wouldn't-buy-it-even-if-an-immediate-wank-was-needed-or-my-balls-would-explode magazines on the rack of magazines for men who are afraid of vaginas. 'How dare you make remarks about my sex life on national radio... but here's my tits!'

As far as I am concerned Georgina Baillie has cost two talented people their jobs and had one of the most hard-working men in TV suspended from his contract. For an incident that shouldn't have gone anywhere.

So if you were one of those people that complained dispite never hearing what was said, Fuck off and next time why not turning over the channel and watching something that doesn't offend you. After all, we all have to watch TV and some of us aren't so put off by something as stupid as all this.

Chinese Democracy

Well, I am currently listening to a preview copy of the new Guns n Roses album 'Chinese Democracy'. I am only a few songs in but there is one thing that I can't help but notice about this album. Axl Rose has pulled a Madonna. I know that may not make the most sense so I'll explain.

I was watching some trashy MTV show a few years ago and the TV bint was talking about Madonna and how she 'reinvented' herself by following the contemporary sound of that particular time in music. In other words, Madonna rips off other popular artists in order to shift records.

Now if we take this ethos to Chinese Democracy, you can hear direct rip offs in almost every song (Ironically enough, Velvet Revolver seems to be the main influence on title track 'Chinese Democracy' and 'Shakler's Revenge' could easily have been a Rob Zombie outake. Hell, even 'Streets of Dreams' has a Caleb from Kings of Leon vocal style to it).

Aside from the musical plagerism, I find it very difficult to hate this album. It took 14 years, $13 million and a flood of changing band members to make it, so it really should be the best damn album ever (in theory). But its not. To be honest, it feels like an album which would have been forgotten about by Christmas just because it lacks any really effort. If it was going to go anywhere, it would have needed more potential than 'Appitite for Destruction'.

Instead, its a mediocre recording with ever questionable vocals from Axl Rose and a 'cut and pasting' of the most popular rock genres of the last decade. But at least it has a better production job than 'Death Magnetic'.

Real-Life Metaphor

Today, I experienced a real life metaphor. I had to trim the edges of two doors in the house so they fitted in the frame. One of them had never fit its frame, while the other had only recently started to sink closer to the floor.

Now for the metaphor, in its full beard-stroking glory: Fix a door that once held its frame is easy, Fix a door that never held its frame takes an hour and makes you miss The Simpsons.

I'm not sure when in life this metaphor fits, but any ideas, answers on a postcard.
