Millions and millions of flies like shit


Huge popularity does not warrant worth. Lots of things liked by millions are downright trash. Sometimes realising that makes me feel like such an outsider.

Everybody is raving about Harry Potter. Duh. Nobody seems to notice that it is but lacklustre third-grade hogwash that will be forgotten as soon as the marketing budget had run out. Luckily, English literature has produced such an enormous amount of genius children books that nothing can spoil its reputation.

O
r take Lion King, the musical. The only good thing about the show is the costumes and the wacko African lady. The rest would be utterly forgettable if I didn't have to fork out 65 blooming quid for my ticket, thus partially funding Elton John's hair transplant surgery.


Another worldwide craze that seems to affect tens of millions of people, Big Brother. Why would shameful antics of desperate low-lifes attract so much attention and debate?


Or the greatest hack of modern days, Dan Brown. People, can't you see his books for what they are? "Arse gravy of the worst kind" to quote Stephen Fry. I am glad I have him on my side on this one.

Millions of flies do like s**t. They were called Obama voters and packed stadiums like lemmings to listen to Him speak.
