Dr Doom killing us all (well 90%)

04/08/2006

I was over at Zoliblog, reading round and two articles promted me to comment. Funnily enough, the first was about comment censorship, the second was about Dr Doom. So the second comment was not allowed because my IP has been banned or something, which is sad because I quite like his blog, and my first comment was agreeing with him entirely, and I hate comment censorship - although I suppose my two quickfire comments make me look spammy.

Anyway the second article, which i am not allowed to converse on there is Dr Doom Plans to Save the Earth by Wiping out 90% of Humans. But since, once again, I've gone to the trouble and don't want it to just float away into nowhere, I have to talk here in my own safe space :). The story seems to go that this guy views us as a sort of bacteria, draining the planet till everythings gone. His solution is killing off 90% of us. I'm stoked at all this moral outrage, people who are so appalled that someone could actually think THEY should die! Ha! I love the contradiction. Noone cares that they are slowly jamming the world up with landfills, draining our oil supplies, polluting away the air until it's hard to breathe, chopping down the rainforests and coral reefs that sustain life and turn our C02 emissions into the oxygen we need to survive. Because, at the end of the day, we are humans and that essentially makes us god. And as we all know, God can do no wrong, even if he does do wrong. It doesn't matter that we don't mind discriminately killing other people, someone has just THREATEND TO KILL US! Who does he think he is? Does he not realise that we are WHITE? we are RICH? That the planet is NOTHING without us!  Zoli seems like a nice chap, but he is asking for this guy's resignation, he is hoping for his collapse, for daring to tell us that we are killing the planet and to make it survice, 90% of us must die. I think instead of this moral outrage, people should simply take a good inward look and make a few changes in their lives so that the planet can support 10.0000000001% of us, and so on and so on, until we no longer need to kill 90% of us in order to leave things for the rest of the planet's species to enjoy.

Hopefully, hopefully, this very brave man has done something the rest of us weaklings have failed to do: Make it quite clear that we will all die if we continue as we are, that at this rate, the planet can only sustain 10% of us. The shock is incredible.

Myspace

I've never really looked around myspace before, but heard a lot about it. I somehow managed to get a link to 'the most popular girl on myspace' Tilatequila or something and couldn't resist a look at what would make someone the most popular girl on Myspace. Duh! It's the same thing that makes a girl the 'most popular' anywhere - her willingness to pose next to naked in photos and talk about how she loves being a 'hussler'.

I know a lot of parents are full of concern when they sign on to see what their kid is doing online all day, to find out that they are posting revealing photos of themselves alongside details of how to find them. Man I hate it when communities end up putting girls right back in their place - the sex symbols of society, and when girls actually internalise the whole thing and try to be the most sexy girl in the room. Why would you do that to yourself?

I remember going through school with a bunch of girls who thought the same thing, and week in week out delivered themselves on a plate to whoever wanted a bite. By the ripe old age of 17, they were all depressed, had almost zero self confidence, drank far far too much and had set themselves up for a future where they would never experience a relatinship with someone of the opposite sex where they were valued as a person and not as a sex toy.

I'm sure a lot of cool people have interesting Myspace lives (although how they stand to look at those hideous pages and find their way through the site is a mystery to me - let alone how you're meant to communicate with anyone!), but it's fascinating how blatantly this whole world ties together. The movie and music industries pump out near naked girl after near naked girl, inspiring girls to think that is the opitime of cool, then someone launches a communitiy that enables people to generate so much 'virtual' popularity through acting like the famous girls they model themselves off that they too can launch their own pop/modelling/movie career.

Sorry, I don't have any answers for this one, just blatant horror, which, I know isn't very practical.
