They wallow in suffering....

A new picture is just emerging. For quite a while now the media have been in love with showing people taking on huge physical feats such as running multiple marathons back to back or other stupid extremes of exercise. These people are held up as examples to us all. They are presented as absolutes or even gods at the pinnacle on human evolution. Or do the media love the idea they are suffering ? Why would I say that ?

The second thing the media are in love with is illness. They revel in reporting anothers disease or terminal condition. It is reported again and again in a god like manner and in an absolute of positiveness oddly. Again a person in turmoil is presented as the ideal and let no man utter anything to the contrary. Just today there was a news report ( and when was this news ? ) that a man was having his 100th radiation session. It was reported in the same way as a man running a 100 marathons in a 100 days would have been presented.

The common denominator here is suffering. The ideal. The reason giver. The beacon we must all dance around. The media are a pleasantly smiling physco sugar coating our suffering. I find it hard to believe they do this unawares and I can accept the first idea is " inspirational " maybe, but they have strayed into spreading this outlook to those with medical problems . And are these people inspirational ? Well not to the majority who are reasonably healthy.....

I recently conversed with a young woman who had decided to work part time as a carer for disadvantaged people. Her enthusiasm quickly waned as she saw how her patients viewed her, especially the older male ones. I shall say no more here.... Ideals rarely translate into satisfaction. The above song by the Eurythmics sums it all up. Everyone has an angle...

Magnum Double Raspberry Advert 2017 | Magnum Ice Cream UK

What is this advert saying ? An ice cream will protect you from sleazy sexual advances ? Funny as Magnum always played on a sexualised style that I will not go into here. And what does the bird symbolise ? Oh, and what a way to portray a man. Fuck them for that as as well.

Seriously ?

Today I found a dog called Lucifer buried in a woodland pet cemetery. Where was this bizarre place ? Why a Buddhist garden of course. Don't you just hate it when that happens ? lol
