Bullet loses to the Bra!

People like David Icke, Alex Jones & Peter Joseph have always been someone whom I follow quite closely. These people and their conspiracy theories are truly amazing. I hold my own array of beliefs and I am very subtle with it. I enjoy the documentaries, I read the journals and press releases but I always keep my thoughts to myself as it is quite a revolting topic and I have come across some supposedly very “practical” and “scientifically” sound people who only can use force and volume to win any debate within the first ten seconds. Losers!

One very fascinating theory is the one including the media. The cover up, the derail, the disaster. This to me is not even a theory. I heard about Rupert Murdoch when I was 8! Since then the media moguls always have fascinated me because the only truth we ever get to know to any situation and I mean any situation to which we are alien is through the media. We all get up and we read newspapers. Most of us do. Ok sorry, most of you do. We read a lot of newspapers and we read so many other things, on the way to work we listen to radio, we watch TV every chance we get and every single time we would have learned something more about something new or old and then we take it and live with it. We discuss it, we debate it, and we rely on it. Ever questioned it? And by that I don’t mean having an opinion about what the matter says but have you ever questioned the source? The motive? The reason as to why we should know it? If it is really important? If it is true? And is it necessary?

No! Of course not! We have been reading some publication for long enough that it makes not only absolute sense but pure truth. What it says is what we swear by! Right or wrong is immaterial, it’s just whether the media said it or not.

This brings me to my topic, why am I wasting so much time writing about something which might not reach anyone at all. But I will, I want to try and I somehow have this hunch that someone or maybe many will agree to me.

In Birmingham, UK where I am currently based, there is a big bull made of metal just like the Wall Street bull in the city centre. This is nothing in comparison to the menacing Wall Street bull and looks like a happy, funny and friendly big bull that’s a darling to everyone who walks by. There are thousands of people who take pictures alongside it and I have once got on top of it but I was off my head after a party at the University. Now a couple of weeks back someone just like me was of his head and unlike me did not just cuddle and play with the artificial bull but scratched it a bit. Bloody vandal!

OK, he did it. You have the city council that is meant to fix it. I don’t think anyone would be bothered if a bull which weighs many tons has a slightly scarred bottom. Yes it is an iconic bull but for crying out loud! Patch it up, catch the guy, lamp him, send him home, moan about the expenditure and it’s all sorted.
No this bull made headlines! I am lying if I say headlines as it made the front page! The whole front page was about the bull which had a scratch up its buttocks and the whole city of loonies felt bad for the bull. How many people felt bad for the soldiers who died in Afghanistan? Yeah right I know, “Did someone die?” That’s the question people will ask you. Just a 5 line never to be seen column on page 5 for people who are actually heroes!

I always try and keep up with the news in India and I am pretty good at it I should say. I alerted my parents and brother about the serial bomb blasts in Bangalore. That’s how frequently I update myself. But anything short of a series of bomb blasts will not make the news.

I was watching Star News which happens to be a part of Rupert Murdoch’s Newscorp a couple of days back and the most important piece of news which was repeated again and again and again was that some movie producer got drunk and fondled some woman! Really! Is that news! This is something which most of us would have even seen live! Rich people all over the world abusing everything around them. And then there are channels like Star which nearly the whole of India watches glorifying this news! Yes we have provided food and shelter to all the billion people, sorted the situation with Pakistan, have 100% employment and literacy, no one dies for or against the country, no widespread diseases, no problem at all so that the whole nation can focus on some rogue getting pissed and fondling someone else who did not even have a valid reason to be there! This is media. This is for the people, by the people and this is how we assert out independence and democracy and we voice our rights and concerns!

I was actually unfortunately lucky to have been in India and then come to the UK at the right time when the fiasco between Jade Goody and Shilpa Shetty was at its peak! Racism, yeah right! And then there is the media follow up. The media here went crazy over it and hurled ‘such’ abuse at Jade that if I was her then I would have had a sex change, relocated to Cuba and worked as a hooker. And then she was diagnosed with cancer. And who is Jade Goody, she is someone who went on a reality TV show, stripped naked and became someone who got royal respects and prime ministerial condolences on death and in the due course made millions on the pretext of better future for her children which her husband is literally blowing up as of today.

I have nothing against her for being a little opportunistic and we all are. Anyone who says no is lying and not ‘man’ enough to own it up. But literally for months and days even after she passed away the papers and TV and radio were just her. I have counted that since her coverage began that she has sneezed 645 times and this I know because we have the free press who really think this is important. I have nothing against her but a lot of people rather most of the people in this world die of cancer. She did not have a choice either. There are soldiers who have a choice but take the tougher one so that we can be free and report on how Jordan broke up with Peter Andre and the whole nation can cry as it does not have to worry that some bearded terrorist could cause havoc with any flying thing as there is some brainless soldier somewhere in this world who risks and bets his life against it!

I had once watched an Indian news channel and there was some minor bomb blast and the reporter said luckily only 6 people died and thanked god it was not worse. Really? Imagine those 6 people were from your family you freak! Is this how we value life? A celebrity who is only there because of our stupidity and devotion is more important than someone who loses his life in a very scary and unfortunate way!

I can go on and on about how angry and agitated I am with the media today but I don’t see as to why should I as I know most of you would still like to read about the colour of Britney’s bra than the name of someone who is in a way of responsible for you to be free and even alive!

I have made up my mind that if I was ever to be given a choice, instead of putting myself to risk and gaining respect from a very small group of people I would rather be a blond bimbo with a massive rack and I would wear a bright bikini and I can take a punt that I will make more news than the true soldier. His bullet will lose to my bra!

Before I end I want to thank every single soldier everywhere in this world who since my birth has kept me free and alive. If not for you I would not even been able to write this blog today. I feel bad for every single soldier who has died in India, UK, everywhere around the world for the right cause. I also apologise on behalf of the media whom I am pretty sure you would hate more than the Taliban. Respect to everyone who has kept me alive. I thank you.

Can someone let me know if Ekta Kapoor is running Star News as well now? Seems so!

And writing this I forgot that I had put some potatoes in the oven. They would be burnt now, when I open the oven the smoke alarm will kick off, I have no other food left and I will sleep hungry!

Oh for crying out loud! Yet again!
