Je-e-eeuss! I feel another rant coming along! This blog is probably going to end up deteriorating into angry, barely coherent, opinionated rage literature (much like my previous blog). However I felt compelled to write down what has been bothering me in the last 10 minutes for cathartic reasons only so hopefully this won't become a habit.
Around 10-15 minutes ago I was happily doing some coursework, specifically an essay on trauma. As you can imagine it isn't the most pleasant or socially endearing subject to write about. The module has introduced me to quite a lot of bleak and graphic texts as well as some historical atrocities I was previously unaware of. Whilst it's depressing I find it interesting and enjoy studying about it...

Anyway here I was minding my own business, completely oblivious to anything else going on in the world other than the Crosby, Stills and Nash soundtrack keeping me going when my good friend Thomas sends me this rather amusing link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO3SDlIivcQ. It depicts one of our national treasures Rowan Atkinson donning priest attire and pretending to be the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury (all in the name of charity). I won't say anymore about it as you can just watch the link.
After watching it I decided to browse through the comments, and to my surprise (rolls eyes) I see a few unhappy youtubers comments. One man blaming the economic crisis in the UK on gay liberal elite elites... Not really sure how the two coincide but you never really find any arguments of worth on Youtube anyway. I then saw a link to the BBC news page disclosing the amount of complaints this particular segment from the Children in Need program received. Over 2,200! A quarter of which were from religious nuts and the rest seemed to be largely due to nasty language pre-watershed.

Now I don't know if it's because I was immersed within the world of trauma or whether it's just something that would bother me anyway but the article just made my blood boil!
First off. It was a joke! Secondly It was for Charity! How can you complain about someones attempt to make you laugh in an effort to raise money for children who are dying!
The most vulgar thing he said was 'shag' which your child will either understand perfectly or have no understanding of whatsoever. Either way who cares. It's a fucking word no one gets hurt no has had their legs blown off stepping on the word 'shag'. The kids and parents who need the money comic relief aims to get would actively embrace a barrage of swear words as an alternative to getting shot at and shelled all day. I'm sick of people protecting their little cherubs from 'nasty words' and 'scary films' like they're gods gift to earth. Most of those kids will grow up to be pricks anyway and it's the medias and the parents fault!
Those shits who complained should be more concerned with the Hollywood mentality that's being fed to their children teaching them to grow up with expectations of becoming super 'attractive', super wealthy, popular spoilt shits! Fuck I hate the world sometimes!
I'm not going to even bother having a rant about religion because it's not worth the fucking time. It's all bollocks though!
FUCK!
