Chock! Horror! Catastrophe!
How to lose all sense of perspective (lesson one)
Chock-horror-catastrophe. Those were the words the speaker used when Vanaudenaerde scored the first goal in Bruges-Roma yesterday. Those were almost the words used during the game Clijsters-Golovin when our Kim lost the first set.
(By the way: our Kim is sick of it. She's sick of making a squilion dollar per year for beating a piece of wood against an airinflated little yellow chick. She's sick of all the injuries her hips have to endure. She's sick of all the taxes she has to pay. Well, I'm sick of your whining, bitch. If your hips hurts, tell your six inch...uhm...six foot boyfriend to slow down, go to a surgeon and get a new pair of hips. We all know you can afford them. Maybe you can get a cute pair, for once)
But lets get back to our main issue here: the horror of a twenty year old getting an inflated piece of leather (for the upcoming Worldcup, these things got a German name: Zeitgeist or Third Reich, I don't quite remember) on his head and thus accidentally setting said object in a hyperbolic trajectory over said twenty year olds goalkeeper into the net . Oooooh, the end is near now. Do these four fuckers on horses riding in the distance spell bad news or what?
Let me spell it out to you: an own-goal in a UEFA-cup game means fuck all. It won't even make the annual review of Footballmagazine, let alone be taught about in school in the year 2798 PB (post-Bietje, morons!).
You know in which phrase the words horror, chock and catastrophe may apply? I'll give you an example:
"I was filled with horror when I saw the pictures of US and UK-soldiers raping, murdering and humiliating Iraqi civilians. The chock that went through me when I heard that these pictures aren't allowed on American television, hasn't worn off yet. I think we're heading for catastrophe if we let the world be ruled by a totalitarian regime, claiming to spread democracy, but in fact only spreading hatred and unchecked consumerism, capitalism and bad taste."
But then of course, these issues never make the headline of our media. Go back to sleep people, it'll all work out...
