Still Life-Oneohtrix Point Never

Has Oneohtrix Point Never become some kind of born again fundamentalist using propaganda videos to get his point across?


Either that or he's havin a laugh at the expense of others. Roll up roll up ...A modern day freak show for you all to see. No exploitation here folks just good clean healthy fun.

*Uh Huh, here's an essay on this video right here. This is what xxxxxxox says in the comments at Rouge's Foam about the essay

 "Its clear that the only point of this smug little uni grad zero books clique is self aggrandizing. You all police culture like your petty little incoherent screeds are remotely interesting to anyone."

I thought that was hilarious and pretty on the ball. Couldn't help but think though 'did xxxxxxox's manuscript get knocked back by Zero Books?' Also couldn't help thinking he was being a culture copper himself.

Back to that video, just look at reality tv though and you'll see how much people love exploitation. People want to be exploited, exploit and watch others exploit and be exploited. Nothing much has changed since the days of freak shows has it? We still love to see the freaky shit don't we? Shows like Embarrassing Bodies and that one about the guy with the massive balls* are popular for a reason. X-Factor, Idol et al have a fair bit of laughing at the unfortunate and the mentally ill. There's big bucks in this shit.

*Was AC/DC's Big Balls the theme tune for that?

Jon Hamm V Kim Kardashian

So the Mad Men actor is slagging off Kim the reality TV star and saying she's an idiot blah blah...Then I thought hang on a minute there Mr Hamm. Mad Men is a show full of unlikable characters doing bad things. The Kardashians could be seen as a bunch of unlikable people doing stupid things. Hmm...There really doesn't seem to be that much difference in the content of each show really. Both shows are tedious and hard to sit through. Both shows are full of shallowness, have an obsession with fashion and guess what? Both shows are only made to raise revenue for their respective owners. Kim Kardashian might come across as someone who will do just about anything for money. What are actors? I hear you say. Well they're people who are paid to do just about anything on a screen. Maybe Mr Hamm needs a dose of reality about what he really is. That being a commodity to sell stuff in the same way Kim Kardashian is. So who's the real idiot? At least Kim knows what she is.
Jon's Hamm
Kim Kardashian's
