Talk
about the amazing abundance of pure rubbish on the net, what I found
could easily win the prize for the most typical of all absurdities.
There's now a Website: whenisbritneygoingtodie.com
The
name of the site tells exactly what it's all about. You enter, give
you identity, and you predict when the problematical pop singer Britney
Spears is going to die. You are supposed to predict the year, the
month, the date and the hour when her demise might take place. You are
even invited to write a pre-condolence to show respect. Respect??? The
grand prize for the winner who predicts everything right will be
awarded a PLayStation 3. I didn't stay on to find out whether there are
runners-up prizes or not. My stomach couldn't stand being on that page
any longer.
The
Welcome page text is plain and unadorned. It started off by saying
that we all have a date with our Creator, sooner or later, but Britney
seems to be in a hurry. Then it gives a brief account of how the singer
started off being a nobody, became soon later the dream of every male
and envy of all hopefuls of being a huge name in the pop world, and her
recent self destructive behaviour. Sort of a mini biography.
Such
an initiative, if one can call it that, gives clues to the mentality,
educational, cultural and social, not only of today's web public, but
those they aim at, the voters, the totally morbid and immoral mind of
certain type of people. An insult to humanity and it's intelligence. As
if her life depends on how long God will keep her, or not, according to
public votes.
To
those of you who can't wait for Britney to die on that specific date,
no doubt fixed to be the soonest possible so that you can get your
grand prize, there's just one question I wish to ask: Is that
PlayStation that important to you, more than the basic human decency?
Before
some of you might want to attack me for speaking out my mind, I want
to remind you that everyone has the right to do what he wishes, and I
am one of the 'Everyone' group, merely exercising my right of freedom
of speech.
