Goths, Alan Carr
My Welsh friend, Thor, the God of Thunder, told me when last we met that he had once been standing on a crowded train in a carriage where
Alan Carr was sitting, and, next to him, near the doors of the carriage was a spotty, greasy-haired, approximately sixteen-year-old goth, with his girlfriend. The goth was, for some reason, looking in Alan Carr's direction and saying, "I can't wait to get out of this carriage, it's a bit GAY in here", and repeating similar phrases, each time with the word 'gay' in block capitals. His girlfriend, apparently, was tittering uncomfortably, and Alan Carr, if I remember the account correctly, was looking miffed but long-suffering, perhaps rolling his eyes.
And I thought that all goths were depressive fags. Apparently some of them are jocks. How disappointing.

Goths, Britain
I don't feel like being articulate about this, but I've just read
this news story. I honestly have no words to express what this kind of thing makes me feel. Let me say then, a few things that I'm not. I'm not impressed by the bullies in this incident. I'm not at all inclined to feel sympathetic towards them or rush to their defence. I'm not apologetic about seeing them as ignorant scum who should be sterilised. I'm not inclined, either, to view them as an isolated minority, but rather to view them as the cold, evil heart of British culture. Britain, which brought the world industry, mass-production and generally laid the groundwork for the cynical, materialistic consumerism that makes the world go round today. Britain which has produced young people who have nothing to believe in any more and no soul left, only a sneering, murderous, snobbish, shallow hatred of all otherness and a very mistaken belief in their own cleverness and betterness.
(PS. I was right again about
Southpark being boring by attacking Goths, wasn't I? People should listen to me more often.)
