Vote Fame!

Boy band Busted have admitted their political leanings are towards to Tories. So what? Who cares? I hear you. Nobody should give a flying fuck about what these retards want to put on their ballot papers. This simple admission by itself should have absolutely no influence on the votes of other people whatsoever.

Therein lies the rub. Thousand of witless idiots are likely to be swayed to move their votes accordingly thanks to these nobodies publicly declaring their political preferences. They will change their votes, and possibly the future history of the entire country, if not all of europe on the whim of some second rate pop-'stars', and nothing more. Firstly, this is why I firmly believe that celebrities should be seen and not heard. Their preferences should be silent, anonymous and secret. Why? Because people are too fucking stupid to decide for themselves what they should do, and far too often look to some easy method of making their own choices.

If these often excessively sentimental muppets had their way, thousands of people would still be dying every year for no other reason than that Saddam Hussein felt like killing people. The images of some stoned twats exclaiming that 'Bush is gonna kill us all man' will forever haunt my memory, because I know that as those words were spoken, millions of people worldwide were gaping in awe at the sheer magnificence of the knowledge being washed onto them like mana from heaven.

But of course, what they were hearing was merely outspoken and likely ill-informed opinion. But that matters not to the lemming masses. The words beaming into their fatuous heads from the all-knowing TV screen are gospell, the very words of God himself, should such a thing exist.

Does nobody else but the politicians themselves understand how powerful and influential these nitwits become when they start spewing their ignorant crap at millions of viewers, millions of voters? The harm their stupidity has the potential to cause will eventually be counted in blood, of that I can guarantee you. This is because people will forever make poor decisions because they allow others to do their thinking for them, with little regard as to the intelligence, knowledge or wisdom of those making their decisions.

Oh, dead clever. People might as well be wired into the fucking matrix, for all the good they are. Practically helpless, while the environment in which they wallow sucks all the usefullness from them while they blissfully live their lives in a world which does not exist. The sheer degree of irony that some of these people then go on to vote in the erroneous belief that they are taking an action which will benefit them cannot be measured.

you're correct in saying that celebrities should not view their political beliefs. i don't mind if they encourage voting or, at least, registering to vote, but keep your damn mouth shut. most celebrities lean towards liberal, which isn't all bad, but sometimes, can be. it's sad that in today's world we actually have to worry about people being swayed by some idiot who is semi-famous.
