" More? MORE! Why the fuck should I type my fingers to the bone, just so that you idle bunch of wankers can giggle over my spelling mistakes and tedious remarks? Why don't you write your own rants. You can do it! It is easy if you try, don't let the neo-communistic-fascistic military-entertainment- industrial complex dictate to you how you are to be entertained with simplistic and repetitive pre-digested entertainment chunks served up into neat little advertisement separators with mandatory merchandising that encourages you to see that the only worthwhile form of existence can be defined as constant consumption, that there is always one more inanely-sloganed t-shirt, one more pointless toy, one more commemorative mug. For you know deep down in your heart that the only thing that matters about each and everyone one of us is that we are defined by what we buy, that our goods are us. And you dared to laugh at the primitive superstitions that made it vital for the dead chieftain or pharaoh to be surrounded by his Earthly goods in his grave, as you sit there surrounded by all your useless tat that the adverts sincerely pledged would lead you personally to the promised land here on Earth. This hot weather makes me *so* fucking irritable.
