  • APE-LIKE FAME


      
      


    Like the bleeding, armoured arthropod the child puts into his temporarily constructed insect collection - the man of this vile age collects trophies, pathetic medals. He does not even notice until his hands have made ten thousand of his antique stars of fame shine. They have always possessed and skimmed the wealth of others as rich catches, while at sacred feasts worthy of emperors they bathed in debauched orgies, like blood-growing brutes, out of themselves, greedy wolves, their dead and drunken memories have concocted for themselves embellished, syrupy images of desire. 

    The autumn creation myth has been recreated and proclaimed by testosterone-infused titans, exotic divas, who are the toasties of a healthy lifestyle, but who marinate in the world of gyms for twenty-four hours a day. Whether it's the rampant, decadent superficiality: boorish tackiness is now everywhere, or the overblown pop-culture celebism. Who is doing what and how? 

    Brainwashed brains are being cleaved again and again, and everyone is drawn to cheap acquaintance; that's why superficial nobodies practically dominate a significant proportion of the tabloid channels. Life-swapping reality TV chaos, as if everyone has been transformed into a grinning lab rat. They build internal lighthouses as walls around themselves, because they are permanently terrified of the revenge of their real, unmasked face-masks. 

    Like the temporary or even chronic fools - they nod in vehement agreement, like nodding Johns, so that their truer, more vulnerable being may remain unmasked to the public!
