- [Critics]
-
- Something that always amazes me when I read my morning
- paper is the amount of critics that get to write in it.
- They complain about how bad some movie or play they
- have seen is. And they go on and on about how bad it
- was. I wonder if they have a template where they just
- fill in the name of the movie or the play and then change
- some of the words so that no one will notice the
- difference. Here in Europe it is almost as if it was
- forbidden to write a good review of a movie produced in
- the USA.
- Also, they review books "for us". The thought is perhaps to
- spare us from the books that are badly written or just
- plain garbage. I wonder if it has ever occurred to any
- of the critics that people have different taste. I wonder
- why people read their fucking articles at all! How can
- they possibly think that one person that they have never
- met is capable of judging what they should read, what is
- shit and what is not?
- I believe that this is a major symptom of the bug that
- our society has catched. Papers and TV-companies actually
- have people employed to think for us! Critics do not have
- any function in our society. When the critics write their
- articles, they are not doing it because they think that
- some author or some movie director could perhaps do a
- better job if they write some constructive criticism, no
- they write their stuff because they want to prove to us
- "dumb" people that they are intellectual, and capable of
- doing a much better job if they wanted to.
- For example, Ace Of Base (ok ok, perhaps you don't like
- them, just wait though) is being seriously targeted here in
- Sweden by our "music-critics". They write all sorts of
- stuff about this band, how bad they play, how ugly they
- are, how bad their choreographic is.
-
- How come they sell so good?
-
- Some people like them!
-
- Not the critics though!
-
- Why?
-
- BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST PLAIN JEALOUS LOSERS!
-
- A lot of people read their articles and form some kind of
- opinion about this band after they have read it - but
- before they have actually heard the music. Or people trust
- the critics because they are so smart and successful so
- they get to write stuff in a magazine. We all know that
- everything printed in a paper is always true, right?
- Perhaps Ace Of Base isn't one of my personal favorites, but
- they do deserve to get a fair chance - like everyone else.
- Imagine what you might have missed all these years because
- you have listened to some of these losers! There might
- be some really good music or some really good books you
- have not read because a sucker wrote it down totally. Maybe
- he had a bad day when he wrote the review. Maybe his wife
- left him. Maybe his cat got pregnant - by the dog. Maybe he
- got a positive AIDS-test back.
- Maybe he is just a jealous loser.
