bend it

then stick it up your ass. or beckham's ass.

everyone's making a huge deal about beckham and his lame ass spice-wife coming to america (doesn't she even have some tv show about it or something?!). personally, i liked coming to america better the first time when eddie murphy was involved. they've even gone so far as to make that lame commercial where all the people in europe are crying reading about him leaving, then there's some inspirational message to us telling us to embrace beckham.

who fucking cares? first of all, he plays SOCCER. last time i checked, americans don't give a fuck about soccer. it almost makes the headlines when the world cup is going on, but then the US goes 0-4 or whatever and we forget it exists again. but this isn't even the world cup. he's coming to play on the LA galaxy. in some obscure american soccer league. that americans don't care about. so they probably shouldn't try to make us care about it, because we won't.

the only people who care about beckham's arrival are the soccer league itself, people obsessed with the fact that he's being paid a ridiculous amount to play something americans dont want to watch, or people obsessed with celebrity. because let's face it, this arrival is more about the celebrity of beckham and his wife than it is about soccer.

are americans so stupid that we need to be told who/what to like? well, i don't doubt that many are. and i bet this whole thing will somewhat work. but the result will be short-lived before our attention wanes (after all, the only thing americans can focus on these days is themselves and food). but right after themselves and food comes celebrity for some ridiculous reason. everyone is obsessed with celebrities and want to live that life and be with them until they actually are, at which point they completely breakdown and complain about lack of privacy, then downward spiral into ridiculousness (see: britney spears). and then we're supposed to feel sorry for them. hahahaha, yeah right. that's like feeling sorry for people who run with the bulls then get gored. bitch please.
