It has appeared in some British newspapers over the last few weeks that I am going to be appearing on ‘Celebrity' Big Brother. For readers outside the UK, this is a television programme in which people live together in a ‘house' while being filmed 24 hours a day and the public vote for who they consider to be the ‘winner'.
They are airing a ‘celebrity' version of this over two weeks in January on the UK's Channel 4 and people have been asking me wherever I go if it is true that I am going to be on this show. The answer is NO. I am not going to appear on the programme and never was.
They approached me two months ago and I met them to see if this shite could possibly be a vehicle for getting across information that the mainstream media won't touch; but I quickly realised that this would not be the case and had no interest in appearing on the show.
I am up to here with the pseudo-celebrity bollocks that infests television, magazines and newspapers. Everywhere it is ‘celebrity' this, ‘celebrity' that. The cult of celebrity is the new religion which, like the old, is designed to keep the masses mesmerised by irrelevant trash while the global fascist state is constructed unseen all around them.
I am not a ‘celebrity' and I am interested in the REAL Big Brother, not adding to the diversions that allow him to operate unchallenged.
The ridiculous thing is that over the weeks while some newspapers have speculated on whether I will appear on the show, and indeed said that I would, none of them have ever asked … me.
Ain't the media great?
