Ideas For The Next Decade...
1: Bono, Sting, and all the other "great and good musos" dig into THEIR pockets and pay to fix the world's problems, instead of expecting US, the cash-strapped consumers, to shell out every time. Sting could save huge chunks of the rain-forest if he just stood up AND BOUGHT THEM. You want justice in Africa, Bono? You go and unseat Mugabe - I DARE YOU.
2: No more vampire movies. No more zombie movies. Give it a rest, willya? Let's give Guillermo Del Toro the cash he needs to make At The Mountains Of Madness, okay?
3: A Cure For Obesity. Not fashionable enough? Neither are the victims, and don't they know it. A cure for cancer is everyone's dream, but if you switch off the tendancy for obesity, away go a lot of causes of preventable cancers, diabetes, joint replacements...
4: Comics Become Affordable Again. $4 for a regular comic book? You have GOT to be KIDDING. Oh, no, they're that expensive already. Madness.
5: Britain To Produce A High-Concept Sci-Fi Movie - and not "Trainspotting 2045AD". The talent is there. The technology is there. Stop pandering to the art-house elite. A proper THUNDERBIRDS movie, perhaps...?
6: "Developing Countries" To Pay Their Own Way. "Oh, our people are starving, and it's all YOUR fault - not the fault of our unnecessary, ego-boosting space program, our rapidly-increasing nuclear weapons arsenal, or our multi-billionaire 'elected' leaders, who redefine the term 'corrupt'..."
7: Developing Countries To Be Brought To Account For Destroying The World's Most Beautiful Wildlife. Let's fine the bastards for massacring the tigers, before there are none left. They can't afford it? See 6.
8: Gordon Brown To Apologise For F$&king Up Our Economy, And Not Blame It On Thatcher. Yeah, that'll happen. Accepted, the WORLD downturn isn't his personal fault, but he's the one that said we were best placed to ride out the recession - and our economy is STILL in the negatives, when almost everyone else has turned the corner! (updated)
9: England To Shut The F$&k Up About Winning The 1966 World Cup FOREVER, If They Fail To Win It Again In The Next Ten Years. Football may be "coming home", but it ain't coming home to Britain. Face it. England ARE NOT BRAZIL.
10: Religious Maniacs To Leave Us All Alone. If we want to worship, we will come to you, and join you. If we don't, that is NOT a personal insult to your deity, and an excuse for more terrorist outrages. The days of your mastery over the hearts and minds of the Earth ARE OVER.
Thank you, and good night.
