Distorted Dimensions (II)

Distorted Dimensions (II) - Finally reemerged from two days of snow removal! Welcome back to my blog! - Shortly after this year's Grammy Awards, a bunch of people was publicly quite candidly discussing one of the super star's scanty outfits and whether it was appropriate at all for an event like that. A renowned news anchor and weather guy somehow put it like that: "I really like her as an artist, but I've got to say I disapprove of her attire with regard to it being a televised family event." I felt like applauding him for he is absolutely right! We are all nothing but hypocrites! On the one hand, we try to teach our kids morals and tell them not to run around like bums, sluts and losers. On the other hand, however, we condone today's female pop stars as they are childishly competing with one another attempting to outdo and top each other as far as picking even scantier outfits. What is this, a peep show, an intentional sexual stimulant, an invitation to join the adult world of porn or what? Girls look up to those stars and will want to look and act just alike. However, since not every girl is automatically super skinny, lots of them may hence fall victim to anorexia, bulimia and other serious eating disorders. What's more, the publicly displayed dress codes will also be copied down to a T together with this latest stupid, yet hot trend of twerking. "Money makes the world go round" is an old saying which achieves plenty of support by another immoral but true statement which goes like "Sex sells". Who does sex primarily sell to though should not be disregarded. Males. Sure, who else would want to see half naked and provokingly slithering female bodies? You really think, women, kids and old folks need to, let alone want to see that? Back to the immature and likely self- conscious and insecure girls that dream of becoming like their idols. Dressed and made up like little sirens, but appearing like little whores at best, I dare predict that by sending out the wrong signals they WILL consequently attract the wrong kind of guys, males that either misinterpret those false signs for a an easy free ride or prey on their victims anyway because they are mentally deranged or perverted.
Fake indications often lead to traumatic reactions such as rape, a crime either individually inflicted or multiply committed by so called gang- bangers. In fact, it's never the apparel alone, though but usually the combination of several "favorable" factors that leads to an uncalled outcome like that. Seriously, what do expect from someone who joins anonymous mega parties where hundreds of teens and twens get on drinking and drugging binges and hangs out there with less on than just a bikini top and hot pants plus twerks around like a pole dancer? We, the grown- ups, should tell our off- spring to cut that crap out and dress much better than what their idols present on national TV? Good luck, if you really think that does the trick! Maybe turning off the boob tube will do then? No chance with all the social media, cell phones and pics generously shared among their pals. Perhaps you think that by moving away from urban centers this problem can be solved? Nope, I don't think so because by now the Internet has forced its way even into the most remote areas. Okay, what now if apparently nothing else keeps our gils away from such fatefully destructive ways? Right, we'd rather bravely address the main source, meaning we ought to bluntly approach some of those super stars that are in fact directly responsible for such fads and trends to be taken over and spread. This, at least, feels like the right kind of step to take, but then again, you've got a better chance hearing a tree fall somewhere in the woods than seeing this sex- selling and money- making mill ever stopped from rotating. Knowing that no earthly effort will be effective any time soon as to change this sinful state of Sodom and Gomorrah par excellence saddens me deeply. The question, "Why was she raped?" used to be a rather innocent one following a crime nobody really deliberately provoked, let alone fully understood. Looking at the presently minimal ways of clothing for public performances, though, challenges the whole concept of sexuality. By making it look dirty, all those girls who are adapting to this style, will inevitably bring upon themselves lots and lots of unnecessary issues. God help us!

Ridiculous!

Ridiculous!   - A belated Hello back to my blog! - I was writing this a few days ago as we were sitting on the plane to Chisasibi in the far north east of Quebec, Canada. We flew out of Montreal which is definitely not a small town airport. Anyways, what we went through was the epitome of aggravation. Having been to many airports already, I'm kind of used to the generally time- consuming ordeals starting with the self- check- in counters, security check points, passport controls, mile- long jogs to the gates, baggage claim, customs, etc. I really thought I'd seen it all - until last Monday morning. After surprisingly having been checked in by an actual person, we were finally headed towards Departures. I could not believe my eyes once we turned around the corner and spotted hundreds of passengers waiting in line. What the heck?! First, we were funneled in what seemed half a mile away from the actual security check point and then driven in long snake lines just like cattle. I g...
Buy small and local   Hi everybody! - Coming from a tiny country like Austria, one might assume that globalisation is just a phenomenon tailored for larger nations, but no, it has also been affecting us all across Europe. Globalisation itself is of complex nature, and even though I'm not planning to write about globalisation per se today, it somehow dictates our overall shopping behavior by bringing in more and more big box chain stores worldwide which sets the general trend for methodically and eventually putting local small family- run as well as individualists' shops out of business. In the 70ies I remember mom and dad taking us along to a wide range of stores from the baker to the butcher, the grocer's, the florist, the hard ware place, the electrician, the tobacco store, etc. What great memories our weekly trips to the market created for us. There we would hand- pick fresh fruit, produce, and other delicacies. Sometimes we would even get a piece of fruit or a carrot fo...
Money Destroys The World   - This morning's news segment about a supposedly renowned US dog breeder corporation having neglected thousands of dogs has once more proven that quality is sacrificed for the sake of quantity which is linked to the sad fact that everything revolves around money only.  In order to increase and multiply profits, more volume of less quality has become the clearly chosen option everywhere. No doubt, we are dealing with a huge problem on a global scale, but still I feel that this country doesn't even bother masking the issue at times. That's just not fair towards the people here! Lies and false promises are the epitome of hypocrisy, all for the sake of making more money. Absolutely sickening! Just imagine, you would like to purchase a dog from a good breeding stock, and you are willing to pay more, but what you get is often not what you've been promised, no even worse guaranteed. The worst thing though, the paper work assures you that things are o...
