Whale of Time
As I have no idea what possessed Lucian Freud to paint this gigantic woman, in the nude, we can only assume it’s the early onset of dementia… Just thought I should warn the world before he gets any worse, you know. I’m performing a kindness here, work with me, work with me.
Personally, if I was getting paid anywhere near £17 million for a painting, I would paint something beautiful, not someone who will happily work for £20 a day plus lunch. Although lunch for a woman that size must be a considerable expense. Okay, I’m all done with the fat jokes, sorry =) Well, I’m not sorry, but you get the idea.
What else made me despair? Was it the hopeless exaggeration in this article centered on Britney Spears? Well, it did make me groan, and there was a pang of despair, but that woman warrants insane news just for being herself, so I can hardly blame the BBC. Heck, why didn’t they call it a ‘three car pileup’ ? Too much?
More despair worthy however was this swath of garbage, a surprisingly biased article from the BBC about organ transplants and donors. Basically a daughter died and saved three others through organ donation, but her mother also needed a transplant, and didn’t get her daughter’s organs. I’m sorry but that seems awfully boring to me, the organs go to those most in need. The article states she has needed a kidney for seven years! How is that desperation?? Is your current kidney on the verge of explosion (or whatever it is kidneys do when they kick the bucket) ? Didn’t think so.
My bias comment was directed on the following quote by the way, that oh-so-subtly tries to buy an emphatic vote from already teary eyed readers…
Ms Ashworth, the mother of a two-year-old girl, was on the NHS Organ Donor Register…
- BBC
My view on organ transplant law? It should be against the law not to become a donor.
