The Fake Faces of Celebrities

Now, you might ask, what am I doing posting this? Have I been kidnapped and had my blogger account taken over by the feminists?

Nope.

The point is that it's an ideal metaphor for everything wrong with society today.

Keira Knightley

Reese Witherspoon

Cameron Diaz

(See the rest in the link above. Ordinary people, I tell you!)


The media and advertising bombards us, every sector of the population not just young women, with false archetypes and ideals to live up to. Of course, most of these false ideals involve serving the system in some way, whether by buying stuff or by working slavishly, serving in the military, or anything else you can think of.

And we are well trained to look up. In fact, if you want my take on the global conspiracy in two words, it is "Look Up". And hopefully while you're doing so you won't ever look in a mirror for answers instead, so to speak, oh no. You've been bedazzled and disorientated.

It starts from a young age and traditionally it used to be religion that taught us to look up to priests and popes and other establishment figures, the only connections to the divine, as they proclaimed. Today we are well trained to look up to royalty and the business class; popular heroes today like Mr Sugar and Mr Branson are the new aristocracy since we grew tired of respecting the Lordships.

(We also worship money, by the way. Another hollow concept that is fake. Our money is worthless digital illusion, symbolic of our invisible-chain slavery to the finance oligarchs.)

And then the next phase of mandatory corporate environmental schooling takes place, and it's called 'fashion'. Oh spare me. No imagination, no originality, know nothing. The trick is to convince us, if we are to bring Plato into this, that there exists a Form Of The Good, and that they are the embodiment of it. Their money, their appearance, their very livelihood, makes them the ones we, the imperfect worthless corporate serfs, aspire to be.

But it's all a well-airbrushed mirage designed to control you.

So if you want the biggest, dirtiest gossip of all, the real word on the street, the whisper that brings down Babylon, it is this:

They are nothing special. You are.
