Guest blogger 8: Sex and the Pity

-
Sex & the City grossed $280 million dollars last year while 20 million people died of hunger in the same year. In 2005 major U.S tv stations ran 6,248 segments on Michael Jackson's child molestation trial. 1,534 on Tom Cruise, 405 on a runaway bride from Georgia & only 126 on the Sudanese crisis.

Vulnavia said i should write something light & engaging since her blog is premised on just that. Her blog gets far more hits than mine because it's the Sex and the City kind of blog & mine is like the Sudan Crisis. So to Miss Vulnavia i say thank you for allowing me to bring Sudan On the set of Sex and the City.

The porn industry generates close to $14 billion dollars a year while according to UNICEF 22 000 children die each day due to poverty. Seems the world is now comfortable with feeding their sex addictions than feeding the hungry.

Musicians show off their wealth on MTV Cribs to the people who made them rich. The people who made them rich now want to live like the people they made rich so they become greedy & selfish. So they are saving up for an ipad & their first LV bag they forget about the orphanage in their neighbourhood.

Lipitor is the most profitable drug in the world. It rakes in over $13 million annualy. No it's not for AIDS, Malaria or Cancer, its a cholestrol reducing drug for those who want that Sarah Jessica Parker like body.. (wonder how many will google it). These same obese people quickly change the channel when when a famine struck child comes on TV with flies hovering over him.


We are more comfortable watching America's Got Talent & forget Africa's Got Hunger. We drop coins in the blind man's plate while we keep the notes for the Gucci & Prada, we worked hard for it & we deserve it right? I bet he worked hard for his disabilty too..

    i think Dodger u may resonate well with Mark Knight @ www.waykiwayki.com or Neil Crammer @ www.neilcrammer.com post anythng to do with personal development & people ignore, try sex!! You are called a 'weirdo' & a 'junkie' when u dont follow mainstream, everyone wants everyone to be 'sheep'. Imagine 100 years 2Billion people's lives being shape by a bunch of 'talented people' deliberately thrown 'in your face' 's attitudes, behaviour dressing??? Would we be have the varied & marvelous cultures we have today? Where are we heading then? Are we 'broilers' in the making?

    To chik-opera, who job is it then to make sure that the $14 billion spent on porn be used to feed the 22 000 children that die of hunger?

    Explain to me why Sarah Jessica Parker should care that 20 million people are starving? And most of the time, its the producers who make the money not the actors/actresses... I get your point though, I should think twice before I spend R45 on a movie. But everyone always thinks the next person is doing something about the situation.

    Do you really think that perve who is spending so much money on porn cares about the 22 000 people who starve?

    Just yesterday I was reading about a new culture in SA where rich kids burn their clothes because they are so rich and they can afford to buy more. Funny thing is these "rich' kids are staying in the ghetto and "burning someone else's hard earned money. They don't work, they are teens. So if that is where our culture is at, how will we get them to care about all the HIV + orphans who have no one left in this world?

    Don't get me wrong. I commend you for writing this article. I commend you for saying that stuff that is hard to hear. Yes we have people like you who actually talk about these issues and people like Vulnavia who are brave enough to let you talk about this on their sites but it's a messed up world and I really don't know if it can be fixed...

    that's my 2 cents...

    That is such a tough call and yes there is that someone-else-will-do-it culture that has become so pervasive in society. It's one thing to acknowledge it and quite another for one to take the initiative themselves and actually do something.
    BTW thank you for commending me, I like being commended :)

    Thank you all for the appreciation. All i can say is humanity is no longer humane. We are lost sheep who don't even deserve to be called humans anymore. We really need to save ourselves from ourselves. We are a failure.......... but there's hope & hope lies in all of us to' each one teach one'

Eight Things I Will Never Apologise For!

1.           THINKING THAT ZIMBABWEAN MEN WHO GET RAPED ASKED FOR IT. Glad I got that one off my chest, and it’s true. Drive down any highway, Main Street, under any bridge, walk through any forest, go behind any building and you are bound to see at least 5 men urinating. You think the world is your urinal, whipping out your junk every opportunity you get and expect to get away with it. Just as you justify raping a child, woman, girl, baby. I to would justify raping any man who so carelessly displays his wares. If you don’t want it then keep your junk in your pants! 2.           HATING SOMETHING EVERYONE ELSE LOVES Let’s see, that would be puppies, cats, corn flakes, that stupid series 24 which translates to a total disregard of that famed agent Jack Bauer. Following that I hate crowds and small talk, yes even if you are my friend, either get to the poi...

How To Get Your New Man To Throw You A Party On The First Date

                                It's quite an accomplishment to get a woman to go out with you, it is quite an accomplishment to get the lady to love you. With that in mind ladies when you start dating a guy you deserve a party for being so pretty/awesome/having such beautiful hands/fine skin/lovely eyes/ such a throaty voice. All of that should be celebrated, so when he starts a conversation, here's how it should go. “So what do you want to do? Movie? Dinner?” You should answer, “How about a party…for me?” “A party?” “Yeah, it will be a good chance for me to meet your friends and for you to meet my friends.” “A party?” “It doesn’t have to be a big party…although that’s what I would prefer. It could just be at your place with a few friends and drinks.” “Okay.” “And then after drinks we all ride in a limo to the ballroom you rented and meet the other two hundred guests. It could be ...

Why You Should Get Married Before 21 :)

If you are me, explaining ceaselessly to your 6 year old sister why you aren’t married is tedious. Being cross examined by a 6 and 12 year old is slightly worse. “V how old are you.” (Mumbles appropriate age) “How old is cousin V?”  (Not to be confused with V me) I mumble a number which makes her 2years younger. It takes N about an hour to figure this out. Large numbers are still a bit of a problem for her. “But she’s having a baby, why aren’t you?” “Well…” I struggle to find a response, 6year olds are robotically engineered and any question is most likely a double entendre. “You see,” I continue in my best grown up voice, “she is married and I am not.” Big N who is beginning to understand life a little better pipes in, “But you are sooooo old when are you getting married? I am telling you, by this time next year all the boys will see you as an old maid.” “But you have a boyfriend; doesn’t he want to marry you?” N whines “You s...
