Just spoke to my brother on the phone. He was thinking about switching to another internet provider. The specs were the same; up and download speeds and so on, all available in his domicile. Only thing different was the price. 10 euros a month cheaper! He filled in an online form to apply for this wonderful deal. Next day he receives a letter and information package, stating that the speed cannot be guaranteed in his zip area. Why is it that all these corporations, whether it is internet, energy and so on, are trying to lure you in their evil scheme for world domination? Nowadays it is all about a better environment. It is the most fashionable thing to do these days. And of course good ol’ dough. After all shareholders do not give a flying piss bout the environment.
Anyway we talked about how many different parties are now competing for the attention of the customer. Wouldn’t it be much better for the consumer if there were but only one supplier of energy, one supplier of healthcare insurance, one telephone operator? I do not even bother to look through the abstract wilderness of different suppliers. It is too much work and takes up too much time. For what?
Everyone must have been in the dairy section of an average supermarket these days. It is overwhelming. So many choices. Shock and Awe! Americans should take detentees from Afhanistan and Iraq and make them stand in front of a dairy section for an hour or so. The poor prisoners will be likely to tell anything after being confronted with so much dairy related products. I know I would. That is why I do not even bother to watch. Milk and yoghurt in two varieties. What more can a human being possibly need?
Choices? For what democracy? Fuck you. Nothing democratic about living in a world where one is bombarded by commercial messages 24 hours a day. Buy me or buy them. Fuck that! whether it is dairy or energy. If I want it or need it I do not want to think about which one to pick. Just gimme the goods.
More to follow later for sure.
For now good nite n godspeed komradez et ettez!

Nonkel,
you are starting to sound more and more nostalgic for a communist society where everything was made simple by the Party. I always wondered if you used to be one of those Eastfuckin’ Bloc goose steppers anyway. Simply food no frills?, I recommend you watch ‘Repo Man’ again soon so you can jerk off over the generic food packaging that’s on the shelves in the supermarket where Otto work’s in the beginning of the movie (I happen to have the dvd, you can borrow it), for now some quotes from the movie……..:
Bud: Credit is a sacred trust, it’s what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia? I said, do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?
Otto: They don’t pay bills in Russia, it’s all free.
Bud: All free? Free my ass. What are you, a fuckin’ commie? Huh?
Otto: No, I ain’t no commie.
Bud: Well, you better not be. I don’t want no commies in my car. No Christians either.
Oly:What’s your name, kid?
Otto: Otto.
Oly: Otto parts?
Leila:What about our relationship?
Otto: What?
Leila: Our relationship!
Otto: Fuck that!
Enjoy,
