They complain about how bad some movie or play they have seen is. And they go on and on about how bad it was. I wonder if they have a template where they just fill in the name of the movie or the play and then change some of the words so that no one will notice the difference. Here in Europe it is almost as if it was forbidden to write a good review of a movie produced in the USA. Also, they review books "for us". The thought is perhaps to spare us from the books that are badly written or just plain garbage. I wonder if it has ever occurred to any of the critics that people have different taste. I wonder why people read their fucking articles at all! How can they possibly think that one person that they have never met is capable of judging what they should read, what is shit and what is not? I believe that this is a major symptom of the bug that our society has catched. Papers and TV-companies actually have people employed to think for us! Critics do not have any function in our society. When the critics write their articles, they are not doing it because they think that some author or some movie director could perhaps do a better job if they write some constructive criticism, no they write their stuff because they want to prove to us "dumb" people that they are intellectual, and capable of doing a much better job if they wanted to. For example, Ace Of Base (ok ok, perhaps you don't like them, just wait though) is being seriously targeted here in Sweden by our "music-critics". They write all sorts of stuff about this band, how bad they play, how ugly they are, how bad their choreographic is. How come they sell so good? Some people like them! Not the critics though! Why? BECAUSE THEY ARE JUST PLAIN JEALOUS LOSERS! A lot of people read their articles and form some kind of opinion about this band after they have read it - but before they have actually heard the music. Or people trust the critics because they are so smart and successful so they get to write stuff in a magazine. We all know that everything printed in a paper is always true, right? Perhaps Ace Of Base isn't one of my personal favorites, but they do deserve to get a fair chance - like everyone else. Imagine what you might have missed all these years because you have listened to some of these losers! There might be some really good music or some really good books you have not read because a sucker wrote it down totally. Maybe he had a bad day when he wrote the review. Maybe his wife left him. Maybe his cat got pregnant - by the dog. Maybe he got a positive AIDS-test back. Maybe he is just a jealous loser.
