Well, the Oscar nominations are in and I don’t care either. But it is interesting to note that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Other Wastes of God’s Precious Gift of Life, have chosen to nominate movies no one saw, celebrating perversions no one cares about in order to parade a virtue they don’t have to an audience that is no longer there. In doing this, Hollywood is sending a message to the people formerly known as moviegoers.

And the message is this: “Screw you. We hate you. Come and see our movies. Die, you scum. Look how pretty we are in our designer gowns. You stink. You’re stupid. You live in the Midwest which has cooties. Please love us. Please read an article about how we sleep with each other and then break up. We hate you, we hate you, we hate you. Pay attention to us. Look, I’m wearing a dress even though I’m a boy. Don’t I disgust you? Why don’t you love me? Look, I made a movie about boys who sleep with other boys and hate their fathers. Why didn’t you go to see my movie, Daddy? Because you suck, you stink, you’re hateful and awful. Love me, love me, I hate you. Watch my Oscar show where I wear a pretty dress and get a golden statue. Then bugger off and die because you stink, you stink, just like my Daddy. Die, die, die. Love me, love me, die.”
