It’s very difficult to find any song in the 80s that could be categorized as ‘Good/Meh,’ they all seem to be generally awful but in different ways. All the New Romantic electro stuff, for example, has recently had a resurfacing as “cool” and “inspirational” but who is it “inspirational” for? People who want to be Lady Gaga, that’s who.
And although 80s Hip Hop might come back round again, the only person it benefits is Will Smith (who will probably have another room in his mansion decorated with 24 carat gold wallpaper) or DJ Jazzy Jeff (who will probably have another cardboard wall put onto his box).
Rolling Stone, that bastion of cocking arsewipes has decided that not only do they have the self-congratulated intelligence to judge what is good, and what is bad, but they’ve even decided to tell everyone what their opinion is. Isn’t that good for everyone? Aren’t we all glad? Of course we’re not glad. Are we idiots?
Celebrities are annoying aren’t they? That’s why we like being nasty to them. Sometimes, we like to slag people off who are more talented than us. Sometimes we like to chide them simply because they’re richer than us.
In most cases, we hate celebrities because they get much more attention than we do and we’re just as needy as they are. It’s quite possible we’re more needy. Not one member of the press took any notice when one of the editorial team got arrested for hoovering up lines of drugs whilst getting their genitals messed with by someone dressed up like a Tudor peasant.
But who is the most annoying celebrity on the planet right now? There’s a lot to choose from isn’t there? Piers Morgan? Su Pollard?
This picture is of hecklerspray editor Stuart Heritage’s beard.
As some of you already know, Stu promised that he’d grow this beard for a month to see what it looked like and then shave it off. That month is up, but now he doesn’t know whether to keep it or not. And this is where you come in.
Stu has already assembled a list of pros and cons about shaving the beard off, as follows:
PROS:
* He won’t look homeless
* He won’t look like one of The Spin Doctors
* He won’t look like Anthony Worrall Thompson
* Girls will theoretically want to kiss him more
* He’ll be able to eat a Dominoes Double Decadence pizza without his face ending up looking like a hairy exploded cyst.
CONS:
* He’s lazy
* Shaving it off might hurt
* It does look sort of good, doesn’t it?
* Chuck Norris
So what’s it to be? Beard on or beard off? It’s up to you. Fill in this poll-thing below and tomorrow night Stu will collate the results and abide completely by your decision. For a bit, at least. Your vote counts!
