Jedward. A comment on the duality of the public persona and our relationship with celebrity. Or two annoying human shaped tits. Discuss.

So I have the option here to either discuss in detail how two completely talentless teenagers with absolutely shocking hair styles (see previous blog for my personal appreciation of metro-sexualness) represent how the public view and subsequently promote said talentlessness or I could talk about two annoying human shaped tits. Obviously I will chose the most appropriate as I like to think myself as Dugma (‘setting a good example’ - for all you non-hebrew speaking readers out there).

In my personal opinion, Jedward represent so much less than human shaped tits. I find ‘tits’, ‘breasts’ or ‘juggly-wugglies’ as my grandpa used to say quite attractive in all their shape, size and glory. If anything, Jedward represent the antithesis of everything juggly-wuggly related. Everything. What or who is putting these two talentless boys in the public line of sight? I have met nobody that enjoys watching them, nobody who would buy their music or watch it voluntarily, and lastly, find me one person who would call them a celebrity! But this is where the celebrity is headed. Jade Goody? Well we just enjoyed laughing at her stupidity - Paris Hilton? She made a whole series based on her being the most ridiculous human being, up until Jedward managed to get through to the finals of X-Factor last year. You can come round my house and I’ll show you the dent mark in the wall next to the TV where I threw the remote in anger and frustration. Surely we appreciate talent when we see it? Has the world run out of talented people?

*pause*

I was watching the tv though on that remote-throwing Saturday night, and I tuned into X-Factor the following week just to watch what sort of moronic antics Jedward would get up to. Maybe they are more like tits than I previously thought. After all, you like watching them, but as soon as you get what you asked for - you don’t know what to do with them. We, the people of Britain, voted and wanted these two tits to succeed - we shouldn’t be angry at them for our own mistakes. But just look at that ridiculous hair...
