Please Don’t Show Me Your Panties

You know what? We don’t care who was the first to print a Sudoku puzzle, we don’t care what’s on your iPod, we don’t care what Pete Doherty does in his free time, we don’t care that you feel strongly about Britain’s negative attitude towards Eurovision, we don’t care how much earlier you got into a band than we did and we don’t care that some famous people are contributing to a weblog.

We don’t care that you think the working or middle or upper classes are unfairly maligned, we don’t care that you believe first time buyers should “pull themselves together”, we don’t care that you do not understand why a band is so underrated, we don’t care how much cheaper you bought something because you “shopped around”, we don’t care whether a joke is politically incorrect or not and we don’t care that you were in fact “secretly a little pro-war.”

We don’t care how “loaded” the latest DVD is with extras, we don’t care that you think “happy slapping” is something more valid than common assault, we don’t care which celebrities turned up to watch a new film, we don’t care about your psychological theories about randomised playlists, we don’t care what either Gallagher brother thinks about the state of modern music and we don’t care how you resemble a character from whatever women’s show is presently fashionable.

We don’t care how naughty you were last night with regards to your diet, we don’t care that you believe you have the angle on something because you prefix it with “so-called”, we don’t care for your views on whether or not adults should play computer games, we don’t care if something is live and exclusive and we don’t care that you add a sneer to your voice every time you refer to “foodies”.

We don’t care whether we have a choice of hospitals, we don’t care what jokes you were forwarded in your email, we don't care that you believe the world should bend over backwards to provide choice for fussy eaters, we don’t care that another washed-up hack wishes to defend “chav” culture, we don’t care to read a re-worded press release disguised as a news story and we don’t care that you finish a sentence with “in my opinion” as if this somehow validates your ill-thought out crap.

But why should you care?
