Slogan For The Times

[Canary42]

While window-shopping this afternoon I spotted in a poster/painting shop a framed poster with the following slogan...... 

STOP MAKING STUPID PEOPLE FAMOUS

.....which really rang a bell with me considering the excessive amount of publicity nowadays given to minor celebrities whose only claim to fame is an abysmal appearance on Reality TV or a Game show.

So right.  Maybe you'd like a hoodie to wear when you go shopping?

It is, of course, the title of a 2021 track from the Canadian group, Our Lady Peace:

Some people might argue that we do quite a good job of making stupid people famous by electing them to power 😉

"Some people might argue that we do quite a good job of making stupid people famous by electing them to power"

Regrettably, the vast majority of them are not stupid at all - they just know how to ride the gravy train...

Or be a TikTok 'influencer'.

Strange how some people stick in your mind.  'Maureen!  You've driven over my foot, Maureen!'   Over 30 years ago, yet there is the memory, seared in to my brain

Now that was one of the funniest TV progammes I've ever seen.

Do you think Maureen was the first reality TV star? Or Annie?

Like the song, Buen!
