Noticeable trend in the highest subscribed You Tube channels.

You Tube informs me of channels i might like to subscribe to when i log in, and it led me to do a very brief investigation on who these subscribers were. They fit a physical pattern, all white, all photogenic and all American. All American is in fact a euphemism for  white and heterosexual
A lot of  the highest subbed channels are run by production companies now with the 'star' a de facto actor. With the most popular videos attracting millions of views , its not surprising that television companies would try and create their own personalities to sell the advertisements.

Work in progress....

Transcript2. 'Talking shit on Facebook'.

''Ok, so I need to get a point across, because, ok- whew, im sorry my anxiety is through the roof right now''. ' 'Bitch, you need to shut the fuck up, first of all,i don't know who the fuck you think you are to be going around running your mouth talking all this shit, because you are a fake ass hoe, and, your asking us to eat dirt''. ''And you know what?, when I see you, this time I am not gonna' let you get away , this time i'm not gonna' let you just walk away and have you talk shit on Facebook''.

You think your all hard and shit bitch, because of your side kick Selina?

You guys are, I know why you guys are best friends, because your both fat ugly whores.

Selina, likes to flip things around about me and use all her stories on me, and say 'Oh Evlina got a train busted on, Evilina got busted on this and that'. The thing is bitch, you got a train busted on at a party and I know this because my brother was one of the guys, and it was outside and in the middle of the night and uh...everyone knows it too.

Sellina, your the biggest fat, no, I take that back, your the second biggest fat hoe I ever met. Mariza, your the first biggest fat hoe.

Just so you know, you should probably just jump off a bridge right now because nobody likes you, and the people who pretend to like you, who say that they are your friends, talk shit behind your back, or have talk shit about you already before you guys were friends. So get your fake ass away from your fake friends thinking that your the shit, because you can talk shit. It's not about if you can talk shit, its about if you can throw hands.

You think your all bad ass, because you beat some drunk girls ass?, Sweetheart reality check, she was drunk.

Um..what else?

Oh , and about the cancer.

You think your so funny going on and on saying 'oh she's lying about cancer, hope she dies of cancer'. Well thank you, I hope I die of cancer a natural cause not choking on a dick like you.

I hope I die of cancer ok bitch, I hope I don't die of aids, like you, like you gave my brother aids you nasty whore.

Oh yeah..calling me ugly.

Ok, bitch, I know im beautiful inside and out, I am a really nice person, so me making this video is a really big deal like since Jesus gave birth or like God gave birth to jesus or whatever.

But you pissed me off to the point where I just can't handle it anymore.

So here's how it really started.

At the movies, I went to the movies with Glenn Castro, right?

It was my first time meeting with him, he wasn't my man or my date or anything like that. I told him straight up at the beginning that we were just going as friends.

And let me tell you, as soon as I saw him, I wanted to run away, that motherfucker was ugly as shit, it was like beauty and the beast right there. And so , wego to the movies and he goes ' hey i'm going to get popcorn'. I was like 'ok'.He was gone like thirty minutes , and I go and I see him seeing him holding some girls hand. Um..i walked up to him and I was like 'what the fuck dude , you came here with me'.And I told Mariza straight up 'I, looked her right in the eye , look im not trying to have drama, im just trying to help you out because he came here with me'. Noooo, this bitch wants to roll her eyes at me and say 'what the fuck ever' and walk way. And I told her 'bitch come here, bitch come here' and did that bitch come here?, no she wants to chase after young Castro.

And then she decided to message me on Facebook after the fact,talking all this shit, telling me 'grow some meat on your bones', telling me 'that i'm flat'. Bitch!, you see this?, that's not flat, you see that?, Is that flat? I don't fucking think so you dumb whore . And you know what?, im not fat in the stomach to have ot have it either, im naturally curvy. So, for you to keep saying 'you need meat on your bones', thats just jealousy right there and jealousy is a ugly ass trait.

What else?

You think your gonna beat my ass?, really?

I mean I know im small and I know your like a sumo wrestler and I know you can fucking squish and break my ribs in two. But I will beat your ass to the ground.

Your talking about me having brain cancer?, I am so glad you think that's funny, really I do that warms my heart that your such a cold hearted, fat oompa loompa bitch get your ass back to the factory.

Um..im tired of all this shit talking over Facebook.You think your so hard, you think your so cute, you think your so skinny,you think you got big ol' boobs and shit.You think you got a big ass?

Well come here, come down to Tucson, I will hook up with you any place you want. You give me the place, you give me the time, you give me the place. When, where..what time?

And I will be there, and then everybody will see how badly I beat your ass.I'll make sure its all over Facebook, I 'll make sure its all over Twitter, i'll make sure its all over YouTube. And you can fucking save this video bitch, because this is a promise, I will tag you, I will beat your ass to the ground. Don't doubt me just cos' im small.

Do I have anything else to say? Yeah!, stop using your mouth for dick bitch, use it for food.What else?, what else?, Anywayz your a ugly dirty cunt, and I hope you choke on a dick and die.And for telling me to die of cancer your gonna' get really hated for that.,Just so you know.

You have like a whole army of beautiful girls that wanna' beat your ass and they will. Because your an ugly skank and you pass around aids.

Ohhh lets not forget her twenty pounds of make up, I know your four hundred pounds but when you dress make up like this.

'Oh look I’m Mariza, lets hold our boobies out on Face book, its so classy of you, your right, your so very very right Mariza, I am such a hoe'

Because I can walk around with class and I can walk around with pants, and I don’t need a bunch of make up for guys to call me pretty. I don't need to show cleavage like you, and I don;t need to turn around and show my ass to get a bunch of likes on a picture or to get it a lot of attention from guys.

So you know what you need to do?, you need to shut the fuck up and you need to choke on a dick and you need to die.

I have been transcribing random  youtube  videos  for a while now , as well as porno films and news items. Still not sure where it is taking me, but it will lead to a fully developed series of works.

Rough movie calender design, part1.

Just an idea i am working on- very rough draft.

edit2/9/13
  Man...this is so interesting when i look back at the pictures i chose, that were initially intended to just be funny. Look at the images of women i chose, versus the images of men. This was all a subconscious choice. This culture is so subtle, it sneaks up.

Art by Laizze Hiroshashi.

Wonderful drawing by a talented artist who will go far. Great attention to character detail in the outfit, which tells a story about her environment. Skilled tone on the arms and hair really give this drawing a dynamic sense of  movement, ready to leap in to battle.
This would make a great video game character.

The curious case of the bigot for hire and the landed comedians.- work in progress.

In England we have an unusual history with comedy.
In the 1960's and 70's comedy was definitely a working class occupation and entertainment.
Stand up acts like Bernard Manning and Roy Chubby Brown and Frank Carson dominated the working mans clubs and television. The jokes were dealing with a changing society , women were campaigning for equal pay, an end to sexual harassment in the work place, the second wave of mass immigration in to England was taking place from Pakistan and India (formerly one country,


Frankie Boyle is known for his extreme form of comedy in which he attacks the disabled, overweight people, basically his act is  that 1970’s white male on top humour.
His stand up is very similar to other comedians like Jimmy Carr, Frank Skinner  and Al Murray who have these working mens club style routines, albeit without the open racism, though that is a sliding scale.
It is in direct opposition to the alternative comedy that has dominated television stand up for the last thirty years.Comedy that had a large amount of female performers, was anti sexism and racism and relied on surrealist exposure of societies prejudices and foibles or interpersonal relationships.
Al Murray or The Pub Landlord  to use his stage name. is a  boorish, bigoted, sexist homophobic white male who struts across the stage with a pint jug in hand. He lectures and hectors the audience on foreigners and feminism.
Al Murray himself is privately educated, the great grandson of the writer William Makepeace Thackery ,  and originally claimed his act was intended to ridicule bigots of all stripes. However, the longer his act goes the less effective the satire, particularly as he has mentioned himself, a large part of his audience now are B.N.P.   E.D.L members who hold him as one of their own. Is it satire, if the target of your material, praises you, even adapting your work in to their own social interactions, shouting your catchphrases at women in pubs ‘Fruit based cocktail or white wine for the lady’..
And the financial incentive of keeping this audience means the work becomes less about exposing the bigots and more about keeping them buying the tickets. Does it make any difference if you tell a rape joke ironically, if everyone is laughing when you call the victim a silly bitch?
With only a few  of your audience understanding it on the level in which it is written. In case Al Murray has a team of writers, is a millionaire and is now a company producing product to order.

(Relevant article from chortle magazine on Al Murray's act).

Jimmy Carr is another wealthy comedian, from a privileged background. In England a lot of our most successful comedians and comedy writers are from Oxbridge or other privately educated Universities.Many of them writing working class characters, up for ridicule ( Made in Britain),  which are then  celebrated by the same group the comedians loathe, who adopt this patronising sneer as approval. The politics of marginalization and lack of critical thinking come in to play here.
Carr claims any subject is up for a comedian to use, including rape jokes, sexism, homophobia and racism and comedy causes a positive effect since it pushes public discussion. Carr also writes for the Murdoch press empire as a regular columnist.
Frank Skinner rode the herald for the ‘New lad’ generation. A twenty to thirty year old man child who claims to celebrate the differences between men and women. Skinners act and personal life were often criticized for mysoginy.
Boyle is somewhat different in that he is openly left wing, but his comedy is often indistinguishable from Carr, Murray and Skinner.
If the comedy is  hateful bigotry, anti women, homophobic but the comedian is left wing or adopts a stance that their comedy is serving a  useful social function while banking huge cheques from an audience who never get the joke but watch for confirmation of their own cruelty , and so a get a legitimization from a public figure of their views.

Is Benson The Fresh Prince?

Is Benson the Fresh Prince. Upon reading an interesting essay on the subtext within sitcoms (Hidden themes and narratives within popular culture) i found a series of similarities between 80's sitcom Benson and mid nineties sitcom TFPOBA. But a reversal has occurred. In Benson a black American fleeing the effects of crime gets a job as a butler in a mansion through artifice. In Fresh Prince a young man flees the effects of crime and uses street smarts to get ahead. The difference is the black family now owns the mansion. Work in progress . Most of the main characters in Benson are the same, now replaced by economically successful black characters. I think the very specific character, location and environment replication is deliberate.
