It can’t be good for the psyche, being reviled around the world. And I can’t see it getting better any time soon. When Bush retires, where’s he meant to go for a nice relaxing getaway? Let’s face it, even in the year 2025, if he pops out for some curry goat during a Caribbean break, chances are the kitchen staff will be queuing up to dribble all manner of bodily fluids in his food. He’ll wind up thinking all global cuisine tastes vaguely similar and possibly a bit too runny for his liking. On the plus side, his hotel minibar will be perpetually overstocked with complimentary packets of pretzels.
There’s only one way for Bush to dig himself out of this unpopular hole — with an ironic shovel (Charlie Brooker in CIF)
“To make a mark, Dubya must create the most shocking and explicit video yet, something so grotesque the computer itself starts vomiting. Look up “necrophilia” and “zoophilia” in the dictionary, Mr Bush. Then marry the two. That’s your starting point. It’ll be the worst evening of your life, but you’ll be an internet hero.”
I would be ready to host that for him. I don’t want to brag or shill, but the file host I use doesn’t throttle download bandwidth. I think he’d want that.
Hear that, Mr President? Now’s your chance!
