OK. Today we're doing the vast masses of repeat a fact and make yourself look clever,'`
Pub Gobbers.' This twat-like animal is to be found in all corners of the TV and Radio
covered World. These near-flung corners are inevitably flooded with tabloidal drivel to
ensure the Pub Gobber will always have someone elses thoughts or opinions readily
available to be flaunted as their own. The delivery techniques of presenters and admired
somebody's are often borrowed by the P.G.s. As are the parroted throw-away lines;
regurgitated clichés; knowing nods; smart-arse poses etc. The P.G. is, in fact, a shallow
thinking parody of a parrot.
Challenge their opions and you will be talked to as though you were the one who needs a
brain. Offer a conflicting thought and it will be disparragingly rammed down you throat.
Total conviction is their domain. 'All knowing' is their aura, and humility is a word that they
have never understood nor a feeling that they will ever experience.
Today's challenge: Go to any pub, club, winebar etc. and do a P.G. impersonation. Your
subject will be - How the media provides the Common Man with his opinions. To protect
you from B.H. I strongly recommend that you do not use the 'P.G.' reference. Stick to
calling him "the Common Man" and you will be safe. In a P.G.'s mind he is not a common
man.
