In Cannes recently, along with all the rough diamonds that humanity can provide and all its glitz and glam, there has been a strike going on to protest the cuts in unemployment benefits that the French have had to suffer.
Now to put it in context, film festivals and strikes are the two things that the French know how to do with consummate ease. It would be hard to discern whether the French prefer a good film festival or a good strike, both having merits that are peculiar to themselves.
While the strikers and paparazzi had to humble themselves with the public places of Cannes, Hollywood’s young gods are having parties in the divinely expensive and Olympian privacy of the Hotel du Cap. The Carlton (another luxurious hotel which usually harbours divinity when it comes into Cannes) has only just been able to provide full service after they threatened their striking staff with the hiring of replacement workers if they didn’t leave their god forsaken socialist selves at the door.
The thing that makes this interesting to me is that this provides the perfect example of a trend that is emerging in the wider world.
Are we soon two become a two-tier economy, with the top tier being, comprised entirely of A-list celebrities and A-grade/Premier League sports stars, crushing the rest of us who are running nations and economies purely to support their wages and whims.
It would not be inconceivable to imagine a world in which these “Blessed ones” (as a category we should limit this species to humans who earn, lets say, over $20 million a year and have their pictures in the mags and rags at least 3 times a week) choose to inhabit a whole continent (why do I suspect that they would choose North America, or maybe I’m disregarding the lazy luxury of the tropics).
They just buy it all up like Real Estate and pay all who had previously considered themselves to be Canadian American and Mexican to move to Australia - a vast empty continent, which is close enough to America to ease the suffering of those recently bereaved of their countries. The Mexicans and Canadians might be disappointed though.
This new “Super Continent”, a place that needs no power stations because they have personalities that light up all on their own, will be a resource sucking, movie making, make-up wearing, blockbuster making, and world record breaking machine.
Of course the rest of the world will be consigned to a lifetime of slavery. Producing the frocks and booze and drugs and self help books that this nation of defective light bulbs needs.
Supposedly they don’t need food, but this won’t make it any easier as we will have to sell our harvests to pay bribes to educate our children. The enlightened ones of La-la Land have deemed education heretical as it hurts their box office takings.
Of course there would be an entire nation of lawyers to take care of their breaches of international law. I would think that this would be the entirety of Great Britain, that country that has had so long an esteemed judicial tradition.
This all sound like fantasy, but if the salaries, contracts and percentages of films keep on going up – it’s going to sound more like common sense for them and more like slavery under new masters for us.
It would be better of each of them buying an entire, single nation and having the entire population bowing out their feet. This way at least we wouldn’t have to put up with the bastards wondering around in our midst.
