The Stingray of Capitalism Part 2

I saw this at the other end of the art market, although I suspect the ends are the same. $11000 reduced to $5000. Fucking horrible. This is from phone. Not sure if this photo works.

    there was a sketch on “Not the Nine O’clock News’ where Mel Smith goes into a gift shop and lovingly handles all the glass animals deciding which one is best, then buys it.

    he then smashes it on the floor and jumps up and down on the pieces screaming “I hate it, I hate it!”

              Both groups have tried to milk me for all their worth and have sought to manipulate and play games with my life to suit their own purposes [have been constantly stalked by ‘Pop princesses’ such as britney spears, beyonce, lady gaga, robbie williams ‘Pink’ etc etc etc, all having their little say on my life in one way or another, along with japanese super-millionaires with purist japanese nationalist agenda’s as well the christian right fringe like opus dei with their resurgent christian Popist/heirarchist motivations and by other extreme right christian anglican/protestant nationalist groups like the Masons a cult-like group of covert individuals that revere ‘whiteness’ no matter the skin color of their brethern so long as they share whiteness on the inside, the Masons are driven by a philosophical outlook that requires all within the realms of the anglo cultural empire whether they like it or not, [esp certain individuals] be made to submit to the Masons idea of ‘puritanical whiteness’ ie., the view that the shineing glory of god is radiated out from beneath the reigning english monarchs behind [whomever that happens to be at the time] and any who happen to not accord with this puritanical mindset will almost certainly be bloody well madeover to fit this mindset soon enough all for the greater glory of the british empire and anglo-protestantism everywhere.
              This includes the evangelist element of america such as mel gibson the scientology brigade like tom cruise/ john travolta and over the last few years have noticed a right-wing Indian element attempt to incorporate or use aspects of my writings with which to enhance their own Hindu nationalist motivations-namely certain hollywood script writers for instance-and have been fairly overtly stalked by these groups of people.

                    “Dear cousin,
                    I got your letter
                    It was more than i thought i deserved
                    Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of
                    And i dream about so much it is absurd
                    But when i get there and she sees me
                    I’ll be impressed if she does not run screaming

                    My kind of love is an ugly love
                    But it’s real and it lasts a long, long time

                    I had a thought while i was sleeping
                    And i dreamed about a place for us to rest
                    Eternity under the old oak tree
                    But i go too far i guess
                    Maybe i’ll think about tomorrow
                    And maybe i can get her to stay that long

                    ’cause my kind of love is an ugly love
                    But it’s real and it lasts a long, long time

                    And if she finds me so repulsive
                    She wouldn’t be the first to wretch
                    Well i decided one day long ago
                    I was never gonna be the greatest catch
                    And if she cares about the car i drive
                    Then she can get in hers
                    The moment i arrive

                    ’cause my kind of love is an ugly love
                    But it’s real and it lasts a long, long time”
