Destined for Greatness
Apparently believing in yourself is not enough. After watching this “audition,” phrases such as “you can do anything you set your mind to” and “believe and you will achieve” are nothing more than boldfaced lies. As silly a video as this was, it has made me re-evaluate my beliefs about the world.
It is true that individuals don’t need natural talent to achieve great success.
- A young man who was cut from his school’s varsity basketball team once went on to become the greatest player of all time; his name is Michael Jordan. With hard work much is possible.
- A young man who repetitively put the lives of innocent American motorists at risk by driving intoxicated once went on to become The President of the United States; his name is George W. Bush. With Republicans much is possible.
So what’s the verdict on Eccentric? Could he really “blow up bigger than Michael Jackson?” It’s a stretch, but yes. With a society that loves reality television, and finds not faults with programs such as The Biggest Loser and movies like The Ringer, how far are we from disregarding all shreds of consideration, privacy, and decency? Will we embrase our inner filth? Is Flavor of Love a stepping-stone to The World’s Smartest Retard? With the FOX network much is possible.
So Eccentric’s chances at being more famous than Michael Jackson come down to three options.
- Get diagnosed as handicapped to compete on FOX network in an upcoming program that masks making fun of the mentally handicapped with some sort of human spirit overcoming adversity contest.
- Build a ranch, buy some candy, design a clown suit, lose a puppy, and hang out at playgrounds.
- Run for President.
