Even George Orwell couldn't make it up. As is, I love my ritualised tribal warfare surrogates. When it comes to football I can happily cry: "Go Airstrip One, Go!"

Is Orwell and his "1984" the best association to make to this corporatocracy? Orwell was so focused on the state and the party, rather than a business elite. The idea of a corporatocracy might be a little too contemporary for Orwell.

idk, I've long thought football and Eurovision were relatively benign war replacements in Western Europe.

Eurovision...the anti-culture idea of a song contest. Once won by a group with some compositional talent...sometime in prehistory, or as we know it, the '70's.

Poland was robbed by that bearded lady though.

1984 was yesterday. We live in 1985.

I know...they privatised it. :)

Big brother is now brought to you by Coke, Budweiser, and Monsanto: corporate sponsors of two-minute hate.
