George Orsmell

Finally! What i've always wanted! ......George Orwells "1984" the Opera! Remember that interesting and well written propaganda piece "1984" by George Orwell? Well picture it as an Opera! Interested?!?! Me neither. It was a decent book though, i'll admit that. But seriously Orwell was WAY off about 1984. Here's a comparison of Orwells nightmarish 1984 and the actual year of 1984.



ORWELL's 1984:

Ministries of Oceania - Control Peace, Penty, Love and Truth

The Party - WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

Newspeak - politicians' language

Thought Police - control not only the speech and actions, but also the thoughts of its subjects

Room 101 - torture chamber in which a prisoner is subjected to his worst nightmare.

Big Brother - oppressive control over individuals

doublethink - misuse of language, and the deliberate self-deception

ACTUAL 1984:

"Where's the Beef?"

Michael Jackson's scalp is seriously burned by pyrotechnics during filming of a Pepsi commercial.

President Reagan calls for an international ban on chemical weapons.

Vanessa Williams becomes the first Miss America to resign when she surrenders her crown after nude photos of her appeared in "Penthouse" magazine.

Band Aid

Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, Ghostbusters, The Terminator, Back to the Future, Dune, Indiana Jones

Metallica released Ride the Lightning, Prince released Purple Rain.

Highway to Heaven debuts on NBC, The Cosby Show debuts on NBC, Who's The Boss debuts on ABC, Miami Vice debuts on NBC, Murder, She Wrote debuts on CBS.

Births- Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson, Mandy Moore

....and it was the name of my favorite Van Halen album .... "Might as well JUMP!!!"

So see, Orwell was in idiot. Remember that interesting and well-written propaganda piece "Animal Farm". Orwell cracks me up, he wrote books speaking out against things such as propaganda....yet what he writes IS propaganda. Leave the prop writing to the Nazi's, they had that down pat. I was watching a thing on the Nazi's recently and it showed how they sent all handicapped people to the gas chambers.....and I was like SO WHAT! Who cares. We killed that stupid Terry Shiavo! Whats the difference.....man everyone is always on Hitlers case. (If I offend anyone I apologize....i know not what I do for I am an alien)

Whats wrong with Texas...first they pass a law to allow Bible class in public schools and now they want to do away with sexy cheerleader....what am I talking about you ask?? Read it HERE.

Brave New World is a good Iron Maiden song.

This was very clever. Sorry, I have nothing wry to say.
