there is no end to the mania and utter bizarreness that happens every day. usually it is not quite this extreme. in the way to the third in a series of budget meetings (can you hear the joy in my voice?) a sudden sound erupted from the entrance of the driveway to our offices. honestly my first thought was that someone was being attacked by a wild animal. more accurately, that a group of teenage girls was being attacked. the incessant high pitched shrieking was terrifying! what are they shrieking? "SHIMIIIIIIIIII! SHIMMMMIIIII!!!!!" what in the world...????
big brother is a television show not only in the usa, but in other locations around the world. copy-cat shows. in the same way that "american idol" is a take-off of a british program and "america's next top model" also has "australia's next top model" and "the taliban's next top model" (just kidding about the taliban) we have our own "big brother" here. with cable service you can order a channel which runs a LIVE broadcast 24/7 of these people stuck in one house together.
oh...and let us not forget, this season is "celebrity big brother". sigh.
and for the record, their studio location is, that's right, 100 meters from my office. double sigh.
so we have many rabid star crazed fans coming to our office not to try to see the stars, but to SCREAM loud enough to be heard. and today, being like every other day, had those fans coming again. yet today, unbeknownst to us, there is a twist. do you see that picture above? yep, you guessed it. the celebs. from big brother. hanging in a cage. from a crane. over the tv studio.
"SHIIIIIIMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIII!!!!!" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimi_Tavori)
at least the girls weren't being attacked by a wild dog.
