Live Earth Consumption Orgy
Went up to Wembley Stadium to see Live Earth. I cannot think of to many things more inappropriate to bring attention to the state of the planet than an alcohol and rock fueled orgy of consumption.
The bands ranged from good to great but the highlights for me was seeing Wembley Stadium itself. It was awesome. It’s just a pity they don’t play rugby there.
My humour highlight was Thandie Newton’s small piece to air. She started by saying:
“Someone once said …”
At this stage I was thinking I bet she was too lazy to even bother to find out and credit the author of the quote she is stealing. She finished:
“… with power comes responsibility.”
Then I didn’t know when to laugh or cry. Not only did she steal someone else’s quote but she also butchered it. Everyone knows that the line “With great power comes great responsibility” is by Spiderman’s uncle Ben. So I started yelling “Uncle Ben said it! Uncle Ben said it!” But it was still early in the day and people hadn’t drunk very much so everyone just edged away from me and looked nervous.
