Comedians And Money Men. It’s Up To Bloggers To Take The Stage

November 12, 2009

Now that the money men have taken us all for a ride and misused our money, the only way to have a go at them is to mock and ridicule them. And who better to do that than comedians of all shapes and sizes and political orientation. Because most comedians always tell us that they take a strong stand against vested interests and big business.

That is how they are, you see. They are independednt minded people and would laugh at anything.

I have been hearing a lot recently about stand-up comedians in Britain supposedly making life very tough for the hated bankers. You know, mocking and ridiculing them and generally taking the piss, like comedians do. To listen to some people, top names in stand-up comedy are now mercilessly going after the money men and taking no prisoners.

So I looked into this matter and I’m sorry to report to you that comedians are giving the money men an easy ride. I even think that the slimy bankers in Britain have not only managed to buy up everyone in the government and in the media but they are probably quietly sponsoring most of the comedians as well so as to avoid any ridicule and mockery.

There is not a single stand-up comedy act on the whole circuit and not a single comedy show on television or radio that actually hits the fat cats of the banking world hard. If you know of any, please be free to inform us at StirringTroubleInternationally. Or send us your own jokes about the money men. We would love to share a laugh with you at their expense.

I have not heard a single British comedian deliver any edgy stuff about the shameful way the Labour government has bailed out the banks with about a trillion pounds of taxpayers’ money. Not to mention the fact that a Scottish Prime Minister and his Scottish Chancellor have given Scottish banks (I hope you see the irony in this) hundreds of billions of pounds of public money just because they felt like it. Comedians should have made mince meat out of Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling for the way they squandered taxpayers’ money but instead they keep on telling bland jokes about relationships, sex, booze, going to the toilet and other rubbish. Only very occasionally do they mention the current crisis but it always sounds so unconvincing and irrelevant that you wonder what the hell is going on.

The money men have ripped Britain off and are getting away got away with! Who the hell wants to hear about farting and shagging? Bring us the heads of the bankers on a plate. We want to see them suffer. We want to laugh at them.

Most money men are perfect targets for comedians anyway. They are greedy and vulgar, they are vain beyond belief and they say the most stupid things you can ever imagine. I know, I have met a lot of them. And yet, when you would expect the comedians to go after them like a pack of wolves you hear some pathetic drivel about bankers losing their money and having to work for a living for the first times in their lives.

What has Britain come to when TV shows like Have I Got News For You or Mock The Week are considered risqué and provocative? And how could it be that none of the commercial TV channels or radio stations has any worthwhile satire on them? We are in the midst of a recession caused by the greedy money men. Where is the backlash from the comedy crowd, where are the jokes that would make the money men hang their heads in shame?

I have personally never liked Have I Got News For You and I absolutely deplore Mock The Week. The people on them might just as well come out as Labour party supporters and get it over with. It is absolutely amazing that the viewers cannot distinguish humour from political propaganda. I suspect that many people have been simply brainwashed by political correctness to such an extent that they can no longer distinguish good comedy from bad.

The sad fact is that comedians nowadays love money more than their trade. So do not expect them to poke fun at bankers. They love them to bits. They will shield them because they know that they will be paid for their betrayal. So it is left to bloggers to take the stage, so to speak, and make life hell for the money men.
