(continued from yesterday, hate-love, love-hate, hate-hate. Apple, German Telekom, Google, Facebook, Oracle.)
The pattern: First they build up these huge dark and in a way invisible empires no matter what. Then they donate. They save us. You, me, the Africans, the world.
The Internship (Prakti.com in Germany) is a feature length Hollywood movie set at Google. Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn are two salesmen who get fired and are too old to hire at Google but get a coveted internship. They must compete with a group of young, tech-savvy nerds to get employed. British film critic Mark Kermode called The Internship “the longest advert I’ve seen in the cinema” and “one of the most witless, humourless, vomit-inducingly horribly self-satisfied, smug, unfunny comedies I have ever seen.”
This image suggests that you get a look behind Google, see it from the back. Where is Google? Behind the Logo? The visible and the invisible. And the Wedding Crashers? Why do they do this?
This is Bill Gates, a photo by Martin Fengel, with more bills around him. (Neuros, which we made for our Speculative Mahagonny Opera in Bremen in June/ soon more about that / We also made a procession for Snowdon/Manning/Assange and the finale was “Mozartbique vs. Google Glass“) The Bills is a shamanistic ritual to get rich myself and an expression for my love-hate for this man. Not that I hate Gates for Microsoft and love him for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Or vice versa. It’s much more complicated. I had this photo on my computer desktop as background and my grandmother asked if this would be standard on every computer. I like this idea. It should be. As an honour and as a warning.
Not only our way of trading, paying and shopping changes.
My father provides me with Breaking Bad DVDs.
Here is Miley Cyrus in her Rolling Stone interview with Josh Ellis:
“America is just so weird in what they think is right and wrong,” she continues. “Like, I was watching Breaking Bad the other day, and they were cooking meth. I could literally cook meth because of that show. It’s a how-to. And then they bleeped out the word ‘fuck.’ And I’m like, really? They killed a guy, and disintegrated his body in acid, but you’re not allowed to say ‘fuck’? It’s like when they bleeped ‘molly’ at the VMAs. Look what I’m doing up here right now, and you’re going to bleep out ‘molly’? Whatever.”
(breaking news: Kim Dotcom will spend millions to support the New Zealand boat. What about Roman Abramovich?)
I still hate Putin and the jihadists.
Good Night.
