This is Academy Awards weekend ... wherein Oscar, the golden statue that thespians aspire to most, has
just appeared on Hollywood Boulevard … doing what actors and actresses there do best
… snorting two lines of cocaine … see: Hollywood Reporter Story.
This is a right-on social commentary by the street artist, Plastic Jesus, about the culture
of Glitter Town and how magnanimous the people there are to our neighbors to
the south, Mexico. The residents of Hollywood and its surrounds send billions of
dollars of foreign aid every year to this country in the form of
payment-in-kind for this white-powder elixir … see: The Wages of Sin.
Matter of fact, it is surprising that the organizers of Oscar-night
… you know that orgy of self-aggrandizement … do not pack those traditional
multi-thousand-dollar goodie bags proffered at these festivities … with at least
a 10 cent bag of this omnipresent staff of life.
Yet these good-looking and well-appointed frauds there feel it is their moral obligation to point out cinematically any slight failings in the rest of American society.
Isn't that special?
Afterward: For those of you who doubt my reference to billions of dollars of drug money going to Mexico ... here is a picture of $22 billion siezed at a Mexican drug lord's estate. And to read the details of same, please go to: Makes the World Go Around. Muse on this while you watch the Oscars on Sunday night. For this very reason, I, for one, won't be a viewer.
After Afterward: I came across a breakdown of what is in the $125,000 goodie bag (swag bag) of the Oscar nominees and it does not contain even one ounce of cocaine (but it does include a vibrator) ... see:Variety Story.
