O conhecimento mutuo é a via para a paz duradoura

A propósito do mundial de futebol, o Guardian fez um pequeno guia com o essencial sobre cada país. Escrito por um escocês, Kevin McCarra. Excertos:

Argentina:

"Argentinians see their country as combining European art, culture and architecture with the opportunities provided by life in the new world. Which means you can wander with the gauchos but still get Eurotrash on cable."

Espanha:

"Manuel Cáceres, better known as Manolo, el del bombo, the team's self-styled No12, has been following Spain and banging «that fucking drum™» since the 1982 World Cup. The rotund Valencia bar owner returned from supporting the side in 1987 to find his family had walked out on him, a bittersweet timpani if ever there was one."

EUA:

"National monument: The Statue of Liberty, still the cheapest way to get inside a woman in New York."

Alemanha:

"The efficiency of Germany's social institutions, infrastructure and economic success has created a nation that is increasingly at ease with itself – it's not sexy dance music, or looking cool on a scooter, but hey…"

Uma das secções chama-se "The Triesman tapes ... what he didn't say", referindo-se ao ex-director da Federação Inglesa de Futebol, Lord Triesman, que foi apanhado por um tablóide a dizer à secretária e amante que se sabia que os espanhóis estavam, junto com os russos, a planear subornar árbitros e trinta por uma linha. Eis o que ele diria:

Portugal:

"Port-swilling, showboating, piri piri-splashing winkers with tiny custard tarts and music so depressing it makes Leonard Cohen sound cheery."

Holanda:

"Clog-barmy, bicycling, barge dwellers and mouse-blighted Windy Millers living in a place so flat you can watch your dog run away for five days."

França:

"Onion-touting, amphibian-limb amputators and dead sheep arsonists who will get into bed with anyone to stop us getting what we deserve."

Inglaterra:

"This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, this other Eden, demi-paradise... this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this Ingerland."

A espessura do racismo

The Morgue (Jane Doe killed by police) (1991), Andres Serrano

"She’s a black woman. But she’s been in the morgue for over two months because she’s a Jane Doe, and as a result, she’s starting to decompose and if you look really closely, there are patches of white skin. I asked the doctor and he confirmed that there is white skin under black skin. A teacher of his once took a very thin slice of skin off a cadaver and showed it to his students and said, «This is the thickness of racism.»"

Tom Waits, Jean-Baptiste Mondino

Revendo o post aí em baixo com o Tibet e o Olga, lembrei-me como, há uns anos, fiquei uns tempos sem conseguir ouvir Tom Waits depois de um amigo ter-lhe chamado Joe Cocker. Custou a sair do sistema, essa.

A mesma música no Letterman e uma curta entrevista:

Carlos Queiroz

Tenho a sensação que o Queiroz teria dificuldade em motivar dois coelhos a acasalarem.

Fuck the motherfucker

Fuck the motherfucker (2010), Tim Minchin + Fraser Davidson

Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker,
Fuck the motherfucker, he's a fucking motherfucker.
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the fucking fucker,
Fuck the motherfucker, he's a total fucking fucker
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucker,
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck him, fuck the motherfucker.
Fuck the motherfucker, fuck the motherfucking pope.

Fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker
If you think that motherfucker is sacred.
If you cover for another motherfucker who's a kiddy-fucker,
Fuck you, you're no better than the motherfucking rapist.
And if you don't like the swearing that this motherfucker forced from me
And reckon it shows moral or intellectual paucity
Then fuck you motherfucker, this is language one employs
When one is fucking cross about fuckers fucking boys

I don't give a fuck if calling the pope a motherfucker
Means you unthinkingly brand me an unthinking apostate.
This has nowt to do with other fucking godly motherfuckers
I'm not interested right now in fucking scriptural debate.
There are other fucking songs and there are other fucking ways,
I'll be a religious apologist on other fucking days,
But the fact remains if you protect a single kiddy fucker
Then Pope or Prince or Plumber, you're a fucking mother fucker.

You see, I don't give a fuck what any other motherfucker
Believes about Jesus and his motherfucking mother.
I've no problem with the spiritual beliefs of all these fuckers
While those beliefs don't impact on the happiness of others,
But if you build your church on claims of fucking moral authority
And with threats of hell impose it on others in society,
Then you, you motherfuckers, can expect some fucking wrath
When it turns out you've been fucking us in our motherfucking asses.

So fuck the motherfucker, and fuck you motherfucker
If you're still a motherfucking papist.
If he covered for a single motherfucker who's a kiddy-fucker,
Fuck the motherfucker, he's as evil as the rapist.
And if you look into your motherfucking heart and tell me true
If this motherfucking stupid fucking song offended you,
With its filthy fucking language and its fucking disrespect,
If it made you feel angry, go ahead and write a letter,
But if you find me more offensive than the fucking possibility
The pope protected priests when they were getting fucking fiddly
Then listen to me motherfucker — this here is a fact —,
You are just as morally misguided as that motherfucking,
Power-hungry, self-aggrandized bigot in the stupid fucking hat.

Entretanto, entre nós, parece que o problema é a distribuição de preservativos que vai ocorrer durante os discursos/homilias/what not do Herr Joseph Ratzinger.
