So very appropriate.
Nov. 4th, 2004 10:38 pmI just reached this page in Transmetropolitan, and it seemed worth transcribing... it's a monologue by the main character, Spider Jerusalem, presented as an educational advert aimed at teaching young people about politics.
You want to know about voting. I'm here to tell you about voting.
Imagine you're locked in a huge underground nightclub filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnameable things that rape pit bulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight.
You like to put your feet up and watch [a soap opera]. They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns, and brand-new sexual organs that you did not know existed.
So you vote for television, and everyone else, as far as your eye can see, votes to fuck you with switchblades.
That's voting.
You're welcome.
