for the love of…

You know how it ends.

Worshipping Wealth

Wuhan, China: People burn incense to worship the god of wealth at a Buddhist temple.

But if you stand too close to a red-hot star, this is what happens:

Elliot Mintz at Paris Hilton’s birthday party

[ Elliot Mintz, Paris Hilton‘s PR ]... finally succeeded in doing what publicist-watchers had long feared he would, managing to squeeze not just his nose, but his entire head and neck up his demanding client’s hindquarters.

For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows

Stephen Fry’s ding-a-ling. let me show u it

Sorry, I’m on a lolroll. Like a rickroll, but lol-ier. Allow Stephen Fry, possibly greatest living Brit of his generation, to explain the essential difference between the British and the American peoples, in this ad for Twining’s Tea which I stole from EliyahuBenMoshe.

I think that sweet Tyrone knows all about his ding-a-ling, don’t you?

Listen Up!

There are bandleaders in Brooklyn starving because of people like me. Thanks, Jack Valenti, for giving all Canadians the right to freely download music from the internet. I mean, I’ll miss the hell out of Dal Richards when he goes, but it’s him or this Slave 4 U remix, and one must have priorities!

Then vs Now: the decline and fall, from an equine perspective

Then:

George Stubbs Lion Attacking Horse

George Stubbs A Lion Attacking A Horse was painted sometime around 1765… The horse is majestic but doomed, the lion, a ravaging monster. It’s Claude Lorraine meets Lord of The Rings.

Lion on Horseback

The shocking pictures come from the animal park at Xiamen in Fujian, south-east China, where the public seem to delight in humiliating circus-style stunts and have no regard for animal cruelty. Conditions are poor, with big cats including lions, tigers and leopards and other large animals including bears kept in solitary confinement in tiny cages.

So I see the fin was a little late this siècle.
