The Problem with Sheep.

Its true that many of us take after our parents. I for one hate the fact that I look just like my dad when he was my age. Love it or hate it though I've been taught an important lesson in life - never be a sheep. When I say sheep I am of course referring to people following others in an attempt to conform, though it would also be equally as bad to get naked and eat grass in a field.

Sad thing is its true. People will always follow each other regardless of the consequences. Like the other day when getting a paper at WH Smith people were happily standing in line at the downstairs till oblivious to the fact standing there would take more than 5 minutes when they could use the tills upstairs or downstairs, which when I went to were empty. You really should take some time out of each day to sit and watch people go through life like mindless cattle.

Of course these sheep like tendencies are a foundation of our society and it really annoys me. Its leading to a society with a lack of innovation or need to break out of the mould. Applying this to games then there's the infamous EA strategy of poorly copying games and releasing the same thing under a different title each year. Music wise there's a lot of music coming out but a lot of rubbish cover versions (yes i'm talking about you Fallout Boy), dire 'remixs' (just die Kid Rock) and bland attempts at rock that are hardly iconic and will be forgot about in a months time (you know who you are, we can't remember however). As for movies well there's waves of bad films which sadly can't be countered by the occasional good unique film. And yes I blame Uwe Boll for a large part of those bad films.

Why the sudden influx of poor quality entertainment? Generation sheep happily following each other into ruination. Now is the time to get rid of this bad trend just like that weird stain on the pillow. Be yourself and bollocks to what others think of you. I encourage you all to go about life in a weird and bizarre way before we all end up stuck with regulation haircuts and an abundance of the colour grey all thanks to the Government shephards brainwashing their herd with the false promise of green grass.
