Death shopping.

Bananas in the Falklands hates both shopping and sport, but this strikes me as a new spectator sport for the west end of London.

Seydou Diarrassouba, from Mitcham, south-west London, was killed following a fight in a Foot Locker store on Monday afternoon.

Eleven people, all aged between 16 and 22, have been arrested and are being questioned by officers.

Wow.  OK i have discussed the chav and asbo nature of the west end here before but the spectacular nature on display requires a nature show like documentary with Sir david attenborough narrating it.  Not only did they manage to close the road (economic terrorism?) over a pair of sport shoes. But made a new sport.

Imagine a ring two chavs enter, only one leaves*, the prize a pair of chinese made sport shoes for them to then shoplift.  I have the best ideas don’t  I.

the nike air stab

I name this sport deathchav., perhaps nike could sponsor people.  Perfect for tv as well.  Rupert Murdoch should buy its tv rights.   If you can read this is a fun book it might be a bit tricky for chav’s though.

Cool eh ?

Would you like to be a government ? after all in England the humans are voting for something like that today.

Jenifer Government Is a book and also a game http://www.nationstates.net/nation=madballerinas which i have a nation in, you are welcome to join in – you may get my humour or not it is up to you.

fiction ? in 2008 the nike 'air stab' where taken off the market for promoting knife crime in the uk.

The book isbn 0349117624 and published in 2003 imagines a world where nike kills its clients in order to get street cred and be fashionable so its a sideways look at globalisation, Chomsky and branding (my blog).

co starring Charton Heston with his nutty national rifle association (nra) fans.

There are other well known names in this tale.  Which is not at all depressing but at times damm funny with the nra shooting down jumbo jets and killing teenagers makes it the sane voice of logic on guns today.

Nike seem to have taken the book seriously in some regards (google bloodied trainers) and have tried to ignore it in other ways which is a shame.

For the game 5/5 bananas, Book 3/5 bananas.  An interesting read.
