To Schwalbe or Not to Schwalbe.


(No German gay references please. This a serious subject)
After reading the banter between Mr Savage and Mr Owen about diving(Simulation).I did feel Owen was just trying to be honest in his own straightforward way, below is a quote and a bit about diving.

Owen quote – ‘a dive is sometimes not a dive if a player tumbles to the ground when he could have stayed on his feet’.

 

Diving Traits:
  • The player moves further than would be expected from the momentum of the tackle (Bale Style)
  • lack of contact consistency (the player nurses a body part other than where the impact occurred, such as contact to the chest causing the player to fly to the ground, holding his face).

Pierluigi Collina  -‘If touched and fouled, a player has every right to go to ground.’

With only three outcomes for a team playing football - winning, drawing or losing and with all the tribalism involved. Players are under pressure to do what it takes to win. (Remember two things - Cheating is more efficient and deceptive behaviour occurs in some humans when the potential rewards outweigh punishments)
I not saying it right and my views would obviously be more upsetting if the team I am supporting has been directly affected, but I understand why it happens and would go as far to say one style of diving is more acceptable than another.
Imagine Rooney diving (simulating) in a world cup final and England win the world cup via that. (I would only complain for 10 mins at best)
When it comes to diving, people just need to be more rationale, instead of trying to ridicule and gain the spotlight for something most would do if given the opportunity to gain an advantage. Should things be introduced to stop diving (Style you choose is up to you.)of course, but Witch hunting is not the way forward.

The Possession – (Super Jew Time)


Watching the film tame called The Possession was a chore at times.Until the film took the Super Jewish route and introduced – Matisyahu. (Maybe exaggerating, but it was the usual Daddy and Daughter storyline. Horror genre should do it Mother and Son style – creepy, but should work. However, I digress.


Every time (Matisyahu) - Tzadok appeared on screen it gave the film a sense of originality and something different. Which made me think that having more Jewish or a combination of different religious figures or beliefs could be a good thing in a movie when its comes to Good Vs Evil or Demons vs. Divorced family’s.









(Tzadok shaking his hair had me stitches every time, also the strange looks he provided when told of this great looking Demon)

However, one more thing to add – There is definitely an Inside joke when it comes to some Directors. Another ‘Black’ individual gets killed again. Come on Broski, she was the one with a proper job. – Teacher. Spoiler Alert -  (Even the Dentist/Potential Husband was not killed off correctly – Film never pronounced him dead.His GF did not take long to get over him, if so)

What would be Best “political prop” for the UK and USA?


After watching The Daily Show for the first time via TV and not paid for through iTunes or viewed via proxy (rant over) It was pleasant viewing and about time this happened (but what about Mr. Colbert?!) However the segment I referring to featured the UK's funniest import John Oliver trying to find the perfect USA democrat props minus the yellow stripe down their back.

 

In general It's about finding the right stereotype to please the masses. Perfect combination for the USA would be Gay (we all love and respect the them. Have to really) A non real American (Latin or Black) Class- Middle with a well know job title everyone can relate to and be proud of – Army (Iraq and Afghan preferred) and walking everyday with Jesus is always a great bonus. Language has to be clear English. So all can understand dialogue. (Don't know why no one has thought Chinese or Asian combo would be great).

Would a disabled angle be good? Here in the UK that would actually work with the Superhuman Olympics coming soon. Army related injury would draw attention as always. Something about fighting for a flag/country just brings out strange irrational reactions that defy belief from somepeople - Sarah Palins quote last-night was a classic example  of just incredible 'Trace decay'

Maybe the words of the 'Dark One' will see her be less vocal this election.

Ultimate combo for me would be - Banker whom served in army who is gay or saved by one who is Gay and is a fiscal conservative. 

 
Republic prop or any political figure needs to have substance but maybe minus logic and memory, if that makes sense. Logic - 'Valid Reasoning’ or 'System of reasoning' something most politicians don't seem to understand or need. It would be great to see the republican/conservative party find the perfect prop for the masses to relate to, but I need to pay more attention to UK and USA's up and coming party leaders.
