Scandal
They've done it!
They're out there for everyone to see.
Holy Hosanna!
What's gonna happen now?!
I mean it's unbelievable!
Scandalous!
So many names connected!
Famous people!
The super rich!
The super twisted!
Denial—denial—denial!
Of course.
Careers crash diving.
Politicians and celebrities hoisted by their own petards.
Governments toppled.
The sickest things imaginable—they're in there.
Those files. Millions of them!
Some say they're polluted with red herrings.
Some say it's a distraction.
So this is how the world really works?
Hidden behind the scenes?
The average Johnny Lunch-pail and Sally Housecoat couldn't imagine?
What a mess!
So much splainin' to do.
It keeps getting worse too!
The names involved!
Exposed and tarnished.
Damage control in overdrive.
And all of us—can't get enough!
What a show stopper.
Bread and circus time.
The Human Show!
The most insane perverted ones get top billing.
Infamous legends.
Tabloid tinsel for the masses.
What does it really mean?
What is the take away?
That we're capable of any act: good or bad?
Some choose one, some the other?
All for power and money?
Apples don't fall far from the tree.
Especially the rotten ones.
Bad news sells—good news doesn't?
Scandal's on the menu folks.
Dig in!
It sure is rocking the elite and political establishment over here in the UK. Good question - 'What is the takeaway here?' It strikes me as the pivotal moment inviting reflection. It suggests that society is both obesessed and complicit in all this scandal. For me just that line implies that amidst the sensationalism, there is a truth about human nature and societal values. Ultimately, do we learn anything meaningful from these revelations or are we merely entertained and desensitized to them, knowing nothing much will be done to the super elite.
Bingo! You got it.
