... number 123456789!
because they're all cut
from the same damn mold,
these days -
all developed in chain,
from the damned "developmental"
hellhole called "NXT"
or from any other variety of
newfangled "power plants"
all across the globe
that keep churning out
hopefuls for the likes of
ROH, AEW, NWA, TNA, NJPW
and, yes, the wretched WWE!
So, no - we don't believe in reincarnation
nor do we think whatsisname from The Shield
to be a vampire who hasn't aged since 1886!
We just know them all to be... a dime-a-dozen!
It's been that way for a long, loooooong time now!
Anybody with half-a-brain knows that!
Imagine somebody luminous - like me!

RIC
Nooooooooo - WOOOOO!
There is no one better, wilder, wittier,
crazier or dirtier than the
NATURE BOY!
RIC... FLAIR!
The dirtiest player in the game
(which doesn't detract from him being)
the greatest of all-time...!
WOOOOO!!

AEW
A REVOLUTION... they say!
And it certainly does feel like it
- does it not?!?
And when one hears Cody Rhodes say those words
- "we use the word REVOLUTION 'cause this is a
REVOLUTION!" -
it reverberates throughout time and history;
the history of wrestling, full of such bold statements.
But this is where and when it truly rings true;
more so than it ever did before...
It should have been the NWA Four Horsemen
changing things like this - but it was not quite it,
was it? Instead of Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard
and the Andersons, it's Kenny Omega, Cody Rhodes
and the Young Bucks having such a huge... IMPACT.
Huge, humongous impact on this industry:
the likes of which even ECW never was capable of.
Lately, ROH and Lucha Underground have tried, too...
TNA used to want to have this sort of "pull"
but the fans are now seeing it differently -
it is not meant to be them.
It is meant to be... this AEW REVOLUTION indeed!
A true revolution, without a doubt:
light years above what Shane Douglas could achieve
with his old ECW pals or the gang he formed
with two defecting Horsemen, the late great Eddie Guerrero
and Perry Saturn, in the latter days of WCW -
that was barely a true "revolution"
- it was more like mere dissension in the ranks
and its very leader wound up staying on
with the new regime, afterwards...!
CODY RHODES... did not do that.
He did depart - and led the way
to this "industry facelift" and "paradigm shift"
as Jon Moxley so deftly described... just before this:
Hmm... Already playing hardball, eh?
Those four guys:
CODY RHODES... KENNY OMEGA...
THE YOUNG BUCKS...
They truly are at the forefront of a true
REVOLUTION here:
it was not to be Ric Flair's Horsemen...
sure as hell not the nWo...
not Paul E. Dangerously's Alliance or ECW...
not any faction led by Shane Douglas...
NEVER going to be the Hart Foundation...
not Ring Of Honor - Jay Lethal or not...
not Wrestle Circus...
not Lucha Underground...
and definitely not TNA IMPACT.
(DX...?
It doesn't even deserve a mention!!)
ALL ELITE
WRESTLING
is it!
WRESTLING
is it!
now the only thing missing
is a sponsorship deal
with
A&W
The A&W Bear loooooooved WCW too!

RDJ
Recently, the versatile actor who certainly doesn't give a damn that he is
made the following declaration - if one believes the meme made out of it, that is:
I had to respond - under one of my most easily-identifiable guises...
(can you guess which one it is)
YEAH
- that's right -
REALLY!
U SUK RDJ!

Dr. Karla Turner
So then: we've had the likes of Arianna here, honored or exposed (depending on your very own perception, entirely - and hers, evidently!) as a "barbarian - luminous style"...! She has things to say and passes on information at such a rate that it could be said that she, er, radiates it? THAT is being a "barbarian... luminous style!" people! But we didn't stop there: we've had the likes of K.O. Kelly Oxford, that tweeting twitteress extraordinaire that transformed the rather dull process of summarizing your thoughts into 140 characters into some sort of artform - or, at least some think it to be the case. So she's not merely a blabbermouth or a motormouth on the web: she's spewing forth short and concise witticisms at such a rate that it is perhaps alarming - or simply as close as humanly-possible to light-speed, hence it has to be luminous... if only in style, only!
We've also had, of course, those who simply spat out nonsense with vigorous verve and that certain je-ne-sais-quoi that some call joie-de-vivre - such as former Governor General of Canada Michaelle Jean and her compatriote Michèle Richard, to have but two abysmal examples: now those (and their like) made the cut due to the fact that they were genuinely funny and incisive too - and that is luminous barbarism, right there, indubitably!
However, overviewing all of these (and the rest of them) that were spotlighted here on U.A.N.G.A.D. over time, we have to admit that we have but skimmed the surface of possible solid cases for the dubious title of modern-day barbarians - luminous style! There are far better specimens out there (or there were) - ones that are much, much more advanced in their sage unruliness, savant not-giving-a-damnness and wise luminescent barbarism overall! And here is just one of those right now, one who puts Arianna, Kelly, Michaelle and Michéle to shame, really (the latter two cancelled each other out anyways: and, the case could be made, now more than ever, that, perhaps, the former two cancel each other out, too! But that is another story...) however, alas, this one is one who is no longer with us...
Dr. Karla Turner was a specialist of another breed - she was shunned by her peers as some sort of "loon" surely, but the fact was that she was not. Rumors abound that she was in fact MURDERED for sharing so candidly her findings, innermost beliefs and top secret information, all in one breath, almost - all in her last breath, almost, too. For, as you can see and hear (below and elsewhere on the web) Karla Turner did far more than share little tidbits of disparate thoughts on a social networking site like Kelly O does: Karla Turner shared terrifying facts about reprehensible behaviour at various levels of your military forces, the scientific elite, the powers-that-be and their associated agencies at varied levels...
Hmm... another attempt at silencing Dr. Turner? Not gonna happen.

Hmm... another attempt at silencing Dr. Turner? Not gonna happen.
Eons ahead of a mere "conspiracy theorist" or anything of the sort, Karla Turner told the TRUTH: and paid the ultimate price for it ("ultimate" as we conceive of it, of course, in our rather short and oftentimes dismal earthly existences - of course. Nothing pessimistic or fatalistic about this: just being my old Realist-self and trying to reach as wide an audience as possible: and, truth be told, once again, the majority is quite simply not happy 99% of the time: hmm, where have we seen that number, again...? That's another story.) And she doesn't even have her own Wikipedia page for all her troubles! As she stated oftentimes, her work, her research, was dismissed by many as pure science-fiction: but it was always being paid the utmost attention to by those pesky powers-that-be, and she always knew it.
Karla Turner has to be liked by any child of the television age out there for so many reasons, too: but the fact is that one simple reason (if superficial one at best) suffices to explain it. The child of the television age will recognize in here echoes of some of their favorite TV heroes, the ones that championed the truth at all costs, regardless of possible consequences. She is, in fact, a female version (and quite improved version too) of the good ol' David Vincent character from that time-honored Quinn Martin production we all loved to watch, back in the day - through endless repeats or as a brand-new show, if you are old enough, of course... Light years above the humdrum renditions of truth-seekers of latter times (Mulder & Scully) David Vincent (or as I liked to call him: "D.V."!) was a normal individual yet a specialist too, a professional with everyday concerns and nothing else: until the day he became exposed to another reality, the hidden truth, and could not possibly keep mum about it, much less simply "get it out of his head" and go on with his routine as if nothing had happened... Once you know the truth, you cannot keep silent. The most cowardly will, though: but not the heroic, not the unruly heroic, not those who only give a damn about one thing and that thing is THE TRUTH! In brief, not the Karla Turners among us. She spread the word about what horrific things she found out and was silenced way before her time - way before her appointed time, appointed time by a Higher Power, meaning God, not E.T.s; just making that part clear, too... She left us at the age of 48, as she was only beginning to reach the masses with her findings. Many believe that, as it was the case with many others who represented hardcore evidence of these findings and were found dead shortly after, Dr. Turner's early demise was provoked and the cause of her death -an especially virulent kind of cancer- was induced and not naturally developed by her own body... She was effectively silenced - but, luckily, the recordings (and writings) remain and her voice can still be heard. Everywhere. And in many languages too...
Verily, Karla Turner is to be equated to a martyr or even a Joan of Ark of modern times. So yes...
Let's give the final word here to Dr. Karla Turner - for she deserves our attention far more than the Kelly Oxfords, Arianna Huffingtons, Oprah Winfreys or whatevers of our world these days...

Unhate Unruly Benetton
Benetton -or, really, Alessandro & Co- has done it again: in their efforts to be (or remain) the top dog in its domain, they've conjured up a series of doctored snapshots that makes any photoshop aficionado simply salivate in envy: okay, maybe that is not the appropriate statement to go with that just now, considering the nature of those photoshopped pics...!
Angela Merkel & Nicolas Sarkozy. Barack Obama & Hugo Chavez. The Pope and the Egyptian Imam. North Korea and South Korea leaders - Palestinian and Israeli - the works! All kissing and making up. All "unhating"...! What a concept for an ad campaign - heck, for a FOUNDATION, as Benetton swears there is such a thing as the "Unhate Foundation"(they probably meant to donate 10 cents on every portion of 100 dollars sold of highly-expensive trendy clothes to it - see what you ruined there by protesting too much, Vatican? But we're getting ahead of ourselves here...)
The Unhate Foundation - what a concept! And "exorcising the fear of the other" is their aim! It is truly a genial idea to create such a foundation: for, why share your profit by donating to an external one when you can create your own, keep all the cash flow within the ranks and keep and maintain the appearance of being one of those (highly) commercial enterprises that "gives back"...? It is an improvement upon a formula that was seen in Japan, in the United States too (of course) and, now (almost typoed it "nwo" here - wow), finally, in Europe, in mama Italia, cradle of all civilization (sorry, Greece!)
But all that is another story - let us concentrate, here and now, on the infamous ad campaign...! And, in order to just just that, let us, first and foremost, run through that series of disturbing shots - again:
Ah yes - we needed to see that again - didn't we?
(Actually, did we just see it again - or didn't we? Depends which way the wind is blowing on YouTube, Blogger and the net overall, really...! And on the good humor of your internet provider - and, of course, your home computer as well! All of them may protest as virulently and vehemently as the Vatican did, at any given time here...! But we are digressing now...)
This ad campaign has, of course, given rise to a storm of controversy on all levels, be it religious, political as even artistic and even ethical...!
For this campaign has sparked organized (highly so, really) guerrilla actions throughout the world (wherever there is a United Colors of Benetton banner, really...) so forget the Occupy movement - this one has professionally-doctored striking images to show the world!
So much so that it stirred Benetton to concoct an explanatory video to basically justify itself in its choice to greenlight this risky ad campaign at all in the first place; watch...
Even though it was all a fruitless, pointless and quite in vain explanation in the end (the ads have been pulled out) it still fueled conversation and every pundit in town (even those types that we have almost forgotten about - and some we barely know about) have gone over it, over and over again...
Benetton was once again successful -extremely successful- at raising awareness of an issue dear to them (they are, after all, the "United Colors of Benetton" - not just "Benetton"!) and, most importantly for them, at setting themselves widely apart from all of their competition because, after all is said and done, at the end of the mercantile day, Benetton is really nothing other than a clothing firm! A glitzy, slightly eccentric, off the charts Italian clothing firm, sure, but nothing else, really!
Benetton is unruly by choice and, in its constant effort to be relevant, make an impact, stand out from the sea of competitors out there, it estimates its right to invade the platform of great debates such as the one revolving around "what does it take to finally have world peace" and such. The campaign is withdrawn now but it will linger on in all media for quite a while longer and even if it is utopian, odd (to put it mildly) and all-around unlikely, it generates just what Benetton really wants, ultimately - publicity for its brand. And that, my friends, is pure genius, marketing-wise anyhow...! Never mind the fact that all the snapshots are obviously fake and none of that has a snowball-in-hell's chance of ever, EVER, EVER happening in the real world...! (Well, actually, Merkel and Sarkozy I could see happening - if Carla's in the middle? But all the others are pure/impure fantasy...! Hey - Blame it on Benetton! Ok?)
Thus, its latest crazy idea for an ad campaign "that stands out" got the shaft due to the Vatican, ironically, their own backyard pontiff and crew, who deemed it highly offensive, disturbing and downright disrespectful. It stood out, all right, this latest ad campaign - it stood out too much and went too far beyond the borders of the clothing and fashion galaxy! When it begins to broach universal subjects, and in such a vigorous "shake them up to wake them up and make them react" way, it is truly a case when the fashionistas are treading upon territory that is not theirs and where they should not tread.
For fine clothing is simply not the solution that will beget world peace!
And besides, everyone knows that there isn't a single imam, politician or any Pope in history that ever, EVER, dressed at Benetton's...! Come on...!
;-)
Having said all that - kudos to Alessandro Benetton for not giving up on this at all (when controversy rose and the Vatican condemned it) and for releasing a FILM now, which you can see below, one that carries forth the campaign to the everyman and everywoman confronted with hatred - to every potential customer, hence! A film that explores the very real and far more disturbing tendency that humankind has to intermingle love and hate, go from one to the other with the greatest of ease, as if the feelings were interchangeable...? This theory (that love gives way to hate and vice-versa) is explored in full throttle in the short film commissioned by A.B. and it eludes the previous type of controversy by avoiding to use any world leaders or religious patriarchs against their will - rather, it features a selected cast of unknowns doing what comes naturally to some of their types of human nature. The new controversy it might generate will be of an entire other order: for, if the pulsion to love is truly intertwined with that to hate, humankind will assuredly self-destruct (since, on top of all that, many of the instances of spontaneous love lead nowhere fast...!) Now that is far more disturbing than any pics of annoying old goats puckering up after years of threatening the lives, welfare and all-around peace of mind of millions upon millions around the world! Wouldn't you agree?
Watch that short film now, why don't you:
On 16th November 2011, in Paris, Alessandro Benetton launched and presented to the press Unhate, the worldwide communication campaign.
The film Unhate tells of the precarious balance and complex interweaving between the drive to hate and the reasons to love.

And All The Other Michelles!
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
André Mathieu
A gifted boy child who was hampered in his progress; an angelic face that was, most likely, the target of jealousy from many other parties that he encountered through his formative period and onwards... A tragic case of unfulfilled potential - or, at least, untapped to its fullest. This is what André Mathieu has been described as - and most of it is undeniably true. Most of it hits a personal chord with so many of us, too...
While it is true that his works remain, and that his genius is recognized enough, now, so that his name is renowned and better known presently than it was when he was an adult composer struggling to shed his image of "one-time child genius" which equated, basically, to being described as a lucky brat that never really paid his dues... Even if it is true that a famed-enough concert hall bears his name (in my old hometown of Laval) and that everyone has, therefore, heard his name at one time or another - nothing can erase the fact that when he needed it the most, be it fame, recognition or quite simply a helping hand, he did not get it. And for that the entire artistic community in his old stomping grounds can be forever bitterly ashamed as they are totally responsible.
Some, like that illustrious radio-host with the remarkable laughter and recognizable white beard (or vice-versa) or past loves, who knew him and therefore know all the facts, have said that André Mathieu became such a tragic story due to his own "inhibition of action" - that he tried, but could not make a truly progressive move towards full realization of his tremendous potential. Others, more idealistic or simply fatalistic, see in all this just a sign that, ultimately, IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE... André was not, after all, Amadeus - at best, other composers have said, he was their Gershwin. Which is already a lot and should have been recognized much sooner than that - while André Mathieu still lived.
Ultimately, perhaps one could see here confirmation of my own theory - my theory of names. Everyone named alike shares a similar fate, is either equally miserable or equally fortunate in life. Just in that grimy town of Montreal alone, where Andrés abound, we can see a pattern developing with the tragic stories of several rebel hearts such as André "Dédé" Fortin of Les Colocs fame (a totally different kind of musician) as well as the iconic Frère André and frequent visitor André The Giant (although, to be fair and honest, both were originally named differently - to their own detriment, they adopted the name André for two completely different reasons as well - and along with that came the heartache associated with it. But those are other stories, for other blogs... Mathieu shall suffice for the tragic quota this time out - agreed?)
André Mathieu is now hailed as the Child Prodigy of Québec - as the movie based upon his life story is entitled "L'Enfant Prodige" indeed.
Truth is, his detractors, whether they are around to say it or not, would still dub it the "Privileged Child" - as in the child that was born to a composer who molded him in his image very early on, surrounded him with the appropriate toys for the objective that was set (a piano and musical sheets instead of Tonka trucks and action figures) and proceeded, with draconian discipline, to make the boy's life a living hell from the tender age of five years-old...
Despite all that, he grew up to become a rather brutal, rough-around-the-edges, anything-but-mild-mannered misfit of a musician; truly paradoxically. He was prone to drink too much and womanize - not at all what he needed to be in order to be acclaimed and proclaimed as the genius composer that he was supposed to be.
Me, I see a lot of Tchaikovsky in him too; thankfully without certain particular traits... Rebellious, rampageous and even obnoxious at times, the boisterous André was doomed to be ostracized from the very get-go...
And he didn't even have to lose his boyhood looks in order to be set on that devastating path either...
Rest in Peace, André Mathieu
May you play your melancholic music in a place of Light, not of darkness...
Until the Day of Reckoning

Arianna!
What's wrong with this picture?
Nothing at all - that's what's wrong with it!
(By the way - Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images are to be credited here - so, don't sue me, in the name of the Freedom of the Press, eh?)
HOWEVER, even if absolutely nothing is wrong there, this lady merely being among the purported to be TEN MOST GOOGLED PEEPS OF 2008 is a triumph that boggles the mind.
Arianna, an esteemed mature lady, is found to be among the likes of Angelina, Lindsay, Megan Fox and *cough* *choke* Hannah Montana herself, that Cyrus chick...!
AMAZING FEAT, truly, in this day and age!
Not since the allure of Diane Sawyer, Katie Couric and Barabara Wawa... Baba Waawaraa... er... Barbara Walters, yeah... have we seen so much attention drawn towards the brainy broads, methinks...!
Brainy and gutsy - that is! Which is unruly in male-dominated newsworld - indubitably!
What's next, I wonder... A classic actress, classy beauty of yesteryear such as Jackie Bisset, Bo Derek or Helen Mirren making an incredible comeback and beating out Jolie, Lohan and Fox for the coveted title of sexiest woman alive, or something...?!?
Could happen, folks!
