Off recently I had been rather enraged and
agitated by the way media had been using
it's right to express, to information by potrayl
of certain issues but I choose to refrained
from actin on it, somthing which I regret now.
So here, I am using this cyberspace that I have to
address a issue which is blood boiling to say da least . I’m
not writing this to enforce my thinking on some1
but just for the youth to realize what kinda shit is
bein thrown @ their face in name of creativity...
Also this is a piece of my idea nd i wld appreciate if
people don't juss rip it frm here nd put it up sme othr
blog giving the credit 2 urself......
THE MTV YOUTH ICON !
Before I go ahead and rip the whole concept by
this so called music channel. Let me first define
what an ICON actually means (I know we are all
so aware of it already but the creative headz @
the channel need sme kinda awakening)
An icon as defined in most of the dictionarys I
have come across can be explained as something
that is an important and a enduring symbol plainly
a thing or a person who you are devoted to.
However, all this is about to change cause
according to MTV /// YOU r your icon. u are your
mistakes and you urself are the one who is
responsible for getting inspired I mean tell me if
'm missing something here but does that mean that
whatever I do is worth idolizing and should
become a cult following, I don't think what
majority of the youth in India are doing
today is worth getting inspired from and the
idolizing part. DreaM on!
This idiocracy doesn't stop here ... it goes on to
say that the youths world does not consist of
those who inspires them but it's about what (in
their words) 'Suits your fancy that day!'
Gmme a fckn break .. R u tellin me that my icons,
my inspirations in life are just time bound and are
so weak that they are bound to change depending
on my mood. dunno if I live under a stone or is it
just that i've a brain but i'm definitely not a part of
this certain class of people termed as 'Youth' by
mtv!
But all this is not what made me come out of this
exile and put effort on this wasted, no good
campaign of a sold out corporate circus,da reason is.....
Ernesto Guevara de la Serna
The commercial shows a fckn wannab burnin a
Che poster. A person who is an icon for all age
groups of people around the globe. He is one guy
who stood up against the tyrants. Created his
own destiny and fought for it and in that way
bought a change in lives of millions of people
across the world. CHE is one man who is solely
responsible for the way Cuban history has
shaped. A medical professional, he went all out to
support masses in misery and helps create a free
environment for them to flourish.So wht do u do
wth a persn wth sch high influential personality...
u burn such a divine persons image down and
further show a poser wearing a t-shirt with a
print of abhishek on it.
NEWSFLASH! All across the world b it hip hop
moguls to college goin nerds from people of multi
ethnic cultures to football stadiums across
south America .. u can find em all wearn t-shirts with che on
it.Hez a part of the graffiti,banners,or any piece of art everythng
whch people do to express themselves...obviously
he is a vital inspiration to many across the world//
To an extend is this mans power
that his picture has been called upon as one of the most
influential picture of the century by many universities and
art houses.
But only in this fairy land of mtv do people wear
t-shirts of bollywood stars who r not even actors
in literal senses... I dunno if 'm hyper reactn but
da idea of voting a person who acts, who is a
plain gimmick, who is just portraying something
and is not even remotely close to it in reality is
hard to digest and believe.
So da point 2 wonder here is y did dey burn che's pic ... dey played it safe ...
dey could not have possibly did that wth some person who is a part of our history.
in case for me the closest person who can come close in resemblnce
with che in case of influence , courage and strength
in our history would be Bhagat Singh, the true son of India!
Could dey even dare to burn his image.
Dey do tht and the next thing dey know a certain political
party wld burn down their offices across country.
So burn Ernesto. Who cares...I'll tell u // who fckn cares ...
I DO! and for that matter hundreds n thousands n millions of people across
the globe do.. CHE's commrades caRE!
So now that MTV has ruled out the majestic CHE out of the ppl who qualify to be icons..
Lets c what options hve we got ...
1. Abhishek bachchan ..
a actor by profession this guy was a major
flop at start of his career but after a few movies
which featured someone who is a legend in the
film industry for years and is incidentally his dad
he had a few hits @ the box office. was recently
in the news for making a fool outta the already
retard government by calln himself as a farmer
and buyn out lands meant for farmers losing their
land in natural calamities ofc da charges were
never proved or was it just that media lost track on
the courtroom proceedingz nly to find out wht labels were da couple
wearn @ sme flashy film festival .... Married to some ms.wrld pageant
winner who cld give plastic a shame ... this is one persn who
u shld idolize and try 2 b like.. Also a incident that myte intreset u ...
this guy wore a t-shirt with a che print on it in one of his recent movies..
Its a other thing he thght it was a designer label or smthn but ya
talk bout coincidences!
2. RANG de Basanti
A movie which potryd some overgrown
college students who get drunk all day long .. nd
nites too for tht matter ... lose a frnd serving the
national defense services due to certain low
standard machinery used by government
authorities and end up putting a bullet in head of
a minister.
Is this an inspiration ... a act of 3 hours of pure
fiction...Is it worth idolizing..?!
3. ORKUT
In the words that explains it on orkut.com ...
ORKUT is an online community that connects
people through a network of trusted friends.
We are committed to providing an online meeting
place for people to socialize, make new
acquaintances and find others who share their
interests.
Don’t know bout u ... 'm inspired enough for da day!
4 . MULTIMEDIA CELL PHONES
Hw da fck do I explain this option.. For that
matter hw can ny1 explain its place here ...
All I can say its just a luxury item and 'm so not
getting inspired by it..
For that matter 2mmrw u wld come n say 'check
out ma 42inch plasma ... inspireD!' NT REALLY!
5. YOU
So do u idolize urself.. R u da 1 who inspires
himself and think u r completely worth being
followed..
If ur.. U need 2 wake up ... open ur eyes .. walk out
of that room and realize a lil thing called ...REALITY ///
even if ur smthn whch can be supreme (whch u so totally are not) ... dere is moDEsty!
I would REST MY ARGUMENT by writing down a quote of a person who is ma idol .. ma god ... ma sheer influence irrespective of hw old i'm or hw mny years hve passed since he died .. err .. i would b politically correct here .... assasinat'd /// ERneSto chE !
SHOOT U COWARD >> >> >> U WOULD ONLY KILL A MAN!

neway
good job writin it man
i never thot dat da ad cud hurt nebodys sentiments.....but yea.. da burnin of che's poster was bad!!!
i never thot id say dis.....but.... IM PROUD OF U!!!!
impressive.. very impressive.
Well said dude..the new age branding has become dollops of shitpile..they catch on flashy things like individuality, their strange notion of freedom..actually u knw wat..do u kno who is the icon of these new age self-declared flag-bearers of modern India's tryst with its well publicised pathway to self confidence..it is the people u see dancing mindlessly after few tequila shots in the disco theques of Mumbai, who gives a hoot to wats happenin arnd as long as he is what he is - "i am what i am"- as a tagline of a popular brand goes. and this is just another instance of it..and it's great that you have brought it out..well done.congrats.
dude!!de blog simply fckin rockz yaa!!..holla!!!!! itzz damn impressive....chEerZ Ta YaH!!
Hey ,,,
fantastic blog....dude really feel like a castrated diplomatic capitalist worm cuz wok neav gamme time to write....
appriciated...
saw sometin i wanted to write about put up here ...
adios
Good job I understand what you feel i mean this Mtv is shit man it should be banned and Hey the article can be a lil more impressive if you use proper language i mean complete words dont use things like da and all because it gets annoying anyways that doesnt make what u said even a bit less effective at least someone here speaks their mind
By far the best piece of blog i have read on a very hard hittin issue. I think we need to realise one thing that Icons come and go, but we need to stick with the real heros of life a k a "CHE". ThUmBs Up tO My BrOtHeR.
Firstly let me tell U that I am an absolute pro-capitalist and nothing is gonna change that. I feel so because capitalism is the best political system in the world !!
But that is immaterial to wat I wanna say. I am currently reading Che's biography and let me say that I REALLY REALLY admire him !!
Only a guy who is soooo thoroughly convinced and committed to his ideologies is suitable of being a youth icon !!!
Wat was the need for Che to give up his comfy post in the Cuban govt and go to the Bolivian jungles to fight again ?? To get a hallowed place in the history books ?? Nooooooooo !!
This was a guy who was completely committed to his cause that he is ready to sacrifice everything he has...his govt post, his job, his family just for the sake of revolution !!
Now this is wat I call guts !!!
Who in the right mind wud do that ? No-one !!
But Che did !!!
Tell ur fucking Abhishek Bachchan to go fight for the poor and downtrodden people in the world and become a guerrilla ???? U think he is upto it ??
No wayz !!
But Che was !!!
Now that is the kind of person who shud be called an ICON !!
Thanks for writing this superb blog !! It really opened my eyes to the reality of this world !!
Cheers !!
awesome one.!! thou i didnt see tat mtv thing( burning tat poster).. i know this tv channels r shit.. da nominees for youth icon were bull crap.. im glad ppl like me still exist!
luved it absoultely!!
