GoodbyeTV

Remember the days when stars were stars? They were Glamorous, Classy, they had Charisma and Charm they could Sing, Act,Dance – some could sing, dance, and act! Remember Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire?

Now we’re not saying that Goodbye is  only a fan of the Golden oldie films and their stars or even that we don’t have our fair share of real star talent today. Even Hugh Jackman sang, danced and presented at the Oscars and, while he may not be the best actor in the world, he can act. But what wasn’t around until recently was the shameless celebration of ‘total lack of talent’ tabloid-fillers and TV ‘dementors’ that plague our mags,  and suck the sense out of TV shows and broadsheets. The so called ‘IT’ girls whose only claim to fame is as celebutantes with rich mummies and daddies. Or rich mammaries and Papis!

Yes It girls used to at least be F-IT to be seen  girls like Ursula Andrews now they are just plain SHE-IT GIRLS or mindless T-IT GIRLS!

Why is it that Page 3 girls now appear on page 1, 2, 5 and 7 of national newspapers and even sneak their way into ‘serious editorials’.

We hope that YOU are here on GOODBYE FAME–because like any sane people  you just don’t get it. Why oh Why does Katie Price, HAVE a  multi-millionaire fortune to fight over? Who is it that buys Jade Goody’s perfume and Beckham’s briefs? How is it that the world has evolved into an ugly place where your talent and your bank balance  is only as good , or big, as your PR machine?

We are fed up with the dross, tired of being manipulated into hating or liking or even having to notice the existence of botox-swilling Z list celebrities or discuss pisspoor TV shows reflecting  the tawdry Unreality of their sorry lives.

We’re  even fed up that the world has become so insane that a site like ours needs to exist. Social toxins  like Hello Magazine need an antidote or the world ,as we used to know it dies.

BUT the sad truth is  that the very reason that these non-entities have more money and status and power than we have is that We – yes you and I – gave it to them!  The media started it, sure we can blame the pusher but we took the dope. We feed into the hype, the bullshit, the publicity propaganda and starved of really good drama we got sucked into the soap operatic tales of their seedy vacuous lifestyles. We are it’s lifeblood! We bought and read the papers online,  fanned them into existence and when the TV controllers caught us reading the papers they created freak shows starring these creatures now imprinted on the dark side of our memory  – and  horrified but mesmerised  we watched sickened but powerless to walk away from our armchairs. It was too late –  we were addicted. We had let ourselves be pushed into a diet of fast, fake and tasteless TV food  and, fattened up and filled with additives, we became too lazy to change things.

We created these Monsters and only we hold the silver bullet that will send them back to the high-rise hellhole they belong in. Now we the Video Vigilantes, TV Exterminators and Digital Deleters,  turn around and say Goodbye!

Here on Goodbye Fame  we ask you to rant, ridicule, laugh, to protest, petition, complain, to redress the balance, to seize back control and to push towards making Fame, once again, the kind of club with a strict door policy. One that sends D-Z listers back where they belong, “Back of the queue for you!” NOT on the guest list. “Sorry try your local pub!”

Goodbye wants to point out where we are being manipulated and more importantly, though we are all about satire,  we want to  promote REAL talent, and offer genuine alternatives and solutions.
