All I want is a Unicorn that can shit gold stars

written by Doublethink 4/5/08

Watching BB on Friday we were treated to trivial crapola so insignificant as to be totally mind numbing. The simplistic narrative revolved around one of life's certainties on Big Brother...the dumb blonde. This childish numbskull by the name of Brigitte needs her toy unicorn to be able to sleep. A bunch of water soaked dipshits conspire to steal the unicorn, thus hilarity should ensue?....or so believes the Channel 10 producer with a mind as sophisticated as a 12 year old at camp.

Channel 10 was misgiven that they could squeeze the unicorn story to get gold, instead of the shit that actually came out.

As this dull pantomine dragged it's feet my mind wandered off, as it does, thinking of unicorns...and ended up on Blade Runner, the movie based on Philip K Dick's book, "Do Androids dream of electric sheep?". A story of androids made more human than human, some of whom don't even know they are not real...implanted with false memories and even dreams.

Now getting back to Brigitte....is she real?, cause for the life of me, how could someone be that stupid and still be capable of drawing a breath? Even obvious reality perplexes her....her first lines in the BB house saw her questioning if the astroturf .... was it real grass? I'm convinced BB has a finally got a "world first"...in Brigitte as an android... a basic pleasure model as Pris was in Blade Runner. Brigitte is a fcukdoll to be used and discarded, as she isn't a real being.

The unicorn is the clue....you see in Blade Runner, the hero, Deckard ( Harrison Ford ) dreams of a Unicorn...only for his collegue to leave a small Unicorn for him to find....a way of saying to him, you are not a real person...your dreams were implanted into you. Likewise this android Brigitte is also bizarrely attached to a unicorn....a ficticious creature for a ficticious human.

The more closely I look at Android Brigitte, the more convinced I am she isn't real. Looking slightly more sophisticated that a blow up sex doll and just as articulate, Brigitte clutches onto her unicorn, her mundane dreams, her aspirations of becoming a human being, of having thoughts and even ideas.

Give Brigitte back her unicorn, let her sleep and allow her to dream of being real.

Meanwhile, congrats Big Brother...a world first... a lifelike android as a housemate!
