All Sweetness And Light
There is a massive reality show potential here for anyone with the foresight to come up with it. If only I had some connection to the reality TV show business. The title of this new show will be coined, “The Special One”. The premise of this show will be the search for that one individual who has lived life since birth without ever having had slights of any kind hurled against him. No fatso, stinky, goofball, slowpoke, or dummy insults. No slurs on his race, his sex, his sexual orientation, his physical deformity, his gap toothed grin, his slowness of wit, his lack of physical co-ordination or his Monty Python silly walk. No one has ever commented on his height, or lack of height, his hair, or lack thereof. He has never been the subject of ridicule for his lisp, his regional drawl, his double jointed thumbs, his unibrow or his lack of taste in clothing.
This person will have lived under the most benign of conditions having nothing but effusive praise and syrupy accolades heaped upon him his entire life. Of course, this person will have achieved unbridled success in every thing he has touched, have self esteem like Muhammad Ali at a pre fight weigh in, is a friend to thousands and admired by all. This person has never felt the sting of rejection, never been the subject of ostracism or profiling. This person will have never shed a tear because someone didn’t valentine him when he was 6 or because he was picked last for a game of scrub. This person has only known rainbows and moonbeams and hears flutes and violins upon entering a room.
Can’t wait to see who the winner is.
