The Crimes of Josef FritzlWhat Is The Point Of…?
Oh yes. It’s definitely the most exclusive and elite group in the history of the world. Our ‘What Is The Point Of…?’ Club brings together the most pointless group of things - be it humans or otherwise - you could ever imagine.
But, not just anyone or anything is allowed in. Oh no. In fact, only a couple have made it so far, and that’s because they really are pointless. You have to keep in mind, the idea isn’t to nominate people or things you DISLIKE into the club, as the fact that you dislike them alone gives them a point to exist. Though with that said, I have been known to break this rule in a ‘it’s my website and I’ll break the rule about not being able to dislike members you induct into the What is the Point of..?’ Club’ kind of way. You know the way.
So, if you can keep that in mind and still have someone or something really good to suggest to us, send us an e-mail to matt@myperspectiva.com and tell us who you’re nominating and why they’re so pointless.
FIRST INDUCTEE
DAVID PLEATBlog Posts on David Pleat: [1] [2]
We really don’t understand the point of David Pleat. I mean, sure, I bet he’s a nice enough guy when he stops moaning, but has anyone really managed to get that far? No, he’s definitely in. His ITV commentaries are random if not ridiculous and we just don’t understand how he has a job in media. I may have, at times, broken the golden role in not liking David, and saying so in a few posts, but I think he’s worth waving the rule for, don’t you?
SECOND INDUCTEE
FARIA ALAM
Oh yes, here we are. Faria Alam - the woman whose only claim to fame was pumping Sven. Much like the Swede, she see seems to have this uncanny ability to attract members of the opposite sex without seemingly having a shred of personality or “looks” to cling to. All very bizarre; she brought the FA to its knees (quite literally no doubt) and rather famously once said: “The whole world thinks I’m a slut and a whore. I thought about telling my side of the story - It made things worse.” You’re in, Faria!
THIRD INDUCTEE
THE CARTOON NETWORKTo be fair, I’m not sure why anyone bothers with the Cartoon Network anymore. We’re talking about a Channel that’s famous for producing things like The Powerpuff Girls, the voices in which should really have just stuck to Rugrats. Apart from Dexter’s Lab - another Rugrats reference there! - There’s really very little need for it, the fact that it’s owned by AOL/Time Warner really says it all!
FOURTH INDUCTEE
KEVIN BLOODY WILSONThe fact that I’m not even joking when I say that ‘Kevin Bloody Wilson’ is this mans real name probably tells you as much as you need to know about him. Now, I’m a warm-blooded male idiot who occasionally dabbles in a bit of a swear when the situation permits, but this guy takes it a little too far. He’s a musical ‘comedian’ (that sense is as loose as some of the Kidderminster locals) from Australia, whose top songs go by the names of ‘Absolute Cunt of a Day’, ‘My Dick is on the Dole’ and ‘You Can’t Say Cunt in Canada.’ I say again, he’s Australian. Case closed. What is the point of you, Kevin Bloody Wilson?
FIFTH INDUCTEE
DROITWICH SPAOh yes. The picturesque town of Droitwich Spa is situated on massive deposits of salt, don’t you know? How fantastic! My god, how the population of 25,000 can get through a day with all the countless earth-shattering phenomena of excitement they must run into a mystery. Technically spent a combined five minutes there recently and saw no reason why it shouldn’t be demolished immediately. Unless you’re a regular visitor and you live there, in which case, ignore me, you’re town is amazing.
The online encyclopedia lists its industry and commerce achievements as a Waitrose, a Morrisons and a Boots. Superb. Famous exports include Rik Mayall, Ashley Giles and the Driotwich Spa Photographic Society. What is the point?
