Bitter Disappointment
Saturday, June 09, 2007
After being called a few very nasty names this week, by a art student no less, for a minor crime (mea maxima culpa) involving a paper flag and a lighter, I thought I'd post this which I found in the comment section:
Hi I am a UCT psychology student and we are doing some research on the damaging effects of Michaelis Art School on the psyche of students, would you mind posting some responses to the following questions? Obviously its all anonymous. Thanks!
1. Did you have friends at school?
2. If not, why not?
3. Do you think your bitterness stems from previous social isolation?
4. Or have you always been a cunt?
5. What informs your conviction that you are interesting?
6. How do you justify making zero contribution to the society in which you live?
7. Can you name five African countries?
8. Where do you see yourselves in five years time? (Cry if you want to, its ok)
9. Before attending Michaelis did you ever read the newspaper (not the arts paragraphs)?
10. How many inapropriately intimate relationships did you have with your lecturers/tutors at art school?
11. Have you ever gone for group STD testing with your classmates?
12. How much money would it take to persuade you to emigrate permanently?

I think Michaelis students are basically nice, but they are rendered less so by the emotional retardation of Malcolm Payne, and convinced that being a nasty tit is cool. Also, there's nothing so bad a little knowledge, and seeing as Michaelis students are half-educated, they tend to get blown away by their own minor reserves of knowledge. This is a neccessary strategy in helping them to believe that their art is powerful and shocking.
oh what a dreadful scourge michaels arse hath unleashed upon us! vicious nasty little brutes...who needs paris hilton when a whole class of these self-important vacuous little shits "graduates" each year?
Hi I am a MIchaelis student and we are doing some research on the damaging effects of psychlogy education on the ego psychology students, would you mind posting some responses to the following questions? Obviously its all anonymous. Thanks!
1. Did you have friends at school?
2. If so, would it be fair to say that it was because you were a sycophant?
3. Do you think your bitterness stems from previous maternal interaction (or lack thereof)?
4. Or have you just always been an ignorant, duplicitous, judgemental cunt?
5. What informs your conviction that you are useful?
6. How do you justify making zero real contribution to the society in which you live, whilst training to make a lot of money out of other people's misery?
7. Can you name four African countries?
8. Where do you see yourselves in five years time? (and we know you will have an answer because you can usually only see yourself...in everything)
9. Before attending UCT did you ever live amongst people in/experience a real society with real problems (not the over inflated domestic issues of white suburbia )?
10. How many inapropriately intimate relationships do you secretly hope to have with your potential clients?
11. Have you ever gone for STD testing, or do you feel that you are exempt because you are such a "nice" person?
12. How much money would it take to persuade you to promise never to attempt a career in psychology?
Leaves one to wonder whether it was the accusation of you being insecure or of you looking pathetic that qualifies as those "very nasty names" you speak about.
I think your need to 'respond' to me (with veiled insults) on a website - via your alias - instead of with a simple reply to my mail says it all.

Yes the flag was just for fun, made specifically from scruffy looking lined paper and leftover wood. It was a 'joke' from my side to have made a flag and bring it to the bar in the first place, and it wasn't a very artistically created object.
Nevertheless I did go through the effort of making it - one doesn't just destroy someone elses stuff!
It wouldn't be a big deal if it wasn't for your consistent bad attitude and the arrogance you show towards others. It's quite sad the way you try to cover up your insecurities by treating others like shit when it suits you.
It's making you look fucking pathetic.
Moa

I'd imagine having your flag burnt would be one of the more fun outcomes of bringing into into a bar in the first place. I don't know the context cos I wasn't there, but shouldn't one let go of stuff, especially if you've chosen to place it in an unpredictable situation? (to be precise: drunk people)
The thing here (and I hate that I should have to justify myself at all – an inverted burden of proof) is that the table standing flag had an additional role to play as I’d posted a note online inviting unknown Swedes and their friends to join in for drinks that night. That potential for them to ever find us via the flag was cut short when I came back from getting a beer from the bar seeing the “fun” in full action…
It doesn’t matter what object was brought where - the attempt to focus on that is poor defence from people who (probably) know what they did wasn’t cool.
A simple apology would have been more dignifying.
