Despised

Archive for October, 2007

.. well before we spill the beans, a little background is in order.

A ‘report’ (more on this later) way back in 2004 listed the following as the most despised professions:

1. Traffic wardens
2. Bouncers
3. Estate agents
4. Motorcycle couriers
5. Bus drivers
6. Footballers
7. Tele-sales reps
8. PR people
9. Politicians
10. Reality TV show contestants

Now some of these appear to make sense, right – estate agents, traffic wardens, tele-sales and politicians would all be on my personal ‘despised’ list, but some are somewhat odd.

Footballers? Bus Drivers? Where the bloody hell do they come from?

More worryingly, the ‘most respected’ list included ‘Rugby Players’ and members of the Armed Forces – what the fuck is that about? Perhaps they are confusing ‘respect’ with ‘fear’ – beats me.

… but there, ladies and gentlemen, is the answer.

This report was compiled as a ‘fake’ news story by the advertising agency behind Horlicks, yep, the drink that makes you relaxed enough to fall asleep easily.

This also provides us with the most despised profession in MY world.

 

The most despised profession in my world is:


Coming at No.8 on the list from Horlicks, but No.1 on the Despised list of despised professions is … PR People – the panty-waisted airhead ‘creative’ marketing guys who think up these ‘fake surveys’ in order to get some airtime for their clients. I hope they all drown in a cesspool of their own making.
If the world of PR can be compared to an unclean uncirumcised penis (and I think it can), these guys are the smeggy cheese under the foreskin.

This particular survey has zero scientific value as the demographics and size of the survey group are not stated, but it got into the papers so now it will be quoted at me as a ‘fact’ by some other ’shit for brains’ gullible  nob end, (and on the subject of gullibility, I am appalled to discover that the word ‘gullible’ has been removed from the latest Oxford English Dictionary – details here)
