Why I Want to Fuck Arnold Schwarzenegger
Author: Johnny Strike • Sep 28th, 2005 •Category: Ballardosphere, advertising, celebrity culture, politics
In the ongoing battle between the two movie stars: Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Warren Beatty, there has already been a number of Ballardian moments. If Beatty actually throws his hat into the ring for the governors race, we’ll surely be witnessing something that will appear to be more fictional than set in reality. Here’s the last paragraph from an article where Beatty has given a talk to a nurses organization, and had shot back some retorts to the governor’s latest disparaging comments about him. This closing paragraph has a certain Ballardian flavor.
Then Beatty got serious and ripped the governor, who once had a road crew create a huge pothole so he could be photographed filling it with a shovel of tar.
“Governing by show, by stunts, by cosmetics, by photo ops and fake events and fake issues and fake crowds and backdrops – that’s a mistake. … That concept of reality should be saved for action movies and show business.”
