Who's this dead-eyed cunt anyway
Shot if some Labour minister, from the nose up looking like a dead-eyed cunt. He has receding hair a skin that looks like over stretched plastic. He's framed on a sky blue background with a picture of Elisabeth tower/Big Ben on the right, and (ironically) the words "Live, Westmnister" in the upper left hand corner. Ironic, because he looks like a dead-eyed cunt.

It still blows my mind that Kate Bush wrote a song about this... in 1989 !

Listen to it here:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVU6...
From the Wikipedia entry on "Deeper understanding": Background- Kate Bush explained that the song is about how people are replacing human relationships with technology: "This is about people... well, about the modern situation, where more and more people are having less contact with human beings. We spend all day with machines; all night with machines. You know, all day, you're on the phone, all night you're watching telly. Press a button, this happens. [...] And this is the idea of someone who spends all their time with their computer and, like a lot of people, they spend an obsessive amount of time with their computer. People really build up heavy relationships with their computers!"

An animated stick-figure cartoon character with an evil face is squashing cutouts of cartoon people into a house-shaped meat grinder. It has a funnel on the roof and an aperture of the side with threads of beige goo coming out.

Instead there's smatterings of in places she's not expecting. Toe curling
