I tripped over a curb the other day and fell on my arse. An ambulance came. “You’ve fractured your pelvis,” said the emergency room doc. “Stay off your feet. Here’s a walker.” Crap.
After having successfully avoided the Great American Trump-Biden-Fauci Lock-Down Fiasco for the past 785 days, I finally found my own self in total lock-down as well. What did most Americans do to avoid mind-numbing boredom during those past 785 days? “Netflix.” Oh. Sign me up.
And that’s the true story of how I discovered the wonderful Netflix comedy series, Derry Girls. Teenage girls in Northern Ireland, up to typical teenage-girl stuff — even in the midst of The Troubles. Londonderry. A war zone. Bloody Sunday. That horrible lock-down of colonial oppression. Sometimes only laughter can make a brutal situation (almost) bearable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ejga4kJUts
I’ve been to Derry myself. Nothing funny to laugh about there. Saw where the tanks and the helicopters and the guns had been. Heard the survivors’ stories. And yet Derry Girls made me laugh even louder because I knew what the girls were talking about.
Now if only Netflix could travel to Gaza and film a comedy series called Gaza Girls. I’d binge-watch that one too!
PS: Whether it’s the Derry Girls, the Gaza Girls or the Girls of Donbas who are being uppity, they’ve all managed to piss off those Evil Globalist Bastards bigtime. Demanding local sovereignty? Trying to get rid of corporate corruption? How dare they!
Will the World Economic Forum get pissed off at California Girls next? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcrbDYe4qL4
