Oshparoy Orpheus

Philip Kirkorov

In the long -suffering latest history of the Russian, the work of the singer Philip Kirkorov is a noticeable, bright, mysterious event. It is not necessary to prove it unbearable brightness: from May, the singer’s discussion and journalist about the Romeks sprinkles menacingly in the heart of folk and excites public temperament. Millions of eyes were repeatedly looked at the television screens and on the Internet a twitching picture, in which an unkind but fluffy man bitterly thought aloud about boobs and a pink blouse of a lady standing in front of him. Dozens of linguists, publicists, lawyers, pop stars, and politicians made a contribution to the treasury of their native speech, discussing the rhyme by the word "star". In the minds of enthusiastic citizens, the Kirkorov case overshadowed the war in Chechnya, Russian-Georgian showdowns, and a bill on monetization of benefits. A more or less general sentence: Kirkorova is not enough to kill. At least plant.

The court, which has just completed in Rostov, did not agree with this almost popular will. Only a fine for insult - 60,000 rubles. In the income of the state. Why so? Why in a poor warring country there is no problem more important than to pieces the bad-haired Orpheus, who had gone around the journalist? Why such passions and such high intensity of civilian feelings?

Partly a solution to Kirkorov himself. He is exemplaryly mediocre, what to argue about rims there ... For such a low -like artist, he is too defiantly rich and completely devoid of taste: he crowned with Pugacheva in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Jerusalem, travels around a poor country on a foreign membership, gives the St. Petersburg Museum of Sex Mastery of Phyllos in the form of a phallus. In general, there was too much of this jumping under the "plywood" of the curly. However, before his acquaintance with journalist Irina Aroyan, most spectators of Kirkor, caused only deaf irritation; This feeling has been accumulating for years. And he spilled onto the head of the unfortunate showman, as soon as he stopped singing and jumping, speaking almost without an ensemble. However, the singer itself personified not only aggressive mediocrity in its purest form - otherwise the protest voting on the site Kirkorov.net would not be so unanimous. If at some press conference would have broken the dearest Petrosyan with his dearest half or brutal Nagiyev, the reaction would be similar. The fact is that the permanently dancing, goggling, swimming in shit and blood, our TV has already reached that measure of ugliness, behind which even the most non -inhabitant public begins to be perplexed. And the audience is more complicated by the ordinary hatred of the workers of the blue screen, where pop-up is furious from morning to evening and there is one endless talk show. This is the “permitted hatred” - not to those who cleaned the television to complete brilliance, but to Kirkorov, who does not work as president, does not go into the disputes of business entities and does not serve in the FSB. But he just sings himself, loves red women, knows the word "p ...." and "and shares this precious knowledge with compatriots, for which he suffers.

The court of first instance is completed. Life continues. And in it, heavy and gloomy, there is always a place for sublimation - the mental process, as the Dictionary says, switching a person’s energy "to the goals of social activity and cultural creativity." More precisely, for some reverse sublimation. The singer, who is tired of culture, is discharged on boobs and blouses. The people, tired of the monotony of television miracles, throw themselves at the singer. This is a form of social protest, an imitation of social life, which is now expressed in increasingly radical forms. Understanding them is more and more difficult, as are the reasons for the expression of social indignation.

Something is swirling in our people, boiling and foaming, and you will remove the lid-Kirkorov jumps out of the boiler, like an scalded one ... He also boils and swear, also dissatisfied with something, but what? Well, what kind of reason is the RIMAYKI? I would joke, otherwise - "over there" and other words. Nervous people, mysterious time, a starry life.
