| Media Misrepresentation by Jim Corr. The Media can be a dangerous thing. Like newspapers... you could get a paper cut off the edge of the page. Oooh... ouch. Nasty. What if a TV fell on you? You could be crushed to death! What if the internet... um... did something. To be honest, I don't know much about the internet. There are some pretty pictures on it. Being a celebrity, I live my life in the glare of the media. Everything I do is questioned, examined, analysed and... okay, well, it's not as analysed as much as what Andrea or Caroline or even Sharon do, but it's still analysed. I've had much trouble in the past. Some papers said that I only go out with skinny girls who look like my sisters, which is wrong. The media misrepresented me. And now I'm angry. Below I have prepared a little exercise. There are two pictures of me with two statements. Which one is the one that isn't true? |
| fig.1 |
| fig.2 |
| Could you guess? That's right... figure 2 is the one that's true. Look at me in figure 1! I've got a big fat face! That's not true... I keep a tight rein on my diet. Apart from cakes... they are my true weakness. Oh look! Another thing that's true in the second picture. It says I like eating cake. That's true. I don't smoke crack. That's dumb. Winners don't use drugs. I like the craic, though. That's an Irish phrase, y'know. Nothing to do with drugs. |
| I hope that, in my little look at media misrepresentation, you have discovered something that made you think twice about the life of a celebrity. It's not all parties, carousing and cakes. (There are some cakes.) No! It's a life of toil. Everything that we do is put under the microspcope of the press and it is bad. Pity us. We are celebrities and we have a hard life. Thankyou. |
