Zapetero's family

9/29/2009 11:39:00 pm / The truth was spoken by Rich /

This is the Spanish Prime Minister and his two daughters. Updated to the US state department's flickr page, but then hastily removed because the daughters have never been photographed before due to a Spanish law protecting their "privacy" - which we can only assume really exists because of his embarrassment at the state of his daughters.

This is weird on so many levels. Why have them in the picture in the first place? And seriously, look at the state of those girls. I know teenagers have their own ideas about fashion and all, crazy kids, but for fucks sake, you're representing Spain here and by refusing to dress more appropriately you're embarrassing the whole nation. Can you not put a nice frock on just this once? And their posture too. All slumped forward and what not, is that all part of the goth image?

Bloody liberals. This sort of thing really winds me up. Prime Minister Jose obviously does not wear the pantalones in his family. How can he therefore be trusted to run his country? General Franco would have slit his only daughters' throat before he let her dress like that anywhere let alone when posing for a photograph with the most powerful man on the planet.

Is it just me? Am I just an old bastard now? Most of the controversy over this picture is centred around whether their privacy was invaded, not the fact that they're dressed so ridiculously in a photograph with the President of the United States. Is it possible I'm being too judgmental?

I've never understood the whole goth thing anyway. It must be such hard work because you have to dress that way all of the time. Punks too. Even when you just need to go to the Spar for a pink of milk you have to put on all the make-up and the various layers of black clothing and maybe a cloak too if it's cold and the boots and the jewellery - just to get milk. Urgghh. Too much. What do these people wear in bed? Do they have goth pajamas? I find this very depressing.

I give up on the world. When I move house I'm not taking my TV with me and I'm only looking at porn on the internet. Elsewise for entertainment it's books and radio 4 for me from now on.
