Since a new fish restaurant opened up around the corner, me and the wife have gone there every Tuesday for fried catfish with a side order of either seasonal vegetables or chips (I go for the chips meself ) and lovely it is too. So imagine me joy when I saw MTV was showing , what seemed like, endless shows on that most delicious of foods, the catfish.
But boy was I disappointed, Catfish the TV Show turned out to be a mixture of insane delusion and psychosis in equal measures. What happens is, someone puts a picture of the young Marlon Brando, or Katy Perry, on Facebook then says they are a brain surgeon and some poor gullible idiot, not only believes them, but comes to see them as their soul mate. Enter our touchy feely co hosts who drive the delusional idiot to meet the on line love of their life. But first they do some digging into the story and you really don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to crack the lies. But when our touchy feely co hosts tell the delusional idiot all may not be what it seems the delusional idiot just look at them like they are the delusional idiots. So when faced with the love of their lives and the young Marlon Brando turns out to be someone who lives under the kitchen sink with his pet rats or the Katy Perry is three hundred pounds and has to be fork lifted to the toilet the conversation usually goes like this:
"Aw man, so like you're not a brain surgeon either, like that was a lie too."
"Like yeah."
"Aw man."
Our touchy feely co hosts try and turn this story of needy mental illness, on both sides, into something positive, but you just know it's going to be business as usual for all concerned. It will probably take at least twenty years for all the rampant gullibility to be eradicated from the Internet. Mean while I'll leave the delusional idiots to it, me and the wife are off for our real catfish.
Ranting Ronnie.
