Yes, a TV series has just ended with such a title, but I sense it
didn't go far enough. We are more than what our bodies become. We are
what our souls become. Consequently, we reap far more than harm for the
body in eating junk food; we destroy our soul and spirituality by,
indirectly, furthering as well as condoning intense animal cruelty.
Clarissa Dickson Wright would be more appropriately termed Clarissa
Dickson Wrong, for not only must eating beasts’ testicles as an assumed
delicacy create disease to the body; She is destroying her soul in the
process through desensitisation. I've no doubt, however, that the dear
lady is a product of her upbringing: just one pea out of a very common
pod called 'tally ho’! Nevertheless, her irresponsibility must be
obvious to all who respect their God given outer case: the body; as well
as the jewel within: one's immortal soul!
Once, having sampled the ‘kick. that can come through media
prominence’ it becomes far too easy to become a little more outlandish
each time in order to sample once more the thrill that prominence can
create. Film stars and aging actors often revert to all types of
gimmicks in order to try and recreate the thrills that past publicity
once made them. It is very easy - even in the animal activist movement -
to go a little bit more ‘over the top' to attract media publicity for
the Cause? Well, at least I hope so! Sometimes it may well be for the
buzz it gives us; for none of us is immune to what is commonly termed an
ego trip.
Therefore, I for one will not endeavour in any way to pull to bits or
endeavour to pass judgement, on the outlandish performances of Ms
Wright. As the good book says: ‘let those that are without sin cast the
first stone'! Nevertheless, deer's testicles, which I'm told - rightly
or wrongly - are given the culinary name in one of Ms Wright’s recipes
as Blair's Balls is far from appealing. In fact I find it as totally off
putting to myself as the unfortunate man himself!
