When we last left our hero, the glassy-eyed Franz Joseph II, he was touting a neo-imperialist zoo world regime in a facebook ad.
Intrepid journalist Hank Talbot continues his exposé of the disturbing political agenda behind the zoo world facebook propaganda blitz.
I will be the first to recognise the irony (nay! the naïveté) in the title of my first zoo world post, “good riddance.” It would be good, indeed, to bid this brightly-coloured propaganda mill “adieu” and return to commentary on the latest pulchritudinous pics targeting me, a 27 year old male, on facebook. Alas, the buxom beauties must wait for another day, for I would be remiss to ignore my journalistic duty. As they teach us in J-school: duty before booty.
“Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road . . .”
Thus beginneth “Good Riddance,” perhaps the most poignant poetry penned by the great Billie Joe Armstrong in the early post-Dookie period. Official statistics are difficult to come by, but it is estimated that if you graduated from high school between 1998 and 2001, there is a 73.67% chance that THIS was your class song. If you throw out the 1999 grads (who seemed rather fond of Prince’s “1999”), that number swells to 98.97%. A recent study found that GED candidates from the same time period were similarly partial to the tune: nearly 80% would have chosen the song (or its equivalent) as their class song if they had been allowed a class song. It was even determined that a majority of students who dropped out of high school between 1998 and 2001 can sing along with the chorus if you get them started . . .
“It’s something unpredictable, but in the end it’s right. I hope you had the time of your life.”
