Alright? A Very Sarcastic Person here. So I suppose you’re expecting me to pour cold water over this year’s Mercury nominees, aren’t you? Because that’s what you’d expect of someone totally sarcastic, wouldn’t you just? In fact, that’s what you’d expect from Vice isn’t it? Something disparaging about how the Mercury prize is as edgy and relevant as a grandmother made of cotton wool. And you’d sit back and feel oh so bloody superior in your shitty office job knowing that someone had conformed entirely to your narrow weave of prejudice. Then you’d lean over to your dumb-as-muck colleague and relate this, and the two of you would chortle heartily about how bloody good you are at reading between media lines, ha ha ha. Then you’d go back to fiddling with Microsoft Excel and wishing you were dead. Well screw you, I’m doing it anyway.
Sincerely,
A Very Sarcastic Person
