WHEN YOU ARE A PATHETIC FAILURE AND LOSER BUT CRAVE ATTENTION – do it the Mario Vella way!
There was a time when Malta and Gozo generally remained shrouded in the dinosaur era, mostly under Church dictatorship and lazy and indifferent PN administration.
In those dark days it was commonly said the only way to gain attention was to make a scene. For example, if one went into a Government Department and used discretion and politeness you would be ignored and end up at the back of a long queue. HOWEVER, if you went in swearing and blaspheming you would be propelled to the front of the queue and immediately be given due attention.
Now, let us take a nonentity named Mario Vella who runs or is involved in some kind of musical group called “Brikkuni”, a group I have never heard because I do not care to listen to any old rubbish and will certainly never lower myself to listen and do so.
It used to be said that some mentally disturbed persons used to be further affected by the appearance of a new moon. It seems that this Mario Vella is affected by the month of June.
Two years ago in June 2016, when the Prime Minister’s wife undertook her charity swim, Vella wrote and augured that jelly fish would attach to her private parts while she swam. This outstanding piece of obscenity was generally viewed with utter disgust but naturally delighted a limited number of freaks.
One of these was PN candidate Salvu “il-Gidra” Mallia, a pronounced and confirmed idiot and nincompoop who delighted in the comment and followed it up with more obscenity. It stands to reason that idiots of a feather flock together.
Now it’s June 2018 and this Mario Vella has once more burst out in obscenity, his target this time being Jason Micallef, the outstandingly capable Chairman of V18. Let me just outline the scene.
This is an era when any idiot who is capable of strumming a guitar, is capable of switching on a microphone and holding it and then start bawling into it becomes regarded as being “a musician” or “a singer” and then further embellished by being called “an artist”.
This wannabee Vella seems to regard himself as some kind of Bob Dylan, or maybe a John Lennon, or at a wider stretch, Mick Jagger. Anyway, he is what nowadays is regarded as being “an artist”. Now, a group of 100 or so such “artists” called for Micallef’s resignation as V18 Chairman on the grounds he rightly criticised all the rubbish that has recently been cluttering up The Great Siege Monument in Valletta as some kind of insane tribute to the late Daphne Caruana Galizia.
A couple of days back, a musical event called ‘Earth Garden’ was staged, sponsored by V18 and in a flurry of total hypocrisy, this Mario Vella and his group “Brikkuni” – after criticising V18 – actually participated in it!
Naturally enough, Jason Micallef could not hold back from remarking on this – in most polite terms by commenting: “I enjoy seeing those who mock V18 forget their frivolity and their ‘wannabee’ statuses so that they participate in festivals like Earth Garden which are financially supported by V18. Good on you Mario for telling your fans what you like when it suits you.”
Fair enough.
The response by Mario Vella was a spate of obscenities whereby he called Micallef an “idiot”, “rubbish” and “a freak of nature”, among a spate of other highly disparaging and spiteful remarks, going on to write: ‘You’re f**king with somebody else’s cock. Earth Garden doesn’t need you’
Well, well – that may impress some people like Salvu il-Gidra and cause a few girls to scream in excitement and wet their knickers and panties for is-Sur Vella and his group. It does not impress people like me.
You see Sur Vella, I come from the school of hard knocks. I was brought up in Brixton, London and went to school in Brixton, London ... on Brixton Hill, opposite Brixton Prison. As with other schools in the area, you learn to give as you get – otherwise you get your head kicked in every five minutes.
Although I am originally from Sliema, unlike some other genteel people from Sliema like the late DCG who had the refinement and privilege of attending genteel private schools like St Joseph’s or Dorothea, I went to a school where you kicked or got kicked.
Maybe that was why she “democratically” infinitely blocked me from commenting on her Blog. Our worlds were very far apart.
So Mr Mario Vella, you don’t impress me for a single moment with your outbursts of vile obscenity because for me they are merely par for the course. As a general loser and all-round nonentity, you are merely trying to draw attention to yourself because you crave it.
At my Brixton school we had a very accurate description for a person like you – A TOTAL ARSEHOLE.
