Charlie Chaplin

Dumdum McCarthy

What do ye think of Charlie Chaplin,he seems to have his own spot outside Roches stores(debenhams) for a long time now.I was at the traffic lights yesterday and i watched him for a while, i personally dont like his act. I think he's a really bad fake.He has this big smile and wave for children,when there gone he facial expression seems to be... well pissed off in what he is doing. He give's me the creeps. HE doesnt add anyting to the city centre. Just my opinion.

He kinda creeps me out, I'm not sure why though.

Ah I don't dispute that, upon reflection I think it's mime artists in general that bother me

That's a bit harsh, all poor Willie is doing is getting a bit of pre election campaigning in.

Recession.

He had to sell himself to one of those cash for gold places.

I think there's definitely something creepy about him.

He is the type of guy where you found out years later that he did something horribly nasty. Journalists will interview limerick boardsie's, who will say they had no idea, he seemed like such a nice man.

Or perhaps he puts on the white facepaint to signify his purity of his actions, melding this with the duality of him wearing black as a reminder of the darkness of the world...




Well either that or I think mimes are just stupid.
