Irfan Yusuf looks more Human to me right now than curebies.

This afternoon, I had the privilege of reading an article by one Irfan Yusuf (you can find it here) about the thuggery that marred Sydney’s central business district recently. I am not going to quote all of what he wrote here. If you have any interest at all in the complex reactions to incidents like the Sydney riot, then I ask you to read his article. However, there is an aspect of his article that I do want to comment about. It can best be summed up by the following quote (mistype preserved):

Much ado about nothing: Christopher Nolan’s Batman films…

I will come out and say this off the bat. I do not “get” the hero worship of the director named Christopher Nolan. No, wait, let me rephrase that. I get it just fine. It is just that once I get it, I do not want it anymore. As I have mentioned, I have insulin-dependent diabetes. I have had it since I was a little shy of ten years old, and have been promised an imminent cure ever since. So when I tell you that “…it’s time for my shot…” offended me more in that moment than two Rain Mans put together, I want you to understand my full meaning here. People who crap on that Christopher Nolan is some awesome director who can not do wrong can blow me. Their opinion has less meaning to me than the life of Jenny McCarthy.
