Manifesto of the Courtneyists

Shit TV -Shituationism

This is the new episode "Shituationism" made for "The Guy Debord Show" at New Gallery Catalog, New York.

..

To celebrate the anniversary of the First Situationist International, Shit TV will be discussing the impact of Situationism on culture and art, interviewing members of the public and members of the private to get their points of view, recreating some of the defining moments of the SI and hanging about in toilets. All the regular Shit TV segments will be featured, such as Shitty Things, Hunt the Dump, Charlotte Talks Shit, and And Now for Something Completely Shit, but with a Debordist bent.


November 19th, the day this episode airs, is also World Toilet Day. Charlotte & Fred are very excited about this.

Fatalists signature tattoo - 'Pupil of Fatalism'

Several of the original Fatalists, and later 'hardcore' recruits are tattooed with a black circle on the right upper arm (notably, this has only occurred since the death of the founding member of Fatalism, Clem Fatale, earlier this year). This is known as a Fatalist pupil, being both an acknowledgment of one's commitment to the movement, and a reference to the human eye, whom, directly quoting Richey Edwards (guitarist in Welsh angst-rock band Manic Street Preachers, officially missing since 1995), state

'The only perfect circle on the human body is the eye. When a baby is born it's so perfect. But when it opens it's eyes it's just blinded by the corruption and everything else is a downward spiral.'

Fatalists claim that the mark acts as a mnemonic as to their raison d'etré, a symbol of a lost, irretrievable purity, and a stamp of allegiance.

The tattoo's ubiquity over the last 2 years has come under much public attack, particularly by the Metropolitan Police due to it's patent reference to Anarchism.
