This is the story of a parallel universe; in a normal universe people are expected to pay large mounts of money every month in order to hopefully obtain services and to pay people to deliver these services. To make sure this happens in accordance with the wishes of those who paid this money, there are something called elected representatives.
Yes we know it sounds too good to be true. Believe me it is because in our parallel universe if we wanted anything like that or if any of us dared to think or even speak or write anything which may not quite fit in with what the service providers thought or did, we were victimised because we live in a parallel universe called Krapton.
In Krapton if you dare to step out of line - Yes you’ve got it, you get Krapton by Hooperman, who has special powers –at least 6 actually- conferred on him from above. Just to make sure you are afraid to step out of line there are a couple of meteorites flying around this universe, one smaller than the other, the smaller one is believed to have been part of celestial twins but one twin broke off a while ago taking the brain cells with it - meteorites are dull, directionless lumps of dense material which seem to be hurtling just about anywhere but it can hurt if one lands on you.
Everyone seems afraid of them because you never know where they will hit next but you can be sure the people who are meant to serve the people who pay up will always support them as they too are afraid of them. No-one knows why. Anyone who complains about these meteorites get nowhere because the complaints go back to the all singing all dancing super-multi-tasking Hooperman who lets them off the hook every time.
So in the Krapton universe if you do actually dare to step out of line you are liable to be Krapton by Hooperman. But he just makes things worse, whether he is trying to stop you being friends with someone he doesn’t want you to be friends with maybe because heaven forbid ‘they hold strong views’ or whether he tries to stop you talking to someone in case you discover something he doesn’t want you to know – you get the picture. When he has made things worse instead of better he then calls on his mate Lose Again, who will try to clear up the mess, at the same time distancing himself from his own part in that mess, you know, just like Tony Blair – now there’s a parallel universe if you like! But there are similarities if you think about it (oh sorry I forgot, you mustn’t think).
Tony Blair does similar things to Hooperman- he’s a lawyer, he tells porkies and then tries to cover them up, he goes to war against innocent people, and he tries to get so called colleagues to get him out of the Kraptonite. He tries to suffocate democracy but eventually even his so called friends may desert him and turn on him in the end. But No! that won’t happen to Hooperman because he will probably hang up his cape and retire - wouldn’t you with a pension like he will get from all those super powers. Video Clip
