			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you overdosed on the X Factor? Are the opinions of the judges getting you down? Have you felt like venting your feelings about the loss of your favourite contestant? Did Danyl’s departure in the semi-finals really get your goat? Did Lucie losing out to Jedward rile you to the point of despair? Or are you simply sick of the whole ‘poptastic’ shebang? </p>
<p>If the answer to any of these questions is “YES”, Borkowski has a couple of tasty slices of satirical goodness to ease your rage, two fine diversions from a toxic weekend of TV carnage.  In a burst of pre-Christmas generosity, we present The Exterminating Factor, a neat-but-twisted X rated game that allows the player an opportunity to vent their destructive feelings. All within the bounds of legality and common sense, of course – we are in no way suggesting that the game’s scenario should be re-enacted in real life. </p>
<p>You see, this twisted little game allows the player to shoot virtual nails into the disembodied heads of Simon Cowell, Danni Minogue, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh – and what would there be on TV worth being ranted and fulminated about if The Exterminator Factor were taken too seriously and acted upon in real life? </p>
<p>Better just to play the game and feel that shiver of nervous satisfaction as the first virtual nail strikes and two smaller judges’ heads burst from Simon Cowell’s smiling face. Or gasp as the dimpled smile of a tiny Cheryl Cole disappears forever in a hail of virtual nails.</p>
<p>Based on the gaming classic Asteroids, The Exterminating Factor is the perfect way of letting loose all your pent up frustrations at the 21st Century’s premier talent contest cum soap opera. Click on the picture to access the game.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.markborkowski.com/XterminatingFactor/index.html" target="blank"> </a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.markborkowski.com/XterminatingFactor/index.html" target="blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8566" title="exterminating-factor" src="http://www.markborkowski.com/wp-content/exterminating-factor.jpg" alt="exterminating-factor" width="475" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>And as if that wasn’t enough, Borkowski also presents a sharp, satirical poem for all the pacifists and non-gamers out there who are tired of celebrity for the sake of celebrity; of popularity contests masquerading as talent contests; who cannot bear to see the world and its wife doing everything in its power to be famous.</p>
<p>The Sleb’s Prayer, by the remarkable poet Adam Horovitz, features music based on a sample by great 60s garage rock band, The Groupies. The track has been wrapped up in Mel Rodiq&#8217;s stunning video in the style of magazines like Heat and OK. You can see it below.</p>

<p>I’d like tea with Lord Mountbatten<br />
I’d like a gin with dear old gran<br />
I’d like a brand new book by van der Post<br />
I’d like poetry to scan</p>
<p>I’d like a son who didn’t dress up<br />

and a chance to stop my sons’ lives<br />
from appearing in The Sun</p>
<p>I’d like my plants to answer back for once<br />
and tell me what they feel<br />
I’d like houses built from Portland stone<br />
and not from glass and steel</p>
<p>I’d like a handy time machine<br />
to take me back to 71<br />
so I could marry Camilla then<br />
&#038; have her as mother to my sons</p>
<p>I would like a peaceful life<br />
for the press to bugger off<br />
I’d like them to stop presenting me<br />
as an out of touch old toff</p>
<p>But I would give that all up<br />
if mother would just say<br />
‘Charles it’s your turn to be King,<br />
I’m stepping down today’.</p>

<p>Jonathan Ross is, Jonathan Ross is<br />
a sacrificial lamb for the BBC bosses<br />
he may be cheeky, sweary and slick<br />
a gold plated carrot on the end of a stick<br />
but however many kids he got watching the box<br />
his stellar career is now on the rocks<br />
at least at the Beeb, where he’s put on ice<br />
for phoning up actors and not being nice</p>
<p>but Jonathan Ross is, Jonathan Ross is<br />
perfectly capable of cutting his losses<br />
he could go anywhere, and quickly get work<br />
with a wink and a wave and a quirky smirk.</p>
<p>Jonathan Ross is, Jonathan Ross is<br />
highly unlikely to be carrying crosses<br />
he won&#8217;t walk on water but he’s not going to drown<br />
however much the press try to push him down.</p>
