Si hay algo que recuerdo de primero básico es a Gastón, el matón del curso que me robaba la colación, metiéndose las manos con mocos a la boca, poniendo los ojos blancos y molestándome frente a todo el curso “Guillermo Nigote”(el personaje baboso de Basuritas al que le faltaban los dientes de adelante, igual que a mí en esa época) o Felipe R. Forado(un tipo que se perforaba la oreja, y que se llamaba igual que yo) . Si un día me encuentro a Gastón en la calle, seguro que lo dejo pidiendo hora al dentista XD.
“Basuritas” fue más que un álbum, fue un hito pop que dividió an entire generation, an album that pitted father against son. It was the fascination of many and torture of a few, the karma of those unfortunate enough to be called as one of his characters. An album banned in many schools, confiscated by teachers and parents destroyed. One that ended being collected secretly by children who exchanged the slats in the back yard, as if they were drugs.
Ok, now there are many schools where this happens. But we're talking early nineties, when everything seemed more innocent, the return to democracy with a president (Alwyn) Democrat, even banned Maiden coming to Chile in 92 to be considered "satanic", but that's another story.
remember very well that I was one of the first to arrive Debris under the arm to school. I became a hero immediately. The album instead of being asexual Disney characters, monkeys had vomited, dandruff, blood and mucus. As teachers hated him, have him was the toughest in the world.
Slowly, the album was gaining in popularity until the majority began to collect it. Hence, discrimination, was a step. It was the fittest. Those who did not let them have it, were the losers and white all the jokes.
The main problem, however it caused the number of blades stereotyping mechanics, bus drivers and teachers, as well as adults, after they bought the album to their children (like my parents ) realized violent and disgusting images, which for a 7 year old (then) was very disturbing. That's when all the popularity obtained turned against the distributors.
A few weeks after going on sale, suffered a crash Debris included the prohibition to all kiosk near a private school to sell.
remember on TV showed Salo offices in take. Colored banners, shrill voices and ketones with colored ribbons on each arm. Penguin revolution, with students who have crossed the street hand in hand with the aunts. It was a full course of first grade with their teachers. All carried banners reading "No to Debris' and demanded the withdrawal of the album. "The issue is that the children were so small that they could hardly know what they were talking about."
This was the chapter most end of the war that private schools declared "Debris" during the three months he was on the newsstands. An album that included prohibition and persecution of anyone who had. In my school
circular sent to parents not to buy it. They said it undermined the moral and Christian values. But most of them collected the same on the sly. At recess, we had to hide to share or play sheets. If we caught, we had to inspector and I did not see the album.
I would say there began another major problem: when the school was divided between those with and Debris those who do not. "
Debris was the only album that my mom, then buy it, I was forbidden to collect during my childhood. Even I had to lie saying that he had launched to make it quiet, and to compensate I bought the album SOS Green, one of laminitis suckers on trees and flowers freight that nobody remembers. And that, in a country with per capita consumption of envelopes world's highest (39 per child), was condemned to social purgatory.
However, for my part, I preferred to be clandestine. As my family have it banned, I made a strategic alliance with a classmate to hide at home. It was the only way. I was in the Edward College at the time, Christian values, and Debris was almost a sacrilege. To see the pictures, we had to walk into a courtyard away from everything. And there we stayed for the entire hour of collation.
The fact of having been declared illegal, became even more desirable to the album. It was not just to have an album, but to go en masse against the rules of parents and school. The excuse to have a good feeling rebellious.
Lifting the pure child of the Lord flies generated excessive so fanatical views. The most memorable of all appeared in an edition of the magazine Que Pasa pear year. Rodrigo Infante, then director of the school Apoquindo (opus dei), even said that Debris sought "to destroy the values \u200b\u200bof Western society and the family."
Today, Infante vaguely remember the theme "What I remember is that we met several of the principals of schools in the eastern area and agree that we should ban this album. I acted as official spokesman. Now when I reread the quote seems a bit exaggerated, but I always defend the value of the family. " Luckily
not seen Southpark XD.
Locked and censored, Debris stock exhausted after three months. At the time of collecting the prize, the few who completed the album could feel real heroes. In the end, I believe that despite all the problems, the album left many profits for its distributors. Even after they took giant posters of monsters. And, obviously, the children exchanged all.
Debris think it was the best of albums even created urban myths about children who had accidents or had committed suicide trying to imitate the sheets. To say a weon on the radio that said that this album was banned over 50 countries because he was possessed by the devil and had children that were placed diabolical and weas jajajaja.
Well, in my current perspective I think this kind of albums are much more creative than most of the albums that are the children now and I think they would do well to have one more now to open your mind ...
I still think that at the end: All times were better ... ... ... What about now? ... Albums on characters from the show business? ..... FOME filthy.
