Another TV rant.

[turbanator]

There was something on last night which Kirstie said I'd hate - and I did - with a passion - so much so that I HAD to turn it off.

It was a bunch of saddoes all vying to be Jade Goodie's PA!!

WTF - she's a nobody, she does less than Paris Hilton or Tara P-T.

Why do program makers think that anyone with an IQ above one where they need to be watered want to see this?

Arrrggh!!

Just for a minute I thought you were going to go off on one about Tanya Streeter's freediving tosh with sharks - so much hype & BS obviously done for the ignorant masses, and since when did mantas and whalesharks count as anything remotely scary to assist with her (alleged) fear of sharks????

Well at least she has a skill rather than existing soley to perpertuate her own 'fame'.

I bet it did not include gems like (and I'll have to paraphrase).


"Right, if you were out, right, and people were bad-mouthing me, right, like what would you do?"

She makes Catherine Tate's schoolgirl look like Einstein!

Is laugh the right answer?

Tanya Streeter's doc was laughable, but it should get better next week when the tiger sharks come out to play The one on the clip looked a little feisty.

I could see why she was crying at all those snorkellers crowding that poor juvenile whaleshark in the shallows though. It was horrendous, there must have been 30 of them all over it in about 4m of water. Put me off the Maldives a bit, I have to say.

I guess the average TV viewer has an IQ < 1

I threaten my wife with violence if she pauses too long on the "celebrity scissorhands" thing while flicking through the channels.

Oi!

I only needed a quick nap after satisfying Kirstie - oh, you mean the drink
This was so-called prime time. I'd just come in from a hard session of hunter-gathering, well, I went to collect a take-a-way.

Tut tut tut young man. You really should know better and are suffering the Mary Whitehouse syndrome whereby you watch a TV programme so that you are able to turn it off in disgust.

I will not watch or be in the same room when a soap or the X Factor thing or the I'm a Wanker Get Me Out of Here or others of the same ilk are on. It's much easier, I don't get cross about it nor do I run the risk of being sucked into a vegetable like state.

Maintain the smug ground and don't watch such tat in the first place!
