Kill Them All

As regular readers will know Fizz is waging a one man war against Channel 4, however I now feel like joining in.

For the last few nights I've come home to find some of the most appalling people I've ever seen on my TV. Big Brother (I'm not linking to it) and Sex With Strangers.

The collection of folk they've gathered together for this year's Nothings Who Think They're Something competition is unbelieavable. How have they managed to find such appalling individuals?

The Glaswegian guy, who seemed determined that people realise he's a hard man..."He taunted me with his dancing!" Have you ever seen a guy so afraid of his actual sexuality? And Victor, is it? The "Do you know who I am?" guy. The guy who looks like he's desperate to rape that daft wee lassie to 'teach her a lesson.' Scum. I enjoyed that he accused her of being a racist, like she couldn't dislike him simply for the fact that he's a knob. You must be racist, eh?

They love their stupid lassies on Big Brother, don't they? Like it's all a big laugh that some woman has got into her twenties without being able to spell 6 letter words or know the difference between a country and a bit of fruit.

See when you realise that you're gay, is it before or after you put on a high voice, become hysterical over nothing and start mincing around in your underwear?

Aye, turn it off, fine, but Channel 4 are still wasting money on it. Still neglecting to find/create actual quality programming, putting people with skills and talent on television. And what the fuck is it they're getting them to do while they're in there "Marco's task is to fall over the feather and roll over 6 times...Marco has passed his task." Why not get 12 folk, lock them in a room and see if they can come up with a cure for cancer or AIDS? It might be worthwhile, you could actually have respect for them and they may justify their 'celebrity' afterwards.

Just point a camera at everybody, then everyone's famous and to rise to the ranks of 'celebrity' whatever the fuck that is, you would have to rise above everyone else. Not just be one of a handful of people on television, famous for nothing.

What a horrible thing Big Brother is, giving people who want fame and attention but have no talent or skills the outlet to achieve all their shallow goals.

Just take it off air now. Channel 4 seem delighted that there was a 'near riot' the other night there. It seemed to me like spoiled children throwing their toys around and screaming at the top of their voices. Now they think they can justify its inclusion in the broadcast schedule cos there was some 'controversy.' Pull the plug on it.

As for Sex With Strangers, a collection of trailer trash Americans who 'swing.' Funnily enough they were all to a man and woman unattractive, imagine that. "It was her pussy I was eating out. I'm not having no one tell me to get out the way. She wasn't telling me to stop or nothing. It's her pussy."

What did amuse me was that the epilogue told us that they had all either lost their jobs because of their swinging or they had become Born Again Christians.
