I had a mate who went on Blockbusters, he did two Gold-runs and got a shitty personal organiser, crappy rugby shirt & Dictionary, & a weekend in Belgium (great when you're 16, funny as fuck when you look back!)! They just don't make shows like they used to...
Really? Wow, watching it you think you're going to get the moon on a stick, don't you? Now it's all money, money, money. And JAde Goody. How depressing it's gotten!
I know, TV values are so fucked up these days. Reality TV has really ruined TV as a whole. It's like how many TV shows do you need with celebritites in long winded, fly on the wall, irrelevant phone-in shows for 'charity' in situations like ice skating, jungles, farms, dance floors, doing karaoke, in a circus, on a tropical island or simply sitting in a house all day.
And that's not including General Joe Public in The X-factor, Big Brother or Come Dancing! I fucking hate TV. Love the odd drama or comedy, but 90% of telly is just mind numbing waste of space soaps or reality TV. If TV Chiefs (to make this relevant to this thread!) could have got away with a phone-in competition and broadcast Saddam's hanging, then by crikey they would have done it.
And you say Saddam is pure evil? I think the people telling you he was evil (the media) is the real root of it all, as who told you all you know about him, how can you judge him otherwise unless you were in a non-western country or actually in Iraq?
