Another insight in to my slightly mis-wired mind anyone?
No? Tough!!
A week off work this week, and I've kind of missed it. The banter, the involvement, the fun.
Plus the unnamed person I like, works in the same place...
Someone said in response to more sarcasm of mine recently...
" Have you seen you?"
To which the only answer was, "yes unfortunately, I felt quite ill"
This brings me to the real point of this post.
Everything in todays society HAS to be aesthetically pleasing. God forbid the banana is the wrong shape or that politician or 'celebrity' isn't beautiful.
People become 'famous' for sitting in a house talking crap, being a terrible singer or exposing themselves to large amounts of paperazzi. What happened to talent? We mock Bruce Forsyth's age, Susan Boyle's hideous face, but idolise some talentless half-wit from Britain's-Got-The-X-Factor-Strictly-Jungle-Ice-Dancing-Big-Brother. That Scares me. What happened to REAL talent? Morcambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Victoria Wood, Bottom, The Young Ones, Only Fools And Horses, Minder, Z Cars, Morse, Waking The Dead, Our Friends In The North, Boys From The Blackstuff, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, Bob Monkhouse, et al?
Apart from some talentless nobodies attempting to sing, some talentless nobodies eating kangaroo penis, some talentless nobodies attempting to dance or really badly acted and scripted, overplayed, overbroadcasted soap nonsense, what do you look forward to on tv?
There used to be shows you would stay in for, stay up for or wait all week to see. Now, would you stay in to see Lembit Opik eat dingo bollocks? Or a mentally retarded 50 year old from wigan attempt to sing at an anorexic person (Cole), plastic person (Minogue) and an incredibly rich walking ego (Cowell)? Or see some equally retarded gypsy children get married? It is disappointing if that is the highlight of our televisual experience.
It's also depressing that Prime time tv includes the likes of talentless nobodies like Ant and Dec and the pointless Vernon Kay (Wasn't funny, isn't funny, won't be funny).
Glad I got that off my chest!!!!
