I sometimes despair of the human race! With major disasters happening seemingly everyday, the credit crunch, children being horrifically abused, what occupies the minds of the public and the media? It's one of two issues. The ongoing saga of Strictly Come Dancing with the dancing pig, and is the voting on X factor fair?
What seems to have been missed with the 'pig' is that he finally quit to go on a free luxury cruise (or so it was reported) and who really cares about the X Factor and the (so it seems) stage managed rows. It's about time we had a reality check on the reality tv shows! Those who know tell me it's cheap to make the programmes (and it sure does show in the content) and the whole aim of the programmes is to win the battle of the viewers. Do not even get me started on Big Brother and I'm a celebrity!
Can you imagine what would happen if the put down of contestants, the sarcasm of highly paid 'celebrity' judges etc were to happen in the office or workplace? Before you could say Simon Cowell, someone would be facing a disciplinary hearing and eventually be dismissed for gross misconduct. Talking of gross misconduct, I see a certain chat show host/radio presenter has been given the green light to return to work after his suspension ends.
When will someone face the reality that reality tv is past its sell by date and should be disposed of. Please put it out of our misery!
