Anyone seen esther ranson recently, she was on the tv at the weekend, dunno what the funk she's done to her face. Looks like she decided to iron her face but missed about half of it.

question: do you think there's anything wrong with the people in the audience at the jerry springer show?

 

[Latex lizzie]

Not solely because they're in the jerry springer audience, but in general... yes.

Hmm I saw a bit of 'Distraction' presented by Jimmy Carr on E4 last night - there was a quiz and instead of the usual buzzer, the contestants were given toilets - whoever produced a pissy trickle first got to answer the question.

It vaguely reminded me of a Roger Melly strip from about ten years ago where Roger created a TV show on which mystery celebrities would stand at the top of a step ladder and shit into a bucket on the floor below. Contestants would have to examine the texture and content of the kaka and guess the celebrity.

What's the world coming to?, etc....

(Imagine Arthur Murphy reading my post out on 'Mailbag' - now that was a TV show!)

FM104 or 98fm or whatever have some prize at the moment where they are giving away a 50k wedding. The catch is you can't marry someone you know. Eh....uh??????

and how do they differ from people who watch these kinds of programs regularly? correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't it all about getting some weird satisfaction from other people's stupidity and celebrating the fact that you're not as stupid by gufawing at these "stupid" people? the only difference that i can see is that (possibly) people who watch these programs from the comfort of their own homes don't scream and yell out loud. (possibly).

I honest to God can't watch jerry springer though, i'd keep on channel surfing, i find it very depressing along with trisha, ricki lake, and that gimp on late night utv etc. and then there's soap operas.....

eugh! get him! what else can i remember... murphy's micro quizim was a really spectacular show... remember those graphics when they used to shoot at the asteroids? and dallas? and dynasty? and the colbys? and falcon crest? and chinese curry for a treat on fridays in front of the tv wathing bob monkhouse presenting family fortunes? and ted rogers' dusty bin?

evil, evil bin. he has the intestines of several small children in there.

 

[Rimbaud]

Turn off this shite - watch Micheal Palin instead or EuroNews or soemthing.

Eh... check my first post.

 

[Ex-User (250)]

Eh... check my first post.

oh, sorry, i sounded like you were going to continue watching. those programs make me sad, it's like celebrating the shittest aspects of humanity... and they just keep coming. more and more of them, each one more depressing than the last. it makes you wish you were deaf and blind sometimes.

Indeed, and tv3 a la the amanda byram connection is like some portal into the worst american tv shows

 

[Anthony]

i had no idea that was amanda byram. I was in college with her, well, we shared a canteen.

not that there's anything wrong with sleeping with the right people to get you up the TV3 ladder... but it's widely known she does this. there's nothing wrong with it... it's like reading the financial times before you go to work, 'just gives you the upper hand on your competitors. only, in this case, it's the sexual times.
