Shut the f@ck up you wowsers

Most likely the worst show on television right now is bullshit Big Brother on 10. It's puerile, infantile and downright bloody stupid. The people on it highlight the lowest common denominator in our society today - white trash and bogans who think the likes of Paris Hilton are role-models to aspire to. What else do you expect from people who want to be famous just for being famous.

In response to this crass crap, there now another group attempting to hog the limelight. Most prominent amongst them are the wowsers and prudes most typically found in parliament who are now decrying the offensiveness of the show. Now call me cynical, but isn't this the type of typical moral crusader stunt one would pull in order the gain column inches in the national papers. Couldn't these well-paid pollies find better uses for their times than worrying about a dying fad thrashing about in its death throes on the Simpsons Station? They may be so ensconced in their ivory towers that they may not be aware of this marvellous invention that's been added to televisions in recent years called an on/off switch. If you don't like the show you can simply do what I do - turn the bloody thing off.

Then again morons who get upset at shows like this and want to protect us for our own good probably can't grasp the simple solution that exists here. What else did they expect to see when they tune into a show labeled Big Brother Uncut - gardening tips?

The big problem as I see it is the government funding that goes to local productions. It's one thing to help local television, another to pay Channel 10 to make this shit. and...I am pretty sure that channel 10 and Dreamworld have the cash to do this without funding. The question quite simply is why fund this shit as opposed to something more intelligent..or is that intellect? ;~]

Now, if this is in breach of the broadcast laws, then let the relevant authorities handle it.
