So it begins…
The summer of football and reality TV starts with a vengeance tonight, with the arrival of 13 weeks of the dullest programming since the test card disappeared from our screens… yes, it’s the 7th series of “Big Brother”…
Now, I’ve ranted before about what a total waste of airtime this show is, and how deluded the production company are at their “popularity”.
I have no doubt that it’s relatively popular, as even people who hate the concept are talking about it - but at the end of the day, watching 12 people arguing and bickering in a house designed to be unpleasant to live in is hardly riviting television… yes, people want to see romance blossom, at the end of the day, this is voyeurism at it’s most commercial. It beggars belief why anyone would give up their life for potentially 3 months, probably have to quit their job etc, and possibly come out at the end of the penultimate week with nothing - sorry, but most people can’t do that - mortgages don’t pay themselves…
Then there’s the upcoming World Cup - so many England flags being sold, again, really, does it matter, do you think I care about the result of 22 overpaid men kicking a small ball around a field?
Update I’ve added a poll to the sidebar here - vote for your favourite summer event from “The World Cup”, “Big Brother”, “Doctor Who kicking some Cybermen Arse”, and “None of the above”
