Here's some random thoughts on stuff that have made an impact on my intrestometer this week, mainly around the construction and the viewing of television programmes

One of my favourite programmes on TV at present is Harry Hill's TV Burp, it's simply genius! if you think about it everyone of us is hardwired to pick up on other peoples mistakes, so laughing at others misfortune, spelling mistakes, factual foibles etc. is just what comes natural. My point? well with the above in mind I am fortunate enough to own a sky + box and my point however laboured is this: Sky + is like having a DIY 24hr access version of Harry Hill's TV Burp.........for example watch if you will the Dell advert, the one wheremen in some kind of factory start singing "lolly pop, lolly pop, ooh lolly,lolly pop" you know the one. At the very start there is a black guy wearing a hard hat, who starts off the annoying tune that once heard gets in your head and makes you sing it all day long (anyway that's another rant for another day) next thing that happens is another bloke suddenly stands up next to black guy (from out of shot under the screen) and starts doing his overalls up!! I'll leave you to watch and make your own mind up as to what it looks like, but I think it looks quite suspicious

Why Would You?

My next rant is regarding the tv programme called britains embarrassing bodies; on Channel 4. This programme is guaranteed to have you reaching for your remote whilst hiding your view behind the nearest cushion or object you can lay your hands on quickest, it contains the most graphic images possible of ailments and conditions that you can imagine, for instance I watched one week as a young lady complained to the on screen doctor of having chronic pyles for a period of about ten years, the next shot was an unnecessarily prolongued close up of said condition............my question is this: Why on gods green earth would you subject yourself to having a close up of your anus viewed by millions of unsuspecting licence holders?  I mean, imagine going into work the following day after displaying your most intimate orrifice on national tv? or dropping your kids off at school? or shopping in your local supermarket. The knowing smirks, the 'haven't i seen you before somewhere?' questions then when the penny drops the shame of seeing flashing through that persons mind the vision of your inner most what should be secret medical conditions.

two things spring to mind 'why' and 'don't'
