I accidentally found myself watching Celebrity Juice last night

[Classic Jorge]

I was sort of mesmerised, like in the same way that as a child you saw a rotting, dead cat carcass and just had to poke it with a stick. I couldnt get away. I wasnt so much hooked as appalled and repulsed, caught half way between fight and flight mechanisms and rooted to the ground.

Anybody who actually voluntarily watches this needs to be weeded out of the gene pool immediately, we cant allow them to breed or we face a very real possibility that we could be outnumbered by them in a generation.

Mark my words, in fifteen years time the mouthbreathing, vacuous f**ktards will have the whip hand and like the tiber, our rivers will froth with blood.

It makes X-Factor look like The Late Review. It's not so much lowest common denominator, it's past the lowest possible common denominator, the bar is now so low it has to be accessed via a mineshaft

Xfactor, on the other hand, is a genuine force for evil in this world.

[Ashberto]

and liquidised?

That might be quite good.

It's like 8 out of 10 cats for the developmentally disabled

I don't know why people get so riled by tv. I watch a lot of **** but I'm a sensible individual.

There's so many channels to fill. I don't think the history of the atom would really cut it on Saturday night prime time TV.
Though I must say I'm surprised at how many celebs watch all these types of programmes. Judging by things like Twitter. I would have assumed the rich and famous had enough money and better opportunities to do something else with their time, but apparently not. Lots of footballers always tweet about the X Factor

[Classic Jorge]

Do you have a bit of dirty S4C action?

[Classic Jorge]

But seriously, ITV2's output damages the IQ of pets watching it.

What do you think of Full English btw?

[JJSB]

that doesn't require too much concentration

[Classic Jorge]

[Monty91]

No concern about its corrosive impact on young people?

[JJSB]

that's all. Rio Ferdinand and Rooney are two of the worst footballers for reality tv that I've come across on there.

[Classic Jorge]

We had stuff like Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fi........oh

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Whether it wanted to be offensive or funny. Both not mutually exclusive of course, but they didn't really marry the two either.

[Classic Jorge]

Why would you do that?

[Classic Jorge]

All of these animated family sitcoms tend to need, much like a foreign player, half a series to get going.

It's no Bob's Burgers though, now that's genius

high cost of education etc. If you look below the surface, this does contribute to the make it big on TV option. Some would feel that's their only decent shot at a good life. But how exactly is that a lot different to the council estate lad who wants to be a footballer? Only a tiny percentage of these kids actually make it.

[JJSB]

so noteworthy enough

[Ashberto]

[Classic Jorge]

In fact, I think I might have blocked Rooney, I'm sure he'll be devastated, I know.

Rio's one of those people you cant avoid, like Peirs Moron

1) There's a bigger safety net in place for aspirational footballers (i'm talking about any kid that wants to be a footballer, not those who narrowly fail to earn contracts)
2) Footballers are not given misleading, unrealistic hope of their chances
3) Aspirational footballers are not presented with utter mediocrities as role models and then told that is what you should aspire to
4) Football is a meritocratic industry - xfactor is manipulative and dehumanising to its contestants and drags music down to its most uninspiring level.

[Monty91]

in the mirror and ask why.

Preferably in a melodramatic "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYY" way, with your head in your hands and 4 days of stubble, coz that would be funny.

[JJSB]

Rather like some of the posts on this thread there's too much analysis about what is a trivial matter. Why would I spend any time deliberating on who to follow or not follow? It doesn't really mean anything

[Ashberto]

chance in life is to become a Big Brother contestant.

People can, and do, raise themselves, but being encouraged to be a moron by **** TV can't help.

of common wisdom.

Basically whatever is happening NOW is how the situation definitively is and always will be.

He is one of the thickest ****s on Awimb, no question.

[JJSB]

Youth unemployment very high. Opportunities are far more limited. Education is expensive.

[JJSB]

as its topical. And in the context of this place, the common wisdom is that X Factor and reality TV is just sh1t
