What a horrible, horrible man

The wife has put that irritating X-Factor program. I'm not paying attention but one bit just broke through my concentration barrier.

A young lady judge was giving some constructive criticism to yet another talentless contestant. She was being nice about it, and then some chap from some failed 1990s boy band who somehow is qualified to judge, turned round and on live TV, said to the young lady, 'I don't know what offends me more, what you've just said, or your cigarette ash breath'.

Call me old fashioned, but if I'd have been present when he said it I'd have been duty bound to take the lad outside to discuss the issue. I was always taught that you just don't speak to a lady like that. Ok, it can happen in the heat of a massive row, but not in a calm discussion and certainly not in front of anyone.

 

I'd have taken him outside to discuss the issue also, with Mr Snuggles, the baseball bat

 

Dave if you watch the much over-hyped X Factor , you deserve to be upset
My wife watches X factor , X factor USA , American Idol........ but luckily when I am not in the room ! I just call these shows , Opportunity Knocks on steroids ! They are all well past their sell by date .

 

I get up and walk away from more TV than I watch these days. I refuse to let their tack get into my mind,

I don't watch X-Factor or, for that matter, very much TV at all. Wife does though, and that means as much as I ignore the thing (the telly that is) sometimes bits of it get through.

If I was to blatantly insult one of my colleagues in front of everybody, I'd fully expect to get done for it. Possibly even sacked. In every employment contract I've seen, that sort of behaviour would qualify as gross misconduct punishable by summary dismissal. Yet because it was ITV, and it was some two bit 'celebrity' from a failed boy band, somehow its acceptable. Once it caught my attention, I looked round and watched for a minute. The young lady maintained her professional composure, but it was quite clear to see the hurt on her face.

I'd boycott the telly in protest, but the trouble is its in our living room, and at this time of year its not always nice to retreat to the garden

 

And they wonder why today's "young" are so rude and disrespectful. They are fed junk like this from a very young age. I cannot believe anyone wants to watch stuff like Eastenders or Coronation Street. What a pathetic load of tosh,

Its all done to make people watch the show, if everyone was nice, nobody these days would watch.
Have you noticed modern quiz games are about setting one contestant against the other, the nastier they are to one another the more the audience likes it, or so it seems.

People are very aggressive these days in their daily lives and that has been carried on into TV programmes.
When was the last time you saw a "cuddly toy" as a prize.
You either win masses of cash or walk away empty handed.

 

Just clutter off to the GH you lucky booger,
Jenny
