and you may have been right....but this new dutch channel "talpa" really takes the mustard. it's as if they've consolidated all the crap on the other chans we have, like dutch (but really american) "shock docs", "I want a famous face!! (because I firmly believe that I too could shag Jennifer Anniston if I looked exactly like Brad Pit but I'm too fucked up in the head and insecure to admit it)" and "Temptation Island Australia (do I really have to shag all those bimbos mate?)" into one massive regurgitation of diahorra directly from the magic god-box into our living rooms. it's crap. of the highest (or lowest) quality

Thats what the whiners who dont want to pay our TV licence will end up with, but are too stupid to realise it

but if they take all the crap (and hopefully the commercials too) off the other chans and just plunk it in one that would be fine with me. it's the fact that all the chans are basically broadcasting the same old regurgitation of (mostly american) spew and now there's yet another on e doing it that gets on my tits.

Be more selective with what you watch.

Must read the thread.

I haven't watched it, on general principals. I have read the reviews though, and when even forigners think it's crap then it *must* be crap

Talpa will broadcast the latest Dutch run of BB, which is rumoured to have secured the services of someone willing to give birth on live TV. Whether or not she has to be impregnated live on the show by someone she has never met while cheered on by five prostitutes is not noted.

ROFL

now that does sound like good entertainment

 

[dysfunction]

TV in general is really crap.

There are some really good programs and most tend to be on the channels you get with the TV licence...

It amazes me that Big Brother still continues and looks like it will continue for a while to come.

Oh well...the lowest common denomenator wins i guess

 

[throdgrain]

As usual :/
