Some complete fucking tosh on BBC1 at the moment. Essentially it involves a group of self righteous young twats in Thailand, and looking at the jobs the locals have.

Maybe im missing a trick but there appears to be no point in it, and they are pissing me off with each new line they come out with.

"They have to stand on their feet FOR UPTO 8 HOURS A DAY, 6 DAYS A WEEK".

"People should think of the workers. They have no individuality here. Theyre stood in their white clothes and face masks all day".

WHAT THE FUCK? Have none of these people left their houses before? You dont need to travel to Thailand to find working conditions like that.

I was on my feet today for 8 hours, wearing the same uniform as everyone else OMG INDIVIDUALITY PLZ AND 8 HOURS ON MY FEET HOLY SHIT.

I do worry about the BBC these days, it seems like 80% of the progamming is being made by completely clueless fuckwits from Islington.

Add this while were on it: fucking censorship bull shit.

The new Tarantino film is called inglorious basterds or something. It says it on the screen but the voiceover prick only calls it "inglorious"? WHY, THATS NOT THE MOTHER FUCKING NAME OF THE MOTHER FUCKING FILM.

Listen to Nath, his tall brain speaks the truth.

The Wire will make you forget that all tv is shit and give a meaning to your geordie life once more.

I saw that show. Only good bit was when the girl gave the thai lady some money to go see her child.

I watched it for about five minutes during a Family Guy commercial break and tbh those wingers should be placed in forced labor camps for a year to man the fuck up. Oh, and no offense but those other morons from Young, Dumb, etc should be placed in a maximum harshness borstal for a five year minimum stretch. </fascist>

Because Sky are twats

Fuck all to do with Sky. Its because HBO can make more money for less effort through syndication than by selling direct outside the US (particularly as they have a big co-production deal with the BBC). That's going to change though. Expect far more direct channels from US networks over the next few years and not just on TV. Hulu should be here within a the next year and others will follow.
