# Arf
Excellent.
Side note: what's this huge vendeatta b3tans have against the program this very animation mocks? It's only on one main channel (which most people here consider shite anyway) and only really interferes in the shittier sort of magazines you can find at your local newsagents. The program itself isn't that bad, it's just really overexposed, but surely it's not that difficult to avoid?

# yeah, but it's still rubbish

# Meh
I only started watching it last year because I wanted to know what the hell my girlfriend was talking about and again for the same reason this year (though we aren't together anymore). Fortunately none of my friends are idiotic enough to talk about it more than just passively and besides, it's not like there's much better on at 10pm each night.

# Yes
But my computer has a TV card...plus, I have a TV right next to the computer...so I can do both at once.

# The trouble is that anyone who watches it
seems to assume that everyone else in the office/pub/house/whatever desperately wants to hear a poorly rendered 2nd hand account of anything that went on in the last night's show.

It's just gossip fodder for the dimwits, which is fine if they weren't so sure that I gave a flying fuck.

EDIT: If all I had to do to avoid this shite was not watch TV and not read tabloid papers, I'd have never heard of it in the first place. As it is, I'm gonna have to start killing people in order to not keep hearing about it.

# it'd be better
if you had a Vespa. ;)

Edit: On a semi-related note, BB5 just started over here. And yes, it's pathetic. Go figure.
