they all need fucking slapping.
and then Sugar needs killing. I really don't get why Apprentice is considered acceptable television. Why is "winning" by being a backstabbing grasping cunt any better or more "highbrow" than winning by shoving a wine bottle up your vajoo or pretending to be a cat?

I like this
However, I would contend that The Apprentice is excellent television, as long as you work on the premise that Sugar and his aides are taking the piss and laughing behind their hands at every single one of the self-important twats who believe they're The Future Of British Business (TM)

It's all symptomatic of a catastrophic decline in human society
In that the vast majority are only entertained by either cringeworthy suffering or by clinging onto the idea that lack of talent or any inclination to do hard work isn't actually a barrier to success as long as you have THE TELLY. I genuinely, honestly, hate it. It's sickening. (not specifically the apprentice, I mean the whole area)

I've tried to think of either a comforting or witty retort to this
and cannot. I must therefore resort to the ostrich approach, and pretend you're not painfully correct.

Hardly the same sort of car crash TV though
It's OK to indulge in the idiot box as long as it's intelligent programming like BSG.

You'll be telling me a parsec is a unit of distance rather than time next
