Whilst watching more4 and seeing `location location location`
it makes me wish they would do a follow on programme where all the people looking for homes are killed in the most violent manner possible, in slow motion and from various views.

I prefer grand designs.

the people getting houses are so up their own arses that it just makes me want to see them dead dead dead dead dead dead dead
in the most foulest manner possible.
(I helped save b3ta! Tyronne Get To Falkirk, Sun 17 May 2009, 15:09, archived)
This is very true in a lot of cases.
I just like seeing innovative designs.

I like A Place in the Sun.

Would you like to move to a new country with a great new life.
Or would you like to go back to your previous life, whinge about it...


...NOW
(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Sun 17 May 2009, 15:13, archived)
All of these programmes make me quite cross.
They're never about people on median salary, always about properties most people could never possibly hope to be able to afford.

I've nothing against wealthy people wanting a nice house,
what I object to is the implication that everybody should be interested in them. We're being spoonfed foolish aspirations presented as if it were some sort of useful advice.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 17 May 2009, 15:23, archived)
I think that they just assume that of you're watching then you're likely to be interested.
It doesn't strike me as a ridiculous assumption.
(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 17 May 2009, 15:32, archived)
This appears at first sight to be a very reasonable assumption,
but on deeper consideration is really decidedly dodgy. As far as I can tell, people in television decide what they think people ought to be interested in, and for some reason a great many people fall for it.
It's very subtle. Quite a lot of people are interested in homes and home improvements, and will watch on that basis, only to be drawn into taking for granted a grossly misrepresentative sample of house buyers.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 17 May 2009, 15:38, archived)
Yes, that must be it.
We are all dumb fuckers who are tricked into watching programmes that we don't really want to watch, in our millions, by those clever TV types. The clever TV types are so clever that they have realised that it is easier to give people stuff they don't want and trick them into watching it than just to give them what they want. It's all obvious really.

Sarcasm notwithstanding,
you've hit the nail right on the head there.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 17 May 2009, 15:44, archived)
Oh.

(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Sun 17 May 2009, 15:49, archived)
Seriously though,
commercial television, as a business, isn't interested in giving people what they want. They're interested in getting what they want, and what they want is for people to buy advertising space. If giving you what you want is the best way to do that then it's win-win, but they're far to busy to ask everyone and nobody really knows what they want anyway so they just systematically go through all the demographics. Plus they know enough people will watch it in any case because they don't have anything better to do, even if they do complain about how rubbish it all is afterwards. Really it all comes down to the fact that the adverts for Budget Carpet Warehouse already have their place in the middle of Coronation Street.

The BBC is a different matter. It's their mandate to make programmes they think you ought to see, for your own good, which is why the real lowest-common-denominator stuff is still on ITV.

I have nothing against people with money
its people with money who are so up their arses that it makes you want them dead for no reason other than the fact they are oiley morally bankrupt cunts.

I prefer the last 10 or so minutes of Grand Designs where you get to see it all finished.
And then get to listen to that pompous fuck's monologue.

I like watching it all and blaming the architect for everything that goes wrong,
and knowing that I am right. Architects are cunts.

You could have said something like:

I'd like to see 'The Bigger They Are', which follows the smug cunts as they lose their jobs
and depreciation has meant that their properties are being repossessed, leaving them in mountains of debt, living in a hostel eating beans and suffering from complete mental collapse.
