As a lot of you have hinted or thought about... I am reaching the point where I watch a bit of telly throughout the day. I avoid watching daytime television, trying to keep it down to lunch time only. OK, maybe an extended lunch, but believe me my options are limited.
One thing that has been making me incredibly angry recently is advertising. I mean, the people who come up with advertising ideas, not only do they lack a soul, but they think we are incredibly stupid. Stupid the people that paid for the 'Halifax' adverts that always rip off a track that it is at least three years old.
In the words of Bill Hicks 'They suck the devil's cock' they are 'Satan's spawn'. I personally, not only agree with it, but would like to extend it to the fact that they are the bastard children of nonces, dentists and estate agents. Not only that, but they are a bunch of smug bastards responsible for a quarter of the shit that hits our screens. I know that I am not forced to watch it, but believe me, I know it is awkward to be in a room with someone that makes you turn the volume down when the ads are on.
There is a show that I don't really know why I watch. I know that when I reveal it, you will secretly ask yourself that awkward question... why the fuck do I watch Hollyoaks. It is shocking. I have been here so long that I remember when it was believable!!! That came to an end when the script writers decided on having a bit of 'vigilante' fun and some characters tried to 'get rid' of a drug dealer. Then reality went out with a bang. The explosions begun and the 'late night specials' joined them. The late night specials were there to feed the lust of plenty a parent and pre-teen kids. There wasn't even a cheeky nipple showing to make it worth while. Then, their approach to tackling 'real' issues. People hinting about 'doing it', 'getting some action later' and many cliches avoiding to say the word SEX.
The character consistency is that of a snot. No consistency whatsoever. Mercurial characters that change from one scene to another. The stupid becomes cool, the cool becomes a bully and a loser and at moments it seems that they are all reading the wrong lines, picking the dialogue at random, only making sure to cover the necessary dialogue never minding who was actually supposed to deliver it.
In a nutshell. Hollyoaks with all it shit shallow acting, young pretty girls in skimpy outfits with an equal amount of brains as clothes, surreal situations and a plot and story so full of holes... be honest with yourself, if that is what you look for in a show or video you are fooling yourself there as you'd really rather be watching some good old school porn.
