As much as I hate to admit this but Jade Goody...

apology accepted

 

then your brain is non existant nt

 

Yes, that middle class...

Exactly. And with that clarification I totally agree with your original post.

This thing goes beyond television - it's indicative of a serious malaise in the intellect and imagination of this society...

 

Snobs! Listening to you two, maybe Jade has a point! nt

 

You are joking ain't ya?!? nt

 

Aye, but you are getting a tad pretentious.

Pretentious, moi!

 

RE: Aye, but you are getting a tad pretentious.

Sorry mate but it's true - if you're a doctor, a nurse, a soldier or a fireman what do you get? Nowt. Stick a loudmouth, ignorant, crass, ill mannered yokel on telly and it's instant fame...

Not exactly the most solid basis for a civilised society...

Maybe I'm being a tad dramatic but the gist is there...

 

Pfffff

Sorry, I read your second line and thought it actually said:

"it's indicative of a serious mayonnaise in the intellect and imagination of this society..."


I think Britain is the only country in the world where a phrase "too clever by half" could ever exist. We stink.

 

Jade was a dental nurse wasn't she? Does that count?

Probably not, good with spitting though.

 

See - I told you they should sink! nt

 

Exactly....

The glorification of the mediocre is about the only thing we excel at these days...

I was going to put mayonnaise but I didn't know how to spell it...

 

Err, no!!! nt

 

RE: the problem is far more than Jade

Reality TV, the most misleading, trashy oxymoron around.
