Done! :)

My equivalent to that is what I call my "maybe al-Qa'eda has a point" moments - you know, something in the paper about celebrity pet therapists, an advert for Sex and the City II, vomit-strewn pavements, Alan Carr...

It's nice to be able to negotiate with those who hold different points of view. Unfortunately, what with al-Qaeda looking for the complete destruction of Judao-Christian civilisation, finding a compromise point is tricky.

As long as they destroy Alan Carr, it won't all be bad.

I like Alan Carr. True, I don't havva TV so not that inured to him, but he's just sooo common. He's a very true example of something - or he's playing it, dunno enough or care enough to find out - but he's like every civil service fag I've ever met. I mind his cooning less than, Graham Norton's or whatever because I don't see him as able to do anything else other than that, whereas Norton was very funny and dumbed himself down. I don't think Carr could dumb himself down more. Same as that bloke with the collars,* they're just pure ITV fodder and they're kinda keeping it real in a way.

Alan Carr - keeping it real. There you go. Didn't think I'd end up with that sentence.

*actually that's a shit example, he was a doctor wasn't he.

I dunno, obviously Carr is gay but a lot of his 'humour' seems to revolve around "I'm GAY, fancy that, haha!" - kind of like Julian Clary but without whatever wit Clary has - and it just seems really reactionary, if that makes sense. I just hate his demeanor and his stupid gerbil face.

Harry Hill, on the other hand, is a god among men. :)

You can't like Harry Hill. Surely not. Really?

Dr Harry Hill is a god among men, so witty, great timing, his art works at Tate Modern were really funny too, guy's a genius. I think TV Burp is pretty much the only thing on ITV that I watch.

Alan Carr - I remember when he first started, and I thought "jezz your whole selling point, and axis of jokes is being gay, and slightly ugly and overweight - not enough - mate you're 15 years late playing the gay card anyhow!!?!?!"

Unfortunately I've been proved wrong, camp gushing inanity maketh a TV career!?!? Guess he's a Freemason.

Harry Hill is definitely greatness, tv Burp is like screenwipe suffering from a psychotic episode, with props.

I was gonna say that I never realised Alan Carr was gay but I guess I'm thinking of.... Jimmy Carr? Who is Alan Carr then?

I love Harry, love the way he isn't blue whatsoever and makes me laugh nearly every show he does.

Today’s gripe: BBC News in the morning, they run the most NOTHING story’s, and for some reason, the presenters are always trying to play devil’s advocate, like seriously, I feel like smashing my fucking telly up for the 2 minutes it’s on while I eat some toast.

Like that fucking one with the glasses that thinks she oozes sex appeal when she doesn’t ATALL, this morning, questioning the fact that at a primary school in Peckham now, all the kids are really enjoying eating their greens with lunch instead of chips, she actually said... ‘so how much does this scheme cost the taxpayer’ (or the parent’s can’t remember which, I was foaming at the mouth with rage) I’m like, do you own a garden? Have you seen how photosynthesis works? Fucking pricks, they do it with everything, I can’t stand the BBC, they piss my license fee up the fucking wall.

like BBC 3, what. the. fuck. I've never seen anything, not 1 programme, of ANY worth on there. The only slightly entertaining one was the 'Holiday with my parent's' or something, where the kid's don't know the parents are watching them the whole time? (They blatently do)

It was worth seeing this (pussyhole) guy who went to a strip joint in ibiza on his last day, was getting a dance when his mum and dad walked over just as this girl had started to lick his nipples etc. Imagine looking your mum and dad in the eye when you have that real teenage stylylyle hard on. That was actually amazing television (for me anyway).

But the rest, I mean fucking hell, shitty family guy, eastenders, they EVEN ran a show 'young butcher of the year' i mean what. the. fuck.

Also, the sitcoms that are meant to appeal to young people are just so out of touch, and not even in the slightest bit amusing. I can't even muster the energy to get annoyed at them now, I just sigh whenever I see an advert for them. They are so out of touch, who the fuck works in the BBC who commisions this shit??

I find all television a bit shit nowdays, it's like settling for something all the time. Unless it's a good science show ('Everything and nothing' was really good on BBC, eatmywords) I'll never think to turn it on, because when you do, it's like, 'oh well, I suppose this is the best thing on, I'll leave it on that' you never sort of get EXACTLY what you want to see, why even bother when you have the interwebz and you can go to the source of your hobby/passion 24/7, 365 days a year.

I got Harry Hill's jokebook for christmas and it's fucking amazing.

Yeah BBC3 is a wasteland. All those shitty sitcoms, jesus christ, I can't even remember the names of any of them but there's tons of them. I think i've seen maybe 2 minutes of each one, while i'm at home in a lonely fug of boredom and weed, and for every second of those two minutes i sat aghast, hand over my mouth to stop the bile i could feel rising in my stomach. Who even watches them?! They all seem to be on late at night as if they're too embarrassed to show them even on BBC3. How do they even get made? Who approves that shit?

Oh yeah and while i'm here and now that i've worked myself up into apoplexy that fucking Miranda can fucking do one as well.
