Chips with everything?
I don't have a car licence or a credit card ~ just two ATM cards, one of which is for an empty account. So, I for one don't need an implant and can't be automatically debited or otherwise be kept under constant surveillance. I have no wish to be like Tom Cruise in the Minority Report. So,
are these guys crazy?
Perhaps they live in a different reality to me. Perhaps? Of course they do. They're rich, yet still want to be noticed.
Given how the
media destroys politicians and celebrities, who are the schmucks who readily 'perform' for the cameras? Didn't they get to 'show and tell' in kindergarden?
Reality shows are demeaning,
particularly to women who often have to put up with
derogatory remarks, so why do I watch and discuss some of them?
There's a whole world of
surreality out there.
So-called quality newspapers in the UK have
archives of articles and, naturally, there are
websites devoted to the genre.
It was good to see the feminine side of
The Next Joe Millionaire and to watch him cry because he couldn't stand the stress of having to make a choice between two aspirants for his supposed fortune and hunk of a body. For those of you who are pissed off that TV7 didn't finish off the series this week and can't wait for the culmination on Monday, there's a 10 page summary of the last episode
here. And if you're gasping for every, and I do mean every, detail of all 6 episodes, but 12 in Indonesia as they have to fit the show round the ads, then check
here.
What surprises me is that the writer is, like me, not a fan of this show. So why do we watch it? I'm going to keep asking that question 'til I know the answer. There but for (lack of) fortune? Or a wonderful physique?
