So right, yeah, this whole Economy thing. What the hell is going on there? I don't know about your news stations but as soon as the big money-throwing idiots told us that the "Credit Crunch" is already underway, previously-good news programs turned into some kind of elaborate definition for the word "Retarded". Good old media. The first time I saw it on the news they were all like "DON'T BUY STUFF OR WE'LL ALL DIE" and then I flip over to the other channel and they're all like "BUY STUFF OR WE ALL DIE" and then good old GMTV can't decide where they sit. One day it's like "Oh my GOD you RETARDS it's BLATANTLY FUCKING OBVIOUS STOP BUYING THINGS" and then another time it's "Oh my GOD you RETARDS it's BLATANTLY FUCKING OBVIOUS BUY EVERYTHING YOU SEE". Damn. This was a brain vent.
Are you a critic? You are? Then shut up. JESUS CHRIST. Basically, film and art critics are people who are incapable of realising that people are perfectly capable of forming their own opinion. Game critics? Not so much, as if a game is blaringly obviously crap then usually people's opinions are unanimous. But seriously. "Oh yeah so I saw WALL-E the other day. Holy shit. Like, -5 stars out of 5. I hate childrens films." WHY DID YOU GO AND SEE IT THEN. Freedom of speech is a wonderful thing but when you start using it to shove your opinion down people's throats then I think it should be confiscated and locked in the draw until break time. Oh yeah, and a letter home.
So, going back to the GMTV theory. This is a classic example of daytime TV; it talks about the stuff that nobody else dares talk about because it's too boring. But they can get away with it because 99% of the people watching TV during the day just LOVE watching daytime TV. The other 1% of us are bored out of our freaking minds because the channels reserve all the good stuff for like 9pm onwards. I hate the watershed. If I ruled the world, then I would make sure that EPIC THINGS were produced and screened during the day, as well as the night. Oh, you liked Loose Women? Well, um, sorry.
If you have an opinion on either of the three topics I have sworn about here, then feel free to throw them into the fray.
