Catallarchy has a small piece on the latest "American idol" programme.
Another that falls into my category of "cringe tv".
Cringe tv?
Yeah, the kind of "product" that requires a "rather them than me" response in order to be called "entertainment". I guess that we could blame the likes of Candid Camera, or the Japanese for things like the log riding sports, and the Best Home Video programmes for the decline.
That is before we get into the so-called "reality programmes". When we were in Vanuatu last year we went to the site of the "Survivor - Vanuatu" programme. How they managed to keep the resort just down the beach out of camera shot is a mystery...
The truth is that the vast bulk of the population it seems will swallow anything that is dealt to them in the name of entertainment.
That perhap carries another truth?
