Once again the papers have been blighted with daily reports from ‘the jungle’. We read about z listers hardly anyone has heard of. But why do we again have to put up with this?
It’s often said that television in Britain is being dumbed down. Reality TV shows are slowly but surely numbing the brains of the masses. And “I’m a celebrity” is the worst offender.
In fact, you could go so far as saying “I’m a celebrity” epitomises everything that is wrong in Britain today.
The masses voting for people they’ve barely heard of while ignoring elections. The desperate burn outs from the wreckage of celebrity trying to reinvent themselves and cling onto the lime light for a little longer.
The show spawned one of the most nauseous, column filling couples on the planet, Peter Andre and Jordan. People so disgusting and malfunction that people are still infatuated with them.
But more so than that, it’s a formula that hasn’t changed of evolved. It’s the village idiots in the stock except in our day and age we don’t even have to expend energy by throwing rotten vegetables. They merely pick up the phone to see them ridiculed and humiliated.
Jordan said today that she would punish us by not stripping. God forbid, we’re being punished enough by having so see it on papers and having it use up space on TV.
