Dumbed down light entertainment
1/3/12

There are fascinating people everywhere so why do TV shows like that programme about native Essex or ‘Come dine with me’and such like avoid these interesting individuals? It seems that in their search for screen fodder there is deliberate sifting and chucking out of any remotely entertaining candidates and committed booking instead of half witted glory hunting want to bes who have nothing to say apart from the obligatory ‘I say wot I fink I do’ appearing half naked shrieking mindlessly and issuing tedious and predictable sexual innuendos (like an excellent carry on film) followed with reflex sniggering and a strange expectation of of some sort of prize
for dim wits …a piece of fruit for example. All this dross is just part of the general dumbing down effect with which light entertainment is afflicted. just because light entertainment should be …light hearted…it doesn't automatically mean that those who are wheeled out onto the public stage to fulfil its purpose should be without ability to articulate an original thought or volunteer an authentic opinion on any real subject…It would be refreshing for a change if the participants in these numbing shows occasionally said something relevant to the viewers. Truth is powerful…
