That’s it I have had enough!  I just can’t watch another so called celebrity show!  Be it ice skating, singing, dancing, wrestling, cooking or whatever.  I mean fair enough if the actually managed to get a Celebrity on the show but its usually made up of failed pop stars and soap actors trying to kick-start a career off the back of the show.

The shameful disaster that was this years Celebrity Big Brother only goes to show how far this reality/celebrity show has gone – too far!  Aside from the alleged Racism endured in the house by Shilpa Shetty, we were subjected to the real dregs of the celebrity barrel, Jade Goody and her family, a member of the Jackson 5, Former S club singer Jo, the Face man from the A-team, Leo Sawyer, ‘H’ from Steps and Clio - who shares her name with Renault car.

Now just a bunch of washed up jobbers ...

Jade Goody on television
Who are these people?  They were all in the celebrity bracket once upon a time, but not now just a bunch of washed up jobbers who signed away their dignity when the agreed to go in the house.

I want real entertainment back.  Remember all those great shows where you used to have real singers, dancers and comedians?  They used to call it a variety show and it was quite often compered by Jimmy Tarbuck or the like.  Now every show has a panel of “expert” judges, a TV audience phone vote and then the heavily hyped up voting off part of the show!  They are all the same!!!  AAARRGGHHH!

In short I’m fed up of watching this tripe as it seems to have invaded every channel and every show.  I don’t suppose it will stop, so here’s my suggestion it’s called Celebrity Island.  We take every celebrity who has appeared on these types of shows and dump them on an island in the middle of nowhere – and leave them there!

If I was a god with remarkable powers, I would, without doubt, kill all soap shows. They are made by morons, starred by ignorant and stupid celebrities, but most of all they are watched by millions of people who have nothing better to do.

I make a point of not watching these type of programmes, because I know that watching pant dry is more fun.

Sick and very tired of the so called celebrity Judges that know nothing about music on the CHEESE FACTOR, Judging mostly talentless dorks,why can't there be a show for real singer songwriters and musicians with real professional judges that don't keep filling the chart with tallentless cheesy crap,stopping real tallent getting through just for money, why dos'nt simon cowell and the other 3 untallented morons go and find a chav pub if they want to listen to karioke crap there are plenty of them now.So called Celebritys have taken over all the shows that the public used to be able to take part in and there being paid to better there so called celebrity status, we pay a licence fee to watch this crap,I know there are many people who feel the same way I do. how much longer have we got to put up with all these celebrity shows, they seem to think they are royalty these days and most of them have know talent what so ever,please please someone help get rid of this rubbish. I agree with you CHOIZO N'CHIPS I also think it is a government tool to control us.Gordon brown was saying how much he likes the x factor the other day,I think there is a song called Gordon is a moron it must have been written for him.

You are watching this crap because you have been conditioned by the government.
TV is a government tool, just as the newspapers are.

We are no more informed than people were in the middle ages, because, kept in ignorance
they keep feeding us rubbish
Who would do the bad jobs if everybody went to university ?

That's why schools are also run by the government, everything is.
Keeping us in place making lots of money for them to squander !
It's control, control all the time !

So that's where my quick gripe ended up!
Tried to post it ages ago, had almost forgotten about it!

It drives me mad when a winner or loser on a tv show is going to be announced & they say "and the winner/loser is...." & then pause for long enough for us to have a coffee, go to the supermarket & take the dog for a walk & arrive back just in time to hear the name. For goodness' sake if you're going to say it, SAY IT!

I have an idea for a perfect new celebrity gameshow "Celebrity Safari" - its where ordinary members of the public(NON-celebrities) get the chance to hunt down and kill(with BIG guns) all those bloody celebrities that have been driving us nurs for the last couple of years .....YEAHHH !!! What a superb release for all those of us who are shedding tears of blood every time a new bunch of 'CELEBRITIES'(sob) arrive on our screens to collect their vast cheques for depriving all those excellent actors and performers currently looking for 'real' entertainment work. "CELEBRITY SAFARI" rules
