Banal Sewage

Thats what the Australian Family Association calls Big Brother, about to start for another year on Sunday.  To be precise, they call it:

Given the strife BB got into in 2005, it seems we’re in for a slightly toned down version this year.  Still nudity and sex talk, but less in the way of “Cleveland Steamers” and “Dirty Sanchez’s”.

I’m always fascinated by those who complain about the smut or otherwise the content of a TV show.  Simple solution …. don’t watch it.  Doesn’t their TV have an off switch or more than one channel.

BB is really crap, but in a fascinating way.  I like to watch it a couple of nights a week to keep tabs on the housemates, particularly if they’re interesting.  Most aren’t, most are self obsessed famewhores desperate for attention.  Like kids - “look at me, look at me….”.  Hopefully there will be some unpredictable turns in this year’s show.  I think they make the house too much of a holiday house - for a change they should go for squalor, and cramped conditions, with minimal mental stimulation for the housemates.  Really mess with their heads.

We have joked at work about going on BB and just going nude the whole time, and swearing constantly.  This would have the effect of turning the daily PG show into a blur and beep fest.  Also, if you’re going to fuck on the show, don’t try to sneak it in under the sheets, go for it in exaggerated porno movie style right on the lounge room floor.  Make any footage completely unusable.

Speaking of TV, what about this?  Technology that freezes the channel during ad breaks so you can’t channel surf during the ads.  Any TV station that even thinks of using this can just go and get fucked!
