I hate X-Factor, despite not watching it.

I hope an army of social workers are as I type smashing down the door of the fourteen year old who flashed her boobs, thats a disgrace!! Hope her mum and dad are being shot! They should make it their business to know where she is and what she's upto even if she don't like it! Behaviour of a stupid stupid girl!! one that may end up in real trouble if she continues flashing at blokes or older lads!
People that are forced to watch it, but don't like it (and there are A LOT) of those are voting for the novelty act for a laugh and also to annoy Cowell.
What makes me laugh is its probably exactly what Cowell wants, all the publicity extra cash from the voting and higher audiences as people tune in to see what the fuss is about.
I don't mind there being c**p on't telly when I'm out and about (staying in watching telly on a Saturday - no chance!) but they've got these spin-off shows that clog up more hours than the f*****g soap opera's (watched by the unemployed, thick women & camp men) combined.
Even't freebie Metro paper on't way't work is full of stories about them

I heard that Alexandra destroy that Hallelujah song last christmas, and now her & that trampy Geordie judge (married to the little Chelsea rent boy) are on top of the charts?
I'm in my 20's and feel old complaining about it!

Troll and proud of it.
No, but I don't buy Bob Dylan's records either. Really, if we're limiting the music industry only to people who's albums I buy, we're looking at a very small (though obviously brilliant) music industry.BWFC_Insane wrote:Would you buy a record of any of them?Tombwfc wrote:Leona Lewis, Alexandra, JLS, Will Young, Girls Aloud.BWFC_Insane wrote:Exactly. The whole thing has no credibility.

Nothing good will ever come out of it.
Alright, none of them are John Lennon or whatever. But for a bit of Saturday night light-entertainment, it's got a fairly good record of churning out popular artists.
I don't see the problem with it really. It's clearly massive, and if it keeps me from hearing about Katie Price on an hourly basis, good luck to it.
They are all essentially shit.
And Saturday Night entertainment is fine, using it to promote rubbish as though they are finding "hidden gems" is getting a bit annoying.
Proper artists develop their craft over time by playing gigs and recording, not by going on telly for a few weeks in a karaoke contest.
Like I say, it's a harmless tv show. Nearly a quarter of the country watches it, they enjoy it. Few kids get to experience being famous, they enjoy it. The odd couple go on to have succesful careers, they enjoy it. Those who don't like it have a million and one other options as opposed to watching it.
Who's losing out?

Tom as a piece of entertainment on a Saturday night its fine. My point was it don't matter who wins as everyone in it is shit.e anyways and at best a world class karaoke artist. So the twins may as well win. Least it'll be a laugh as opposed to Cowell pretending he IS THE MUSIC industry.Tombwfc wrote:No, but I don't buy Bob Dylan's records either.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Television here is also infested with the sort of programmes of which you all type. I don't bother watching them but many do. They don't complain about me watching motor racing, cricket or (to me) interesting documentaries so why should I complain about them?
For those of you with an apparent requirement to view something you don't particularly like, have you ever heard of a library and the phrase 'to curl up in a chair with a good book'?

All well and good but the problems arise when your other half insists on watching every sodding minute of it.
We've got two Sky boxes (one in bedroom) so Mrs Zulu thinks that it perfectly acceptable for me to retire, muttering under my breath, to watch "my rubbish" in the bedroom whilst she and my son sit in home theatre surround-sound luxury following the progress of those manky twins and the other no-marks.
I have already decided that I am going to kill her - just not chosen the method yet.

I do, it's good to read about murder when she's got Hollyoaks on (fit women, but too annoying a programme to watch).Dujon wrote:Television here is also infested with the sort of programmes of which you all type.

I saw X-Factor once years ago, and I'd never put myself through that again. As for that dancing tosh - never seen it and never will.
I was at a BBQ in the summer, we had the big screen out and watched the FA cup final while getting sloshed........then, some anal passage decides to put the Britain's Got Talent final on. I saw some fat blokes doing some terrible topless dancing & then reailsed that 20m people tuning into that c**p wouldn't be missed if they were thrown in the sea.
Pah!

Me and mine went out for a meal with my old man and his new missus on Saturday – had a fantastic feed, beers and wine were flowing, having a good old laugh and carry on when suddenly the two flatdicks scream “OMG, x factor starts in 10 minutes!!!!”as wrote:I do, it's good to read about murder when she's got Hollyoaks on (fit women, but too annoying a programme to watch).Dujon wrote:Television here is also infested with the sort of programmes of which you all type.

Never paid the bill and been back in the car so fast in my life – then insult to injury, we were invited in to enjoy the show at theirs! FFS so I had to sit and endure the shite as well!!! Nightmare.

Driving around the winding country lanes of Northamptonshire and Leicestershire this morning in fairly thick fog. I am amazed by the number of nice people using sidelights and blissfully assuming that people can see them. Do they think they are saving electricity or something?
They should all die horribly, thus sparing all us law abiding dipped headlight users!

Got stuck behind Mr. and Mrs. Fat and their lovely daughter Obesia in Asda yesterday. Ambling down the aisle at approx .00001 MPH. Stopping at the cheese bit they had a dimwitted conversation on wether they wanted cheese at all and if they did, which one. Despite me saying "excuse me!" several times, the Fats and Obesia decided to ignore me. In the end I had to push through several yards of upper end BMI to get me stilton.
I hate people like that with a vengeance.
To top it all when I got to the till, the asian couple on front of me, after paying for their stuff and packing it, decided to stay put, blocking the aisle. They then began taking all their shopping out of their bags and started examining it! FFS didn't you look at what you were buying when you took it off the shelves you thick c*nts.
fecking feck* fecking about.
