"the littlest groom"

[Angry Young Man]

I was watching a new comedyshow on Channel 4 with people talking about what they love and hate on TV. The guest, Alan Davies, mentioned this program called "The Littlest Groom". Basically, when everyone was saying Reality TV couldnt getany worse, they come up withthis drivel which makes the excuse that it's "bringing awareness", whereas it's deepdown made for people to gawp and laugh at someonebecause they are vertically challenged.
Does anyone actually WATCH this dross? If anyone says yes, for shame *looks down and shakes head*

It's simple neo-liberalism, it raises awareness, but at the same time is exploiting it to make money for the TV network. I watched that C4 program also, and I would guess (only a guess) that the participants in 'The Littlest Groom' would not have appeared unless it were for the cash incentives. It's a TV network bribing away people's diginity.

i agree with that, the way it exploits is what many people don't seem to realise.

I know. I'm watching some show and then it stops and they slap an advertisement on my eyeballs!

No I haven't seen this. Then again I dont really watch tv that much anymore because its just gone downhill with all of these reality and dating shows.
