Brotherly Love

Who actually cares about Big Brother any more. It's been going on far too long and I'm sure it gets worse and worse every time. I can not be sure about this because I haven't actually watched it in a few years. I had a girlfriend who absolutely loved it and I made her sign a contract one year that stipulated she didn't watch it or talk about it to me. This didn't happen, so perhaps I should sue her for fundamental breach. I can't get that time back however so I'm not sure how the British legal system would go about remedying the situation.

It somehow manages to take over channel 4 all day with it's various idiotic commentary shows each of which seems to be more pointless than the one before it. Big Brother's Little Brother, Big Brother's big mouth and so on. They also talk about it on every other channel and it even manages to feature on the News, and various daily print publications (many of which are not worthy of the title of newspapers). This is probably why it is so inescapable. You watch dribs and drabs of it whilst round friends houses, and sometimes even watch the last ten minutes when waiting for an actual program to start. It seeps in your head over time and then comes a horrible moment when you catch yourself having an opinion on it.

Celebrity Big Brother has now started. Despite the presence of Coolio and the mini fellow from Austin Powers, I will not be watching it. I will not have an opinion on it and I am prepared to sever ties to any relationship I have with anyone who does.
