Why don't we hear more people like him instead of all this 'X-Factor' rubbish.

I viewed it. Puts over a very simple message very effectively. Never sure whether these things are broadcast by vested interests and are therefore biased.
Charles Dickens published a similar message through Mr Micawber.

Thank you very much for the heads up Wunder. I think we r in some deep poo. The more widely this is understood the better I think. I wont be watching it because serious TV productions make my brain melt and dribble out of my ears, i much prefer radio.
In my view the X factor is drivel but fabulously entertaining drivel. It doesnt make my brian melt and it makes my face go all smiley happy, particularly the contestants judges and studio audience who obviously havent read any Ben Elton books lately.
Im spending an hour posting bollawks on the forums instead. (Not to be confused with Bollocks or Bollox which it isnt either of) A full definition can be found somewhere on the forums provided you have been a member since 2004 and your name rhymes with BenDumson.
Everyone knows the best thing on the Beeb for ages is Family Guy or Top Gear :mrgreen:
Was there an apology in there, WH - for accusing Dawnie of calling your posts 'bollox'?
I saw the doc. and did find it quite scary, although not quite as scary as the Xfactor and the way it perpetuates the idea that the greatest thing you can hope for in life is to become a 'celebrity' and if you are 'lucky' enough (I use the term lucky `cos I don't think talent has anything to do with it), then everything will be 'alright' and you'll be 'made for life'.
In fact next year they should just do away with the whole auditions/singing competition premise and instead have six weeks of people who clearly have mental health issues making fools of themselves followed by six weeks of footage of Simon Cowell's steadily increasing bank balance. Now did anybody see 'special needs pets'? THAT was hilarious.
:shock:

Hehe!
but it actually suited the purpose far better than the other one
