Johnson's Journal #11 - BBC vs. America's Got bullshit

I've always appreciated british television - from "Monty Python" to "Fawlty Towers" to "Benny Hill" to "The office" there's been the lure of not only how the other half live (and what do they find funny) but to see how fresh and open their take on things are.

Lately, mostly because of my hard-on for netflix & hulu plus (after tiring of the ass raping cable so generously offers without lube) I've been watching alot of the BBC shows.

While we are watching shit like "So you think you can glee at american's who've got the xfactor voice" - the BBC offer up shows of quality like "Luthor", "Misfits", "MI5" & "Skins". The last of which couldnt even be shown here in syndication bcuz we couldnt get our panties out of our asses. "Skins" was deemed to controversial & parents complained enough to Mtv (a station that at one time had balls) so they pulled it - because we can't have teens watching teens fuck & do drugs - they might start.

We have this bury our heads in the sand approach to what we watch that really hinders the possiblity for a show to be great.

Watching the BBC is like watching mini movies - with swearing & nudity & unpredicable outcomes that stays with you long after the the tune glee just reproduced & butchered fades away.

But who's fault is it - the money grubbing douche bags that put the shit out -- or the mindless idiots that support these- "where are they now, use to be famous, wannabe famous, hey lets play already hits songs on a show with pretty kids - that suppose to be about average kids and piss in the ear of any dickheads that've given up thinking for themselves" bullshit they call entertainment.

BOTH!

Check out the shows I mentioned & judge for yourself - unless youre a watcher of those jackass shows - then just sit and wait for your next spoonfull of shit.

Peace
