Isn't there anything else going on out there?

Mat, having had a weird day in which he fell asleep multiple times when not supposed to, checks his LJ friends list. Everybody in the UK, it seems, is talking about the same damned thing. I agree with liadnan, where's the news?:

Obnoxious and ignorant woman famous solely for being obnoxious and ignorant on reality tv show is obnoxious and ignorant on reality tv show. This sentence really ought to be followed by "film at 11", not by "international furore and mild diplomatic spat follows", surely. What did anyone expect?

Jade, and family, are stupid, ignorant bigots. I could've told you that just from her damned media profile. Endemol are cashing in and looking forward to the eviction vote with greedy anticipation. No one is actually watching anyway (less viewers than the vegetable show on BBC2 according to Private Eye).

Even the main news blogs are at it. I expected Pickled Politics to cover it, it's sort of their remit, but Doctor Vee and Chris Dillow? No, just please, no.

Seriously, it's dull. Now the Guido/Tim Ireland Blog Brother spat? That's worth watching, handbags at dawn everyone...

It rather blows away that old adage 'ignorance is bliss', perhaps the goody family are bathing in their ignorance inspired bliss. Unfortunately everyone else, even those of us who have never watched a single big brother progamme have to put up with such ignoramuses (ingorami?), and that certinly is not bliss.
Still its easier than contemplating climate change which is truly scary.

That last bit is very true.
