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...

I also have missed this entirely until it got to the intarweb. It's yet another one the reasons I specifically do not own my own TV.

Yep, they are pretty much just picking on her because she is genuinely attractive, genuinely nice and has some actual talent.

El oh el.

I have to say I don't think there is any racial motive but their horribly stunted intellects are unable to even comprehend why they dislike her so much.

Even if they did, you can't make much bitchiness out of "You're only famous for successful movies, I'm famous for being queen of the chavs!"

"You're only famous for successful movies, I'm famous for being queen of the chavs!"

Which pretty much sums it up.

Shilpa is likely to come out of this incredibly well, and will now have a career pretty much wherever she wants one. Hopefully, Jad is dead in the water, but I have fears she'll do something to sort it.
