Had a chat with one of the producers of Capital TV the other evening.
Told him his staff were very polite but his programming is mind numbing drivel and frankly I thought he was doing a disservice to his nation by airing that waste. He completely agreed with me but also pointed out that it was popular with the masses, every other channel was also as bad if not worse, and its making him a tidy fortune.
Same with the Pizza Company guy, he knows what he peddles appears to be pizza, but actually is shitty frozen junk food, but hey who gives a fuck, he just bought himself another private jet.
The majority of the available viewing is much the same, we'd be better off without it, besides with the internet we now have increasing control over what we choose to view whenever we want without switching on the evil box.
“television, the drug of the nation”
