Oscar time again!

[Rich]

I dare speak for the entire USA, but I'm guessing few people I know actually watched any of it...

another reality show that needs scrapping then

 

[KenHigg]

I don't see much reality in any of it...

So one has to wonder what the point of it all is.

Leave it to Colin and Rich to turn the Oscars, a night of harmless fun, into a diatribe on world hunger. Is there anything to do over there other than piss, moan, and rant about the bloody americans?

They've yet to master the on/off switch on the tele

God aren't you paranoid, I know this may be hard for you to swallow but there were Brits there too

er - excuse me, but Skea decided hunger in Africa was a product of war, not drought. I was merely pointing out that the BBC must have it wrong when they cite drought as the cause.

We even have TV programmes dedicated to it. Any comic / satirist always mentions Americans. As you say, harmless fun. . . . . .

It seems as though it's cool to bash Americans in the UK. Kind of like it's cool for us the bash Republicans or Democrats in the US...

their current leader makes that an easy task

Well, Col, the point is to keep the Americans (aka sheep) believing that celebrity = success, and so they continue the hype. Granted, not very many people watch the show, but some still do, and they will breed and have more little sheep, etc, etc, which perpetuates the wrong values, and hopefully, eventually, there will be a complete population of sheep, which will make it that much easier for the government to control us. Just one of the ways. That's all I can guess. Because even if not many people watch it, there is still the same amount of hype and media coverage every year. Kind of makes you wonder......

Feel free to bash back Ken. We voted in Bliar who's as big a liability as Bush. That puts us on a par with you lot for voting in Boy George. Thank heavens the pair of them are working to make the world a safer place. I dread to think what would happen if they became belligerent.

Well our glorious leader has now told us God said he could invade Iraq, why then do we lock up as cranks those murderers who say God told me to do it?

It's a proper name - it doesn't have to make grammatical sense
