I'm glad to see that Reality TV is also part of the British experience.
You too can experience the degradation of Western Civ 101 that probably
began in the US in much the same way the Black Death allegedly began in
China around 1344, several years before it slam-dunked Europe. We need
our own Boccaccio to write a series of bawdy tales about people who
retreat to a country estate and watch reality TV. A guy whose biggest
distinction is that he farts a lot? Be still, my foolish heart. My ex
used to know a guy who could throw up at will. Maybe this is the same
guy grown a couple of decades older and showing he's capable, old dog
though he might be, of learning new tricks.
Brigitte Nielson? As opposed to the opera singer. Married to Sylvester
Stallone for a few hours, and in one of the Rocky movies as Dolph
Lundgren's wife? God save us. I can ask the same question of her that
David Frost supposedly asked Zsa-Zsa Gabor on Johnny Carson's show years
ago: "Madame, what is it exactly that you DO?"
Germaine Greer I would say is the funniest one but that's not really
funny. Okay, she claims she's doing it for a charity, but I hope she's
not slinging BS and the charity is really Germaine Greer. Years ago,
the funniest thing she ever did was take a visiting professorship at the
University of Tulsa. I'm trying still to picture her sharing the same
city with Oral Roberts. It's mindboggling.
