Turkish toyboys - TV is sinking to new lows

I watched in horror this 'documentary' last night, and for the entire hour just thought to myself how low society is sinking.

Not just for the content of the programme and the actions of its participants, but wondering if programme makers are now making shows that appeal to the lowest common denominator ie the white trash that feature in these types of programmes.

If its not these types of programmes, its something that is getting people naked as often and as much as possible. To me there is not much entertainment value in them, but the producers know that if they are going to make a show about naked women then they are guaranteed an extra 500k viewers from the male 12-16 age group.

The show about 2 old slags heading over to Turkey to get laid as often as possible was sad to watch though. It was real car crash TV. Have these people no respect for themselves that they would feature in a programme like this? And the worst thing was that one brought their 17 year old daughter who seemed to be following after her mothers actions, and the other brought their 12 year old son and left him while she went looking for sex. Why aren't social services checking this slut out?

Sorry for the rant, but TV seems to be dying a very fast death and its sad that there is so much junk on the box.

Re: Turkish toyboys - TV is sinking to new lows

Why tune in in the first place, the show sounds crap, and then why watch for the entire hour thinking it's crap?

Now, when is the programme on you mentioned with the naked women?

So I could rant about it afterwards of course

Check out any Gok Wan prog if you are looking for naked women. I think he is secretly straight and having the time of his life

RMCF was so disgusted by the show he very nearly turned over to another programme instead.

Should've checked out this week's Screenwipe where CB did his usual tear-'em-to-pieces routine. Which they obviously richly deserved, of course.

Regards
