'He was a lonely ghost uttering a truth that nobody would ever hear. But so long as he uttered it, in some obscure way the continuity was not broken. It was not by making yourself heard but by staying sane that you carried on the human heritage.'

I've got an idea, let's destroy people's relationships!

I can see the boardroom now, writers and producers sitting around pitching new TV shows to shadowy marketing types....

"I've got an idea, lets create a game show where we put contestants through a lie detector test! We'll drag out their deepest darkest secrets, put them in front of an audience and force them to confess! If they don't they'll miss out on winning a wad of cash. It'll be like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey, they'll have to humiliate themselves and their loved ones to win!"

Amazingly enough, that's exactly what we're about to see on our TVs with Channel Nine's Moment of Truth.

Fantastic, let's turn people against each other shall we? Let's destroy relationships for the sake of it, the FUN of it! What sort of soulless person would think this up let alone become a contestant? Will the money be worth it when your wife finds out you're a sexual deviant? Is money more important than a bit of fucking self respect?

Is this all they can come up with?



Another day, another distraction. Well at least it's not Gladiators.....
.....hold on wait a second, you're kidding right? They're not bringing that back!

"Suckers of Satan's cock, every last one of them."
