I’m far from being puritanical – and, to paraphrase the late Auberon Waugh, my talent as an interviewer is the fact that I am unshockable.
Well I was rather shocked last Sunday night watching The X Factor, when one of the potential contestants was allowed to appear clad in the most revealing and disgusting outfit, which left little for the imagination.
My objection is that she looked crass, a typically dirty-looking stripper who wiggled her bottom to make you flinch in utter revulsion – and worse still her voice was as bad as her appearance.
The TV regulators should ensure that such ugly displays are not permitted to soil our screens in any future presentations – not only for decency’s sake, but primarily for the sickly vulgarity of the ugliness it conveys.
Surprised you’re even watching that rubbish. By reprinting pic here you are actually party to the same screen soilage. Tut tut.
When I was young if my parents didn’t like a prog they’d pull the lavatory chain. (toilet chain to chavs, lol). TV stations knew they were airing detritus when the national grid for water (or whatever it was called) suddenly had huge usage. Theory being peeps put kettle on for cuppa or went for pee and weren’t glued to the box.
her body stocking matches the walls – could this attempt to blend into the background be a form of modesty in disguise?
You’d be better off watching Inspector Montalbano on BBC4 at that time and enjoying beautiful Sicilian scenery, an engaging tec, fun mystery, good food alfresco – & elegant women.
