This evening another visit to fab curry place Nawaab with Miss Noodle. They have
some very cute waiters! Having eaten as much as we could for £10, we decided
we really should walk part of the way home, so we would feel less guilty ;-)
Then we watched some trash American television on the satellite channel 'RealityTV'.
First up was, 'Cheaters', in which sleazy TV people confront a person's partner
who is having an affair. There is secret filming with hidden cameras, a carefully
managed 'confrontation' and sympathy for the victim from the presenter, who shows
the cheatee extensive camcorder footage of their soon-to-be-ex-partner having
illicit sex.
It ends with the presenter trying to take some kind of moral high ground. Apparently
it doesn't occur to them that maybe it's just as immoral to expose all of this
unhappiness on TV and make money from it. However, looking at some of the footage,
I suspect that at least some, if not all, of these incidents are set up with actors.
 Next,
'When Pets Go Wild'. This is one of the funniest programmes I've seen in ages.
I nearly fell off the sofa laughing at the over-dramatic presentation as a man
was bitten in the testicles by a poisonous snake, a presenter was mauled in a
TV studio by a grizzly bear (great idea to take it in there!) and another guy
was sexually-harrassed by an amorous donkey as he took a shit in a field.
I don't have much sympathy for bull-fighters who get gored or rodeo riders who
get trampled. The most disturbing sequence for me was a man in a santa suit who
was attacked by a reindeer. They had recreated this for the programme and seemed
to have caused distress to the reindeer as the man held the poor animal by the
antlers and wrestled with it on the ground. Again, this didn't make either of
us feel overly sympathetic towards 'Santa'...
But I think we may make this a weekly event!
