Oh Brother

Ha, ha, ha; Julie Burchill really is a dick. Apparently, thinking Big Brother is a load of crap means you are a culturally constipated snob who hates the human race in general and the working class specifically. Presumably, she gets paid to write this? What crap.

And what is it with this “seat–sniffer” thing in every damn thing old Julie writes these days? Sniff my seat, lady. In fact, thinking about it, I swear there’s like a computer they’ve programmed to write this shit automatically and Julie is like sat on some tropical island somewhere laughing her ass off. Middle class, mediocre life it may be, but I’ve got better things to do than watch Big Brother and I’m certainly not going to apologise for being middle class — if that’s what I am — besides which, since when was being an author and journalist like Julie Burchill “working class” anyway? Oh well — toodle pip — those seats aren’t gonna to sniff themselves, and all that.



Comments:
Looks like a thinly-veiled plug for her new TV series to me which, like her print-media drivel, I shall ignore in the same way that I do Big Brother. In fact, her flatulent scribblings "challenge" me in the same way that Big brother does - you are tempted to watch it/read it in order to wind yourself up, in the full knowledge that you will hate yourself afterwards for validating its/her very existence. This is the aspect of human nature that drives people to read the Daily Mail. I'm not so sure about "seat sniffing" though - I always thought it was more correctly called "snurging" - but in any event, an aversion to Big Brother is not, in my not-so-humble opinion, the necessary concomitant of seat-sniffing. Big Brother was, for one series, an engaging curiosity, but it has since cannibalised itself. The contestants now know the score and blithely give the audience what it sat waiting for throughout the whole of the first series - nudity and sex. It has therefore lost the major selling point it once had - the sense of true voyeurism. I understand that Dwayne still enjoyed looking at some Irish bird's tits though. Hughesy.
