CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I normally watch X Factor with the girlfriend, her brother, his wife and their baby. That's cool, I watch it with the cook, the thief, his wife and her lover. I am of course kidding, I don't watch X Factor since it's incredibly shit and superficial, formulaic and I actually think it makes people dumber and is contributing to the downfall of society. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Okay, that may be a bit over the top, but when people care more about the actions of Louis Walsh and who he did and didn't put through to the next round (I really hate that guy, talentless bellend) than the serious issues our world is facing today, I do fear for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 People have always preferred to not think about difficult shit - hence UKIP voters blame immigrants for society's ills and ignore the massive **** catastrophe that is climate change.

Ginko Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I can understand wanting to switch off and I probably utilise escapism just as much if not more than the normal person, but the X Factor is just absolute dogshit. I've never heard so many **** pointless key changes to evoke joy in my entire life. This season I've noticed they've been using Hans Zimmer a lot too which is unforgivable.

The downfall of society? Dumb people will stay dumb whether they watch dumb shows or not. It doesn't mean the rest of us are getting dumber by occasionally watching a bit of trash. Let me guess, you only ever watch the news, documentaries and dramas on BBC4, because everything else is too superficial and formulaic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 You don't have to watch highbrow nonsense to know that xfactor is a turgid puddle of semen gloop 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I used to watch X factor, but don't anymore. I would prefer that over the likes of towie though. At least on X factor they have some talent, those others make 'celebrities' (term used loosely) out of talentless morons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did go back and say I was being over the top -- and quite on purpose -- but I do genuinely find it a bit sad that shows like The X Factor are as popular as they are. TOWIE and that kind of crap are worse though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob182 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Fair enough. I replied before I saw you take it back. I don't find it sad, because I take it for what it is; a throw-away 'show' that neither excites me nor annoys me. It's as pointless and frustrating as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to me. If I was to let any of that annoy me, I'd go crazy Live and let live, I say. Like what you like and don't apologise for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Yeah it's in the same bracket (sorry Donnie) as Facebook for me, I use Twitter a bit more reservedly and enjoy it a lot more that way. But you're right in letting people do and watch whatever they want, of course. I'm not a despot... yet. Edited October 12, 2014 by Ginko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Does anybody watch Gommorah?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donnie Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Does anybody watch Gommorah?? Yeah I do. Absolutely mindblowing TV. On par with shows like Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire and Games of thrones although needs another season or two before being on the same level as The Wire and The Sopranos. Preferred fat, pathetic Genny to the new bad ass Genny. Just wish there was someone to cheer for! Edited October 12, 2014 by donnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Does anybody watch Gommorah?? Yeah I do. Absolutely mindblowing TV. I've waited for years for something to match the wire and Soprano's. Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire and Games of thrones have come close. Gommorah beats all of those although as it's only one season in. Just wish there was someone to cheer for! Glad I'm not the only one that feels this Love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
