So glad I longer pay for a TV licence. Would “She’s into group”, or “Get me some fanny!” be acceptable dialogue on the heterosexual version?
Is society pushing me towards becoming a Victor Meldrew, or is it a natural consequence of being older and not subject to external factors? Questions to ponder.
Its not just the victor meldrews of the world that are noticing the hacks at the BBC are doing what hacks do best. Producing cheap, shock value, jerry springer esque garbage in “progressive” LGBTQABCD+ wrapping paper in an attempt to pass it off as original and interesting.
Or maybe im a victor meldrew too

Society. The world has coarsened. No more subtlety. Each transgression is normalised, creating an arms-race to shock.

Public service broadcasting at its best, and a fine use of the license fee.
Exactly. Don’t bother to over-think it. The BBC is an aggressive evangelical for what it calls Diversity. It is actually Identitarianism, a State-backed ideology which blankets every editorial note of its output 24/7. Protected/privileged Nine good; Patriarchy and white History bad. An Equality obsession to rival a Communist state. Its is now poisonous. It should lose its Charter and be disgraced for overtly generating fear and popular hysteria during Lockdown and again for its warped nonstop Climate Hysteria (handy to profit from via Natural History programming too) even if most schoolchildren are suffering from anxiety from its ranting. . Beyond unfit, the BBC is now a social toxin and danger. Boycott it.

An easy way to bypass these problems, as the producers of I Kissed A Boy, which concluded on Sunday, evidently saw, is to populate the island exclusively with gay men.
A far more entertaining way would be to introduce an unknown number of trans people, both pre- and post-op, and record the ensuing mayhem.
Meanwhile, a more exclusively niche audience is being catered for with a re-imagining of One Man and his Dog.
Cats and pigeons come to mind. Feathers everywhere.

The show was defeated from its first moment by the simple knowledge that in real life vast numbers of gay men do not bother to ask the first name of the person they have just had sex with until after. It was therefore just a camp, flappy-handed simulation of the straight version.
The lesbian version should be much more interesting; absolutely anything could happen.
Not sure how many actual lesbians would volunteer. Plenty of the male variety and their ladyd*cks would though!!

“posing in feather-bowers and chapless pants.” Feather-bowers? Shurely shome mishtake? Boas if you please as in the serpent… and “chapless”? Just chaps.

“straight people have been forced to do this kind of humiliating stuff on television for years”
“Forced” how? Don’t participants in “reality” television actively seek out opportunities to be on the programs?

I really don’t know how they pass the time in Oxford, but when the author says,
“Unless you took the sensible precaution of disconnecting your television in anticipation, you might have noticed that Love Island returned to ITV2 last week. ”
I am force to question what planet he lives on.

It’s like the fall of the Roman Empire. I nearly cancelled our Tesco order because it’s covered in Pride flags.

Haven’t watched television in years. Articles like this rather reinforce that decision. How could a program like Love Island or its gay equivalent possibly be entertaining or a worthwhile use of my time?

It won’t be long before this audience will be drinking Brawndo and watching “Ow my b*lls” while ‘batin’.
Good shot. The cultural norm was already too close to Idiocracy for comfort in 2006. This lurid drivel sounds like it could be called “Ooh, more balls!”–or left unaired after pangs of relenting shame.

Lucky them , they’ll have one another with whom to make connections . Surely they would not be so bigotted as to insist on ciswomen partners .
