DIY SOS

Is it just me or do a lot of the people applying for help from DIY SOS look like they want to be compensated for their own stupidity and/or fecklessness?

There are some deserving cases, for example when a relationship failed leaving a single parent with children to care for and a house in a mess, but so often it seems my license fee is rewarding people for being bl**dy silly....

let's face it, the programme is aimed at parading and humiliating f*****ts on tv. The odd deserving case is added to pretend it's a caring programme. I ceased watching it when those women who take sledgehammers to walls started to appear, and the bloke who removed and burnt all his internal doors. It should have been a documentary about mental illness.

The message from EricP contains these words:

That's what telly's for. Or at least, so it appears these days.

Rich tossers get a show to themselves on Punt My Shed. I doubt many will be watch tonight's messypode as Matrix III is on at the same time.

I would have thought that makeover shows (and all these casino programmes) were ideally suited to digital bellyfusion where couch potatoes of the Clan Loser variety can interact.

Is there a particular reason that the quizzes that you have to phone into at 50p a minute, have such stupid questions? (Yes, I know that they want callers not genii.)

It's basically a raffle at a quid a ticket, but the have to make it a question/answer so they don't fall foul of the lottery laws.

It's not a lottery because skill is involved ... allegedly.

There is no skill if the winning loser is chosen. Why is the method secret?

Yet another parade of f*****ts. This one up the wall and across the ceiling, guns a blazing.
