I know it's an EF thing, but it's required here too. I've got so much to throw in . . . Dante's Bottom or something?

I'd like to put Room 101 into Room 101.

The TV show has to be one of the most smug, jaded, complacent and half-hearted efforts ever to hit the screen. The idiotic and predictable reasons people have for putting the same old shit into "Room 101" bugs my funkies.

On a postive note, I don't think anyone would object to you starting a 'Room 101' thread, Yagan. On a slightly more sour note, I won't be contributing to your thread.

Actually, maybe that's another positive note. :(

Quiet you.

I'm sure that was my joke when we did this on the old site.

You'll be hearing from my lawyers.

Room 101 was just smug celebrities complaining about the minutiae of everyday life, like any of them knew a thing about it. It’s just a vehicle for their shit observational "humour". "Ooh, I hate traffic wardens". Well, don't park illegally and it won't be an issue, you twat. Anyway, thanks to Rich Lists, I know how much money you have, and you can afford the odd parking fine. Shut the f*ck up.

Won't stop me posting my own personal Room 101 in the other thread, though.

My personal Room 101 is the way that Orwell's original dark vision of a totalitarian society of CCTV, controlling government embracing propaganda while lying to their people about wars all the while beggaring them to pay for their own rich lives has ironically been twisted by our society since about...ooo...1984 or so. His two main concepts have been made into tv circuses to let us proles forget our real, massive objections to our systematically being taken for a ride by our unelected emperors who hoard our bread. It's a question of time before we get a game show called 'DO IT TO JULIA!'. Probably hosted by Dale Winton. 'So, John, your own CCTV set is at stake, but you must endure the poker treatment or will we....DO IT TO JULIA...???'

But as I like that irony, I'm all for a Room 101 thread. And first to go in is modern society. Hope does not, and never did, lie with the proles.

Close.

In weak moments I allow myself to be irritated when Orwell's image -- a room where a victim is tortured to psychological prolapse by exposure to their deepest subconcious terror -- is taken to mean a place where slappy newspaper columnists banish men who wear sandals without socks. Then I remember I'm not doing Higher English any more, so should probably just get on with my life.

Off the top of my head...

Masterchef - stop taking it so bloody seriously, it's just cooking.
Top Gear - like watching three ex public schoolboys playing the Biscuit Game. While the planet burns.
Football - it's the greatest game in the world, but it's lost its soul.

But they can Change. Their. Lives!

Ok, it's a bit over the top and tends to categorise all the contestants into nice easy to analyse problems, but it still miles ahead of a lot of other entertainment shows. And lots of good recipies to mess around with.

Just the mere thought of the baldy guy saying "This. Is. Tough!" for the umpteenth time is enough to annoy me.
