Apropos nothing, really, but I saw that thumbnail and thought, “Quentin Tarantino’s really let himself go,” before rubbing my eyes and getting a second take. To your point, there needs to be some better, more public accountability. We have seen that our regulators are uninterested and toothless at best, in cahoots and a client of the government at worst. Sitting MP’s presenting, “news,” and current affairs shows is illegal, yet happening in Britain.
And talent shows may seem like harmless fun and less important than direct government corruption, but they’re really not. The fact is that producers are like rising water levels, constantly rising to increasingly threatening levels unless people keep bailing to stop us all from drowning in exploitation, cruelty and ultimately, tragedy.
The producers of these shows should be monitored by unbiased OFFCOM officials with the power to shut down a production on the spot and refer crimes where they are found. They will find that producers are always breaking the law, blackmailing, victimising, bullying, manipulating and pulling strings that no decent person would touch in, “real,” life.
I rarely, if ever watch, “reality TV.” I prefer the good, honest truth that makes good fiction so compelling.
