Drugs, sex and vomit prompt Californication boycott call | NEWS.com.au Entertainment.
There’s not much to say about this, except that it’s absolute stupidity. I haven’t watched the show myself, the ads don’t exactly draw me in. It’s the same for Big Brother though. I saw the ads, and that was enough for me. Sure, this may be trash, but why do people think they have a right to dictate what others should watch? The ones who are protesting outside channel 10 admit to not even watching the show themselves to have formed an opinion. The only opinion I have of this show is that it looks rather dull based on the advertising and therefore won’t be getting a moment of my time. I am not going to tell others that they shouldn’t watch it though, it’s their business.
On another note, watched Scum the other day with James. Damn good movie about a group of boys in a Borstal in Britain. Was very gripping and moving, probalby one of the most thought provoking films i’ve seen in a long time.
Also watched 4 corners today. It was about teenagers in America who get life, and life there means just that. One boy who got life murdered his mother and step father because he and his brother were repeatedly raped and abused by their step father. Their mother only had this boy as she thought it would change the marriage, and a friend testified that she saw the mother tell the baby she hated him. His brother moved out when he was 18 and asked social services to look after him. They didn’t, and this resulted in the murder. It is of my opinion that this boy was acting in self defence because of the way he had been treated all of these years and no one acted to help him. I do not understand how a justice system can be called as such when it does not deal out justice. It deals an unjust result for an unjust act (that of the treatment of this boys step father).
Ahh.. the wonder of humanity… BFN
