Life canceled due to boredom

So it’s this time of the year again when young and not that young British people get locked up in a house and all of it will be televised on a show called Big Brother.

Before we arrived in England, we watched the German version of Big Brother. In Germany they had a little different approach to the whole thing. They built a complete village and put the candidates in there with the prospect of staying for an unlimited amount of time. The villagers then had to work for their food and special treats for parties after work-time. So basically it was trying to actually imitate life and televise it.

It took the audience a whole year before it got bored of watching duplicates of themselves mirrored on their television sets. The show got canceled, the village was torn down and the ex-villagers were released into cheap record-studios to produce extraordinarily bad Euro-Trash pop in German. Which is even worse than German HipHop. Fun all around.

Moving over to England and we were greeted by a woman called Jade Goody bullying some actress with one of the members of S-Club 7. And was a Jackson involved in it as well? Can’t quite remember anymore. So before you complain about Big Brother, be grateful those house mates are busy being booed into the house, after all they could be recording German Techno-Gabba HipHop instead.

Oh, by the way, look! A comic-strip:
