How Low can Reality TV go?

Living With Lucy, is RTE's latest attempt at taking License payers money and flushing it right down the drain...

This week the Talent Vacuum that is Lucy Kennedy is living with, we are told by the trailer for the programme, The 'Sensational' Jade Goody... That's right, RTE are paying someone to write that and to say that word.

We already have on our screens a programme where 'Celebrities' are given the task of managing a GAA team against other 'Celebrity' managed GAA teams... This idea came from a journalist called Fiona Looney and she is sooooo proud of this idea she seems to be all over the programme telling us about it...

Well I'm sorry I do not believe that coming up with an idea for a reality TV show is that impressive... Take this for example. Celebrity Dog Salon, A 'Celebrity' has to go on a training Course on Dog Hairdressing, on completion of this, they have to go to the Dog Pound, find the most dishevelled dog that they can and transform it into a wonderful example of a Groomed Dog, competing against other Celebrity Dog Groomers... There that idea took me at least ten seconds to come up with...

Still not convinced? OK well I'll put a bit more work into the next attempt and I'll even put it into rhyme for you...

How Low Can Reality TV Go?

Hello, everyone my name is Jim

It's a pleasure meeting all of you
And I do hope it's not fleeting,
We hope you all will stick around
And watch Celebrity AA meeting.

That's right 6 Alcoholics,
Who are Celebrities as well,
Would like for you to vote for them
So they can win a rehab spell.
They're going to explain there reasons
Why they're drunker than the rest,
And you'll phone a specific number
To vote for who deserves it best.
So without further ado
Put your hands together please
As now I will be taking you
To meet the celebrities.

My affair with a footballing star.
