Another day, another round of moral outrage caused by the American press. Apparently it's perfectly fine for camera footage of a dying ex-member of the British Royal Family to be broadcast at primetime across the nation but as soon as Janet Jackson pops a boob out during the half-time show at the Superbowl our US cousins are screaming about poor taste and TV comapnies are running for cover like startled rabbits.
Odd really, I suppose it paves the way for a new round of reality TV shows and therefore look forward to such broadcast masterpieces as "Celebrity Autopsy", "Colons of the Rich and Famous" and "Ass lift for two".
The other thing that strikes me about the whole affair is the hypocrisy of the British public. Reading the BBC website today reveals a slew of complaints from BBC viewers all whining about invasion of privacy and how the press shouldnlt be allowed to intrude in people's private lives.
I have a question for those people - ever read one of those tragically dull weekly magazines which are full of "showbiz goss" and pictures of Helena Bonham-Carter doing the shopping at Sainsburys? You have ??!! Congratulations! You are supporting the very thing you spend so much time complaining about so either save your money or shut the fuck up.
