“The Apocalypse” Coming Soon To BBC Three
Monday, February 8th, 2010
For many years us humans have been fearing something that is simply called the Apocalypse. The end of the world. Everyone and everything all made dead at once. It sure will suck when that happens but there are times when I wish it would get a bloody move on when I’m watching the BBC’s sewer pipe known as BBC Three.
I’ll be honest, deep down I enjoy watching BBC Three but it’s usually to make myself feel a bit better about myself whilst taking in scenes of things that I don’t usually get to see. On other channels this would be endangered species or far off “only just discovered” lands. But on BBC Three this tends to be slappers wearing too much make up or pretentious people trying to forge themselves a career in show business but don’t fancy sucking off a TV executive and would rather resort to making an arse of themselves in front of literally thousands of people.
I was watching a show called “Hotter Than My Daughter”, it’s pretty much a show based around a mother and daughter who the Mum thinks that she is hotter than her daughter. Pretty simple. The twist of the show is that they get the public to vote on who they think should be made under (like their other great flagship show “Snog, Marry or Avoid”) to look less like a middle aged Jordan entering a drag queen contest.
On paper, a show like this sounds entertaining but when it gets down to it, it’s quite a scary prospect that people actually felt the need to apply and audition for a show where you more or less have to claim that your daughter is an ugly duckling or that you’re super hot and not at all over the hill, even though the public will inevitably tell you otherwise.
What is the most scary thing about this show is that there were people who didn’t make it onto the show. I didn’t know that people happily think that they are hotter than their daughter and are more than happy to tell them. A few years ago we laughed at mothers trying to be younger and more atractive than their daughters in a show called “Absolutely Fabulous but now it is OK to actually think and act like it.
There is part of me feels bad for making fun of these poor people but fuck them. They put themselves out there on TV in a light that could only be described as an orange coloured spotlight emanating from a lamp on top of a hill made from disgust and disappointment.
It could be worse though, they could be on ITV2
