Just because it doesn't fit into your fascistic interpretation of "entertainment" doesn't mean it's not worthwhile. I love that I can moderate this comment into existence. James,

Some of us enjoy watching caged animals being prodded with sticks. Just because it doesn’t fit into your fascistic interpretation of “entertainment” doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile. I love that I can moderate this comment into existence.

Much more depressing are some of the things Channel 4 has to offer after the watershed: the creators of 'Supersize v.

Though there are possibly worse ways to pass the time, watching this programme is, in essence, equivalent to watching caged animals being prodded with sticks.
