First of all if you are living Stateside you probably haven't heard of these two insignificant fucking wankbags.

There is widespread flooding in Ireland, people have been evacuated, there are landslides, rivers have burst their banks, insurance claims are going to go through the roof, the Taoiseach is visiting the areas.

And what's the front page of The Star, Mirror & Sun. Fucking the two talentless wanks (already being hailed as the new Ant & Dec, as if we need another set of those fuckpigs) who are JEDWARD get voted off the abomination that is the X Factor, which happens to be on three bastard channels on the TV all fucking weekend. Watch it on Saturday evening, watch reaction to it later on Saturday night, then you can watch the repeat on a Sunday morning, then the fucking "sing off" or whatever pish it's called on Sunday evening, then of course the reaction on a Sunday night.

Seriously I would not stop kicking Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh with hobnailed boots until my feet bled for encouraging these wastes of skin.

Reality TV is killing decent programming and the fuckwitted populous is lapping it up. When was the last time you seen a decent (and I mean decent, not something that just seemed decent compared to the shite were being spoon fed) Documentary or Drama.

That's tabloids for you. You'd think the floods being more important than Jedward! I'm actually a bit upset and embarrassed that I even know about them, but they're all over British media, which I follow a bit, so you can't avoid them.

As for drama, the last interesting one I saw on Finnish tv was an ITV production called My Boy Jack, about Rudyard Kipling and his son, who was killed in the WWI. David Haig played the father and Daniel Radcliffe the son.

Just watched an excellent documentary on Concorde on Channel 4 commissioned by them and The Discovery Channel, which means they are still making good programmes, so why in the name of Jaysus H. Christ on a Fucking Bike do they follow it with the utter shit that is Big Brother, it's a crappy idea that was loosely based on a social experiment that was then used for entertainment purposes which has now become so fucking stale. seriously why do people have to milk shit to death. It was shit to start with it's mutton dressed as lizard.

Sadly I have heard of Jedward. But I cannot believe they are still in the news. They were so horrifically bad (I had to watch a clip just to see what the fuss was about) that I presumed their 15 minutes were up ages ago.

Sorry to hear you're still suffering.

And yes, sadly, tabloids aren't really known for having their priorities straight.

Yup, One of the twats was leaping about on some stage recently, fell, hurt himself and had to be taken to hospital (it's nothing trivial I hope) but of course this is all "news" also this letter in today's paper (I really need to stop reading that rag but they give them away free in the pub). they are a pair of talentless non entities. Who originally only appealled to kids unfortunately the line between kids and adults has become burred in modern society.

Nikki get your arse over to Dublin and sort out some proper reporting for us!!

Ha ha that letter is great. Maybe they can work some 3-leggedness into their act. Like that old picnic game where you tie your ankle to another persons' and race.

Do they still have that weird Vanilla Ice hair?

They sing *really* poorly.

Realized today that those twins' nickname reminds of the Sponge Bob character Squidward
