No. Britain has not got talent.

I hate reality TV. There is something really awful about watching people make utter pricks of themselves. Last year we had Alexandra Burke destroy a Jeff Buckley classic and then disappear from the face of the Earth. Then we had celebrity(?) Big Brother in which some z-list stripper porbably won. And now we have normal Big Brother. The cesspit of entertainment.

But the awfulness of all those shows is dwarfed by this one. Britain's Got Talent. I think I've found the best way to define this show: "It's a bit like an orgasm. It feels so important at the time but two weeks later, no body cares." And that's so true. Last week everyone was talking about Susan Boyle or Diversity or Stavros and Flatlpack Furniture. But now, about 10% of those people are going on that tour they do and the rest couldn't give two shits if I'm honest.

The worst thing about the show is that it has it's 'obvious winners' who - completely out of nowhere - suddenly become unpopular. Why does this happen? Probably becuase it means that the smarmy Simon Cowell can buy another house in the peak district that's built inside a mountain.

Then the winners. Oh christ. I feel so sorry for our Queen. Having to sit and watch to the drooling cretin that win that show. Last year she got some 12 year old who just got wet and threw himself around the stage. No flippin' wonder he has back problems! And Diversity. Why the hell would the Queen want to watch some teenagers doing the robot? I would really like to see the camera pan up to the Queen to see her drooling on Prince Charles' shoulder.

Then Susan Boyle. AHHH. Another person Max Clifford can grab onto until they die .

I just wish that all these shows would disappear and they show decent television instead. Then they could show quality TV like Scrubs, Everybody Loves Raymond and Two and a Half Men.

Also, new album out soon by me. Not for free, might try to set up some downloading thing. I'll have a chat with people.

Much love, Steve.
