Lockdown TV.. isn't it crap.


 Well with lockdown and being bored I'm watching a lot more tv then normal. Normally I watch most of my programs (the few I actually follow) on the computer.
 As some of my series have finished and having more time at home I watch the telly... my god it's shit.
 I watched a flim the other day, 13 minutes of movie, followerd by 5 and a half minutes of adverts, FFS, thats nearly half the running time of the film during the hours it was on.
 Now normally that might not be quite so bad but half the adverts are pointless anyway.
 Theres car adverts!  All the car dealers are shut you twats!  Most of the car companies have closed so they are not even making any new ones, how many bloody people are going to buy a NEW car online without a test drive?  None I suspect, certainly not enough to pay the few million running a TV ad at prime time costs.

 Then theres adverts prasing the NHS.  Why?  We know the few actual front line patient facing staff do a good job and these days put their lives at risk. But an advert isn't helping them, what they need is better support from the thousands of managers who do bugger all but shuffle papers from room to room.  The NHS has been top heavy for decades, more managers than doctors and nurses. Bloody stupid waste of money. The staff were going without basic kit so managers could have a company car..

 Then my favorites... Food adverts, 11.00 at night why not make your own kebabs or whatever food it's showing you. Great idea but all the shops are shut and you'll have to queue for god knows how long tomorrow to find the shop hasn't got the ingredients you need. Another ad for mcguigans wine shows people turning up at your front door for a party... in lockdown? Not really sending the right message there are we mcguigans.

 On the subject of not sending the right message didn't the government get it wrong again with VE day celebrations!   They moved the bank holiday to make friday the "special" day with a concert at Buck house.  Errr your supposed to be trying to get people to stay home twats!  Most people would never have known it was the VE day anniversary if you's said fuck all. Oh no, make a big fuss, move the bank holiday (why 90% are off anyway) then expect people to ignore it.
 Then they have a tilt over people having parties to celebrate.  Well you did at Buck house, why shouldn't others... you fucking told them it was a special day after all.
