Why does 'Loose Women' make me want to smoke crack?

...I can't put my finger on it.

I know it is a travesty for all of humanity, but I would be interested to hear your views as to why.

Or perhaps you disagree?

It's awful. It's like a group of tipsy Daily Mail readers having a big menopausal gossip about nothing. Drivel.

Btw, I hate all daily Mail readers, women included...so there

But look at what you just said, sea:

The only show on tv that is just women.

And look at it.

Doesn't that speak volumes?

just makes me laugh that the only show on tv that is just women can generate such hate from other women.

"this thread is now confirming my believe that feminists are right bitches to other women"

Riiiiiiight, no sweeping generalisation there then. FFS.

You've got a point tethersend. It's depressing that programme makers think that that's what women who are at home during the day want to watch. That and bloody This Morning. Mind you, maybe it is what women want to watch, it must get pretty good ratings...

You make a very good point, Seth. I could also show them the meaning of 'loose woman'.

I am alarmed that it gets passed off as feminism, or at least that the commissioners think that its unique brand of 'having a laugh at men and celebrities' will be enough to satisfy our fluffy female brains by billing it as an incisive topical chat show.

I think its one of these programmes that is so bad, you cant stop watching it! The drivel that comes out ,and there are books of "the scripts". They dont really do us any favours do they?

SethStarkaddersMum · 13/04/2010 17:50

the way it claims to be transgressive and really it is so very very mainstream.
that's why your reaction was not 'it makes me want to smash the tv' but 'it makes me want to smoke crack', ie 'it makes me want to do something really transgressive'.

perhaps SEA thinks it is anti-feminist for someone to remark that someone isn't a "woman's woman" ?

Indigo's comment would make you think that sea (I was a bit myself)- but what else on the thread has made you think that?

Pass me another lick of that rock...

They are just hideously revolting (inside and out) bints warbling on about how kerrrrrazy the world out there is and giving pathetic little anecdotes about their zed list cleb lives. "In 1980 when i was in Accapulco on Christopher Biggins' boat bla blah blah...."

and the make-up!!! I thought there were warnings before stuff like that came on...

LadyBlaBlah · 13/04/2010 17:38

I fear you are right tethersend

southeastastra · 13/04/2010 17:37

this thread is now confirming my believe that feminists are right bitches to other women. right on!

IndigoSky · 13/04/2010 17:36

Truly awful programme.

Apparently they have to open the make up department at ITV at 4am to give them enough time to make sure they don't scare young children who happen to be watching.

I often work from home and I cannot even have them in the background......they make me wanna smoke crack washed down with some crystal meths and miaow miaow.

I often wonder whether it is me who is insane rather than everyone else. After all they did win some award recently for being rather good.

AnyFucker · 13/04/2010 17:26

I get ya, scout

and I agree

scoutliam · 13/04/2010 17:25

To be fair AF I don't think those were the words spoken it was more, as you say, the way they managed to have such a shallow inane discussion about the topic and make it seem trivial compared to "real" rape.

Every day I watch the first five minutes and then become incandescent with rage and turn over.

I want to know why that happens.

(Not watching at all would be too easy )

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 13/04/2010 17:03

oh yes, I watch every day

I never said I didn't

southeastastra · 13/04/2010 17:02

you all secretly watch don't you, otherwise why are you bothered!

AnyFucker · 13/04/2010 17:01

oh yuk, scout

did one of 'em really say that ?

scoutliam · 13/04/2010 17:00

They delight in their ignorance,
it's all "I don't know about date rape but I'll be down the pub with a large drink tonight with my new breasts hoping"

I don't like Denise Welch

she doesn't seem like a woman's woman, to me IYSWIM

very brassy and rather jealous when the attention isn't all on her

cornsilk · 13/04/2010 16:58

That blond one from Corrie is the worst. Is she still on it? That other one from Corrie also. Imagine being trapped in a lift with them two.
