Not had the pleasure of watching this dire programme before, i caught the end of it while tidying up after new years day family thing.

What the sort of sexist shit is this, then presenter guy , some supposbly ' funny' idiot actually said, as they introduced a vile man ' let the sausage see the roll' and then all the women were cheering.

How is this shit on tv?

Gemsy83 · 02/01/2011 15:27

DrNortherner · 02/01/2011 15:48

What about the men who go on it. What do they look like?

Gemsy83 · 02/01/2011 15:49

I didnt say they were brainless slags I said the 'look like'.... if you dont want to be portrayed like it dont aim to look like one!

Gemsy83 · 02/01/2011 15:50

And if you have such little self esteem and respect for yourself you stand in line waiting to be picked by the handsome prince then you deserve all the labels you get really...its so bloody urrgh...DESPERATE

"What about the men who go on it. What do they look like?"

Like complete twits most of the time Xmas Grin

DrNortherner · 02/01/2011 15:52

Explain what a brainless slag looks like then? Hmm

As I said before they are not desperate for a date, they know they are never going to find Mr Right on there, it is a bit of fun. A giggle. A laugh.

noddyholder · 02/01/2011 15:52

It is shockingly bad and the whole concept is questionable.

I was going to say something stronger that i'd say out loud in RL to friends - but I'm not sure it's 100% PC Xmas Blush

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 02/01/2011 15:56

according to google images \link{http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Xlj5g65k9sL-fM:s.bebo.com/app-image/9408536253/7428835463/PROFILE/beboapps.innersocial.com/mystickers/image/r16692208_1237098307.jpg&t=1\this} is what a brainless slag looks like.

Gemsy83 · 02/01/2011 15:58

Oh whatever shineon- thats my view- dont like it, shove it up your duff! Couldnt care less!

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 02/01/2011 15:59

actually if that's what a brainless slag looks like I think I may dress up as a man and go on the next series of TMO............Xmas Wink

Gemsy83 · 02/01/2011 16:01

And I dont go in for this 'sisterhood' bollocks when so many women seem to want to play right into the hands of men and their stupid stereotypical views of women done up like christmas trees waiting to be picked by the handsome menz...bloody pathetic I have no desire to help 'sisterhood' when women want to portray our entire race as helpless little dollybirds.

DrNortherner · 02/01/2011 16:01

Gemsy sounds like such a nice person Hmm

Ladyofthehousespeaking · 02/01/2011 16:02

I think they look exactly like 25 year old singles who are going out for a night of dancing- what the fuck is wrong with that?

Gemsy83 · 02/01/2011 16:03

No they arent they look like they are going to stand around being judged then picked by a man to be their 'prize'. I'd just love my daughter to aspire to be like this!

Ladyofthehousespeaking · 02/01/2011 16:03

Anyway- the whole point is the reject the men they don't like...

BaroqinAroundTheChristmasTree · 02/01/2011 16:04

you think \link{http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:Xlj5g65k9sL-fM:s.bebo.com/app-image/9408536253/7428835463/PROFILE/beboapps.innersocial.com/mystickers/image/r16692208_1237098307.jpg&t=1\he's handsome??}

ewww - give me that "brainless slag" that google images threw up any day of the week over him

mayorquimby · 02/01/2011 16:06

exactly.
I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me how this show is in any way derogatory or sexist to women specifically.
fine if you want to condemn it as a damning indictment of society as a whole that we are happy to sit around and watch vacuos people who are often of below-average attractveness preen as though they are gods gift and demand their 15 minutes in the spotlight to convince us all of how damn important and special they are.
