I give you: X Factor. Bunch of amateurs doing karaoke turns, usually out of tune. For the most part, if they were in a pub band down at the local, you'd walk out when they came on. Or at least go to the lounge.
And then I give you: Strictly. Bunch of people who are billed as celebrities (although most of them are hardly household names even in their own households) dancing badly. Maybe getting slightly better as the weeks go by, but still not to a standard you'd want to pay money to see.
Fucking shite, isn't it? Why are we watching people do things badly?
