What a fucked up poll.

Why is that 'for fun'?

And what on earth is that hideous red thing he has on? Wink

purplepeony · 08/11/2010 10:01

I think you need to go to AIBU

Why watch daytime TV if it gets your goat? My TV is never on until at least 8pm.
I throughly recommend the Today programme and the rest of Radio 4 Grin

What a subject for daytime television!!! Shock

I never cease to be amazed.

When I was at home the other week, the question before they went to the break was... 'how many public places did Stan Collimore confess to have been dogging at'

I mean... jeez... its daytime tv. I imaged small DC saying.... 'muuuum, whats dogging?'

yes, pp

should have been in AIBU

I just objected to the frivolous nature of the "for fun" angle...one of those that is posted before and after an ad break

Give me the "what happens next" in "Are You Being Framed" any day Grin

Matthew Wright, for example, is a twat of the highest order.

BertieBotts · 08/11/2010 10:05

I'm considering banning Milkshake for the amount of times Matthew Wright gets left on after it. Hmm

abedelia · 08/11/2010 10:05

PP - absolutely!

Teaandcakeplease · 08/11/2010 10:09

Well that confirms why I never watch it.

"I just objected to the frivolous nature of the "for fun" angle" completely agree AF Angry

abedelia · 08/11/2010 10:14

Rape... fun... nope, can't see the connection still (nor why any TV idiot would have - argh!!)

dinkystinky · 08/11/2010 10:14

The man is a pillock. His researchers and producers are dunderheads. Would get angry but to be honest its the kind of crass woman hating shit I'd expect from that kind of programme. Matthew Wright, his production team and the channel that shows that shite should be truly very ashamed of themselves.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 08/11/2010 10:16

oh my god, that is awful. I'm speechless.

Seabright · 08/11/2010 10:18

What did they say the answer was?

AnyFucker · 08/11/2010 10:23

I am very Shock at this! How appalling.
We all know the man is pretty vile, but seriously? Did this really happen, I can not believe it, no actually I can believe I just don't want too.

Ormirian · 08/11/2010 10:26

What?

How does that constitute 'fun'?

Twat!

MmeLindt · 08/11/2010 10:29

Bloody he'll.

Is it about the woman who was jailed?

matildarosepink · 08/11/2010 10:31

Don't forget Twitter, people! You can send them instant feedback on there, and they really do listen to it.

AnyFucker · 08/11/2010 10:35

Mme, they did discuss the woman jailed for retracting the rape claim after this "poll" that we had to "guess" the right answer to

I turned the sound down though, so I dunno what the twats said

That woman presenter is shit, I think, she just keeps crumbling/backing down/giggling when MW comes out with his misogynistic witterings

OP posts:
LittleMissHissyFit · 08/11/2010 10:36

Sorry AF, but YABVU for watching that MW in the first place...

I leap coffee tables to change channels to avoid him, he is just awful.

AnyFucker · 08/11/2010 10:38

I know hissy, I shall have to accept my penance and no choccy biscuits for me today Sad

Unprune · 08/11/2010 10:39

Hang on, though: publicising that statistic is important, isn't it?

NB I don't disagree with any of the namecalling on this thread Grin

MmeLindt · 08/11/2010 10:40

Posted on twitter. See if anyone picks it up. Doubt it though.

What a prick
