The Importance of Being Idle

Now THAT Was Dumbing Down

Yep, Celebrity Love Island really was that BAAAAAAAAAAD. And not in a "bad meaning good" way either, more in a "bad meaning possibility of irreversible brain damage" way. Seriously you cannot believe how utterly banal that show was. Stupid, shallow people (one of the boys said "we've got a lot in common; no attention span and neither of us like to read") and a truly stunning inability to tell the difference between lust and love (the same idiot boy described all the physical qualities of one of the girls and then proclaimed he was in love with her, even though he's only just met her and doesn't know a damn thing about her - I could readily accept that he wanted to fuck her, but I don't really think you can know if you love someone until you've actually faced adversity together). I know I should be able to be all ironic and hip about consuming trash, and sometimes I can be, but that show was so insufferably awful I just couldn't. Also, does telling a woman that she "has a really incredible body" actually impress them? I just can't see it, but then I suppose I don't know any women stupid enough to find that kind of behaviour charming... So yeah, I didn't enjoy that one little bit.
Remember the smoothie I was so keen on earlier? I don't want to fall for the logical fallacy post hoc ergo propter hoc but I know I felt fine before I had it, and now I really don't feel fine at all. Bleurgh.
