Xfactor

Dryadri · #1 10-17-2009, 12:25 PM

I flicked it on for a nosey and those stupid twatty twins were on, John and Edward isn't it?
Anyway, I don't care what their names are, thy make me want to go slaughter a kitten. They're are shit bags! Why the hell are people voting for them?! Geez.

That is all, I just felt the need to whine to all you people who don't care :3 Is there anyone who you don't think deserves to even be alive right now?

Why would you slay down a kitten?? =(

The danish Xfactor was shitty and awful... They had all these interesting and talented people, yet this really annoying, boring girl won who wasn't even that good at singing... But for some reason people seemed to like her <_<
Probly cos she had a sobby background story or whatever.

Why on earth would you watch such banal drivel?

I only watched it when I visited my dad... I don't even own a TV...

But mindless TV can be ok once in a while.

Perhaps when pissed out of your skull.

You don't need to justify your occasional viewing. Perhaps to yourself, though.

***Wil*** · #6 10-17-2009, 01:32 PM

Whoa.

I think I just raped myself.

I don't justify it. I don't care. But you seem to have a problem with what other people are watching, so I'm simply explaining here and giving a hint that maybe you should cool it.. Reality TV really isn't the devil you know.

I don't need to cool it. I wasn't wound up in the first place. I was simply stating that there are more constructive things to do rather than watch obnoxious twats go on television saying "Whoo, I can sing, listen, I'm really good!", be told "You're shit, fuck off" and then witness the same thing again.

OMNOM. But she annoys the shit out of me. Shame.

I hate X-Factor. The auditions are mildy amusing, but when it all starts getting serious it just starts pissing me off. And when everyone starts screaming over some 16 year old boy... ugh. And the majority of the runners up get an album, 80% of the songs being High School Musical.

I know... I didn't say you were wound up... Bah I just mean that you need to cool down your view on reality TV.

I know that it's cool to hate reality TV and think that only mindless jocks and bimbos watch it. I'm just trying to open your view a bit.

After using your brain a lot for 'constructive' things. Either school, work, creative activities or just reading a book or watching a movie. Sometimes one can need to just watch mindless crap to balance things out.

Personally, I just like people making a fool out of themselves on TV... it's my way or just turning off my brain and going with the flow.
Other people might do it by watching a cartoon, or watch Youtube Poop on the Internet.

Where I'm going with all this is that it's unfair of you to assume that only people who are 'pissed out of their skull'(whatever that means) watch that this kind of TV.

I mean the fact that you don't watch reality TV is fine. But it doesn't make you more sane, intellectual or clever because of it. You just have different tastes. I'm sure that you too do something less intelligent once in a while to cool off your brain, and in case you don't, you should try it.

Also this isn't meant personally so don't take it that way. It's just an interesting point I wanna talk about

Now people who watch reality TV only and treat it as guide to life... Well that's another story.

To save the page, I have condensed your post. I'm not aiming this at that particular part.

I see your point, but it's my principles (and standards) that stop me from watching this stuff, not my tastes. I enjoy seeing unlikeable people humiliate themselves, but I don't see this show as anything other than a big freak show, which I believe is wrong. If someone makes a fool of themselves, that's fine. If someone goes on television thinking that they're good, and don't realise that they're humiliating themselves, and the presenters are aware that this will happen, I don't see it much less cruel than belittling people because they are fat or unattractive.

Although, at the end of the day, it's each to their own.

Meh... I guess you have purer principle than most people then(i commend you for that).

Personally, I don't see such a big problem with it, and the show does succeed in showing ok talent too at some points.

But yea... I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree x_x .

Australian X-Factor died in the arse because the judges kept on praising how wonderful the performers were live on stage and how well they interacted with the audience, but they were never coached on how to perform to the cameras or make it exciting for the home viewer. It got boring, fast, and people stopped watching it.

Also, this thread should have been a blog.

moxco · #15 10-17-2009, 07:26 PM

I mildly remember an Australian Xfactor. But it died. I just wish the same could happen to Idol.

Mac Sirloin · #16 10-17-2009, 09:18 PM

IS this the X factor with Bull testicles and Joe Rogan or am I missing something.

Leto · #17 10-17-2009, 09:48 PM

Fear Factor

though i had to ask myself the very same question

Yeaaah no that's something else xD This has Simon Cowell and a load of people who can't sing in it.

X Factor is the shit of Satan himself.

I agree 99%; I would rather slaughter Louis Walsh than a Kitten, what the fuck was he thinking when he put them through?

Getting to watch Lucie Jones just about makes it bearable.

OddjobAbe · #21 10-18-2009, 03:19 AM

You don't need to format a letter on "fuck" to get it through anymore. The word lost effect after that was made unnecessary, so please continue putting emphasis on the "u".

Rich · #22 10-18-2009, 03:27 AM

Old habits die hard. If you don't have to fool vBulletin to swear, its not as much of a thrill. I thought we were supposed to be all child friendly anyway.

Or have you guys decided to fuck the kids? (Literally?)

OddjobAbe · #23 10-18-2009, 03:32 AM

A quick scan through recent topics will answer that.

I think the age where kids are even remotely shocked by the word "Fuck" has long since gone

No seriously... I think the word 'Fuck' has actually lost a lot of it's shock-value... Sad huh.. I'm actually having trouble finding a new swear that's strong enough to express my frustrations.

I've spoiler'-tagged the bad words to make it kid-friendly

MA · #25 10-18-2009, 07:15 AM

i find the X-Factor to be a pile of poo, to be polite. i'm sick to the back teeth of it. and all the other wank like Big Brother and what have you.

Leto · #26 10-18-2009, 10:59 AM

Aren't you just the little edgy and contrary man on the internet.

God! Not Big Brother! Hasn't that been axed now? >:3

OddjobAbe · #28 10-18-2009, 01:29 PM

Fortunately, but you know that some pillock is going to bring it back in some shape or form. It may have been axed because of it's rightful decline in ratings, but there were still a lot of sad, sad people watching it.

joshkrz · #29 10-18-2009, 02:24 PM

No, it has a year to go, then it stops.

One thing I just don't get is BB Live. Do people actually watch that shit?

Xfactor is wank. Singing is same old same old now. Needs something different, perhaps juggling too? Oh wait that's what "Britain's Got Talent" is for...

Any more reality / talent shows? Really it's all just making cash out of complete twats, who think their good at something or want to be famous for a few months. I have no time for it.

Actually what really pisses me off about Reality TV, is that some bitch of a bimbo, or some mindless dude can go into such a show and earn 100.000$ per episode if not more.

Those shows have nothing to do with effort, skills or anything remotely worthless, yet the participants still get a shitload of money <.<
