Speaking of which, it's interesting to note precisely how cultures function

For example, for plenty of little reasons, coming together, demographics etc, in Norway, rampant tabliodism is very limited. We have only 2 magazines that feature this kind of papparazziism, and even then it's relatively mild.
We have some good-morning shows, where gossip is "discussed", but not much else related to this kind of media.

In Spain however, hey had the "all-out" version: Tabloid TV-show, with a glaring lack of regulation. A daily show, each episode FOUR... HOURS... long. In Norway this is forbidden, it's not even an issue. Any chat-show cannot be more than one hour, and rarely exceed 45 minutes.
FOUR HOURS of yelling, arguing, bickering, in between endless reels of amateur footage, usually some asshole chasing some celeb around, and the celeb on the verge of tears "Please! For the last time, I am BEGGING you STOP FOLLOWING ME!"
Followed by hours of debating what he wore, why on earth he sound so upset... My grandma watches it.

It felt surreal, like, I'd be at the computer, feel like a soda, go to the kitchen - on my way there I see grandma watching these people argue about celebs, I go back, surf internet, chat, watch a movie, go back, shes still watching the same argument going on.

Also, at night, Norwegian channels have these sms text "shows", with lame quizzes and stuff, usually retarded quizzes, "Guess what city: LOS ANGEL_S" and people are guessing "um... italy?" "no, that's not a city!"
IN SPAIN however, they had moved beyond that. Some countries just go fuck-it, and feature a naked woman exchanging sms texts.
Spain are beyond that too.
In Spain you get she-males on late night text-message show. Dude w boobs wanking his shaft. Thank god they also have available struggling local little channels, striving to offer good programming. Found a docu about zebras, in Catalan :D

Ah so this stuff isn't just america. Makes me feel slightly better about it. And yes I know what you mean about being amazed by how other people could get interested in this bullshit.

My mother watches them all. The duggars, little people big world, honey booboo, the real housewives of every faggot country, etc. Its quite strange to me how someone could be interested in something so stupid.

But I don't think thats the same thing as giorgio. They guy is actully pretty funny. and he's a pretty intelligent guy, IRL. I'm quite sure he does that shit on purpose to make money. The more sensationalized the better.

It often is that simple, and they surf on peoples often notion of "surely, nobody would be that callous!"
Like with that ghost show. We have it.
Always some... hillbilly little cottage in the middle of absolutely nowhere, "At the local gas station, mysterious things have been happening!"
Hillbilly gas attendant "Well, you see, the other day I felt like a strange, chill breeze! And then, after I came back from the bathroom, someone or something had moved my had!"
"Moved your had?"
"Yes, from this table, down to the floor, here."
"Amazing."
Then they call in the overweight Swedish gypsi lookalike, with her whiskey-voice "Oh yes, I can feel it! There definitely is something here! A child... in pain... "

She is probably just insane. Poor woman. But that show-host! He knows exactly whats going on, and he is an asshole for it :D

He was invited to a gvt channel show called "The unemployment office" where they drilled the fuck out of him, it got so vicious, I had to switch the channel :D they were subtle about it too, but had him smiling and sweatting :D Basically, they just formulated it as if it was real, to make him look like a total moron to actually believe in that crap - to sit there and "stand for it" the ghosts and stuff - in the setting of a completely unrelated show :D

Intriguing. I would totally watch a show designed to make fun of people who make fun of people to make money.

Yes, it's a harsh show, cus they are good at it. They are very "trolly", they are very good at controlling their expressions, to feign interest or good-will, and keep that attitude just to unsettle their guests - if that guest deserves such of course :D

One show I am amazed is even legal is "Paradise hotel", they just advertised for a new season. But this is "TV3" and airs from London, somehow circumventing Norwegian law, and thriving at it, idunno how... but it airs at best hours, main demographics seem to be young teens... and it is _almost_ porn. Sometimes it IS porn, the only thing distinguishing this show from porn is that in porn you expect continous fucking on screen. In "Paradise hotel" there is only occational fucking. But yeah, just skipped the rules, and airs it at best hours, with kids watching :D Advertise for it at best hours too, they threw in some contestant chicks voice "I go crazy in parties! I'm not afraid to get naked!"
Handpicked airheads!

In one show they had a quiz, and they asked who the American president was. This was when Obama just won. America. Obama. President. Black.
None of them knew.
One of them even exclaimed "Who knows such stuff anyway? I'm not some professor!"
These are Norwegians. I'm amazed they know how to open doors.

AND show host for this season: Paris Hilton! (Previous was a Norwegian porn star, you know, just to nail that show-at-best-hours-to-young-teens-demographics stance!)

I just finished watching an episode of Ancient Aliens. I love how they only ask questions and let the interviewed nutjobs produce their frequently unrelated theories on something completely different as some sort of answer, all this while cutting between launch footage from NASA, control rooms and hieroglyphs.

"Could it be that von Braun's fascination with space travel was in essence the prolongation of the SS and their freemasonry rituals and the Egyptian god Osiris, thereby proving that yes, we were indeed the offspring of ancient aliens?" Cut to nutjob proclaiming "yes, NASA's fascination with the number 33 is proof of their hidden agenda!"

Cut to the 58th launch of a wholly unrelated satellite mission, Buzz Aldrin, the far side of the moon and the space shuttle orbiting Earth.

Cut to V2 rocket missing its target.

"The V2 rocket was the first computerised intercontinental missile and the first to reach outer space."

Cut to yet another black-and-white Apollo 11 clip followed by an Egyptian pyramid.

"What was it that NASA expected to find on the far side of the moon?"

"What did von Braun know?"

I say these guys are silly and sensationalized, but I do not refute their core claim. The furiously pursue that this planet was visited by aliens in the past. I won't say that we were not visited by aliens.

The funny part is the way they film the show, and the things they claim to be evidence. I just say that to show that i'm not a close minded poopie head.  :zoinks:

How does a joke make you sad? I'm pretty sure everyone here thinks he's an idiot, zegh. Speak up. You're among people who agree with you.

What, it was a joke?
Does he or does he really not talk about penis sheaths?
:I

I'm not sure I can handle any more from this guy.

You know, it's something personal, lately I've had it up to here with mentally ill people. My retarded fucking neighbor, whom I have mentioned before, he keeps asking me if I've heard "someone knocking on the windows at night" and stuff, the guy is FUCKING NUTS, and he DOESN'T REALIZE, and it drives ME insane :I :I:I

 :LMAO:

That just reminds me. In the middle of the night, my sick daughter wakes me: "Mom, I'm hearing voices."  :hide:























So, there's me, thinking "fever delirium", but no, she heard my other girl softly reading to herself, in the middle of the night.
I can do upside down chocolate moo things!
