Yet another reality TV shows' 15 minutes of fame means that we are all regaled with the awfulness of drug overdoses.

Last night the makers of Wife Swap defended the way they
handled the couple and said they had offered him help
after the show was aired. The Wife Swap website gives
a taster of RDF's view of the Fosters' way of life.
It says: "The free-spirited Fosters
are a family with a difference -
Jane and Simon both have girlfriends
outside of the marriage.

Sounds like it is time for a 'move here' feature in Latest Homes.

When I saw the headline I thought it must be a Brighton story about a transvestite household but it turns out to be something about one of these foolish television shows.

I prefer life. And The Simpsons

He was on TV at one point
but it may have changed him
so the only way to not be changed(if that was the case)
is Not Sign the Contract.

In fact LTNS most of the article is concerned with the fact that he was on TV at one point. Never mind dear ... keep digging.

Perhaps we would see a change in LTNS if he underwent the rigours of life by trading in his wife for a spell with Mrs Poppadum.

Infinite you wouldn't do that to your poor wife. No one deserves a fate like that ... even temporarily!

Mrs Poppadum would then realise where she is well off! There would be no more complaints about my shortcomings.

My culinary creations would be greeted with rapture after all those bags of Greggs take-aways.

Portslade might be humble but it would seem a veritable Paradise on Earth.

So, it turns out that LTNS has all along confined himself to the tea.

If Greggs were serious about milk, it would go for a Jersey or Guernsey supplies.

A Star? 15 minutes of fame in some manufactured, grossly coercive two bit reality TV show? A star? Nah LTNS only in the minds of small people who are swayed by all that tripe called 'Reality TV'. The topic is that a poor individual had allowed himself to be swayed by the hard sell of reality TV producers. Or the topic is that some poor individual could not cope with the consequences of the mixture of his lifestyle with reality TV. But as it is neither ... it ain't a topic!

It is a Topic of a Sad Death
in Local News - Whitehawk.

Swayed? - we do not know that.

RDF are not the cause of his Death.


As for that show

you Do not have or want a TV.

Perhaps Whitehawk will find itself the subject of something similar to this new television depiction of wife swaps.
