Estranged

I'm not a big follower of most reality television programmes, because frankly, I don't want to be cajoled into investing any emotion into caring about the contestants/celebrities. Reality television was interesting once, but so was Changing Rooms back in the day.

However somethings you can't help but learn about despite whether you were actively watching or not - and the latest one is the Jim Davidson exit on Hell's Kitchen.

Did he ask to leave? I doubt it, I wouldn't be surprised to discover his 'request' was all stage managed. Even in today's atmosphere of blasting a show for 'creating' its footage, that still pales in terms of severity when compared to the backlash from the Shilpa Shetty race debacle of celebrity big brother. "Faking it or discrimination? Hmmm, lets go with the lesser of two evils. Call Jim and tell him he's gone!"

Maybe he did decide to go, to save his own image from a dragged out bashing, whatever. What happens on the surface of this matter, I couldn't care less really - I just wanna have a bitch and I've got my target!

I just would like to ask everyone with an opinion to hold back on their vehemence for a moment and remember this one thing before they pat the production company on the back for their stance in defending personal choice and showing us all what a narrow minded bigot this Davidson is...

When was the last time you saw an openly lesbian presenter on television?

Indeed, few and far between aren't they! Thats the real discrimination going on here - "Is he gay? Sure, give him his own show!" But if you happen to be a woman who likes a bit of muff? ...Its doubtful you'll ever get close enough to a reality show to have the luxury of being discriminated against on national television. That discrimination happens way before the camera start rolling.

Its not about defending the peoples rights thats not the point of this post. I'm not saying I'm for or against homosexuality either way; this is just chance to rant about the faceless institutions of this world and point out the big flaw when they are trying so bloody hard to politically correct lately its getting painful to watch.

This post is just me saying I'm not buying it; I see the double-standard.

There, had my whinge. I'll shut up now.
