We're being made a fool of. In Rip-Off Britain that's ok. It's allowed. It's not a problem.The 'Nation can have spoken' when a survey of only less than 400 people vote, and 73% of them approve, when advertising cosmetics on TV in this country. 73% of 400 = 292 people; out of an estimated UK population of 63 Million, that's 0.000463% of the country being attributed as speaking for each and every one of us.
A time limited British Telecom half price monthly service deal can be advertised as the going rate (but do read the small print to find out you'll pay twice as much after 3 months).
And, as previously mentioned, don't be surprised to learn that while making Syco & ITV rich, your X-Factor phone votes will have little bearing on the outcome - follow these links to discover the true extent of viewer manipulation and unreality down to Mr Cowell - just in the case alone of Katie Waissel/Lola Fontaine/Katie Vogel/Katie V and her little chum Storm Lee. If the production team are buying auditionees out of existing recording contracts (and changing their own admission rules), they've clearly invested in a successful outcome for the artist. Doesn't OFCOM regulate ANYTHING anymore???
If Simon really thinks he's bigger than jesus, perhaps he'd be wise to remember the fate his predecessor suffered! Surely we're not going to take much more of this, are we??
