Oh My Gawd......I'm getting close to running screaming from the house.......
It occurred to me that I may not be alone. Maybe there are thousands of other Kiwis who feel as I do and who may be willing to flex their political muscles and organise a referendum to outlaw reality TV. No more tiresome, self-obsessed, ethically-challenged, backstabbing sleazoids doing stupid stuff no one in their right mind should give a rat's arse about.
All we need is the signatures of 5% of registered voters and we can trigger a referendum. That should be easy as.
Anyone with me?
Once we win that one, we can have another referendum to ban tear-jerkers, freak shows and vapid infotainment from current affairs programs. The upcoming segment on "60 Minutes" about hugely fat people is just the latest in a long series of segments that appear to have taken the place of the bearded lady and baby with two heads that people used to line up to see at traveling fairs.
