Yasmin's Getting Divorced!

There's this train-wreck on TV called Yasmin's Getting Married. I think it replaces that turkey-slappin' show Big Brother in Channel Ten's lineup.

Executive Producer Karen Willing tells us why the show is so great:

"...it's just so hard to meet people in bars, clubs, in a superficial environment, and if they happen to meet a girl through a TV show then that's OK." http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2006/07/26/1153816235626.html

Yeah a reality tv show where a chick speed-dates a bunch of desparate cunts based on what home viewers think she should date, and not what she thinks and then marry a cunt who she has known for at most 9 weeks isn't superficial? Fuck off. I can't believe this show is relying on people to phone in and vote on who she should "date". Why would you let strangers tell you who you should be with? Why?!?! WHY?!?!?!?!?

It's because someone high up in Channel Ten convinced this desparate bitch to let Channel Ten be a dating agency for her. Also she would not worry about marrying the wrong guy because she would only date guys that the Australian public thought she should be with. Australians would phone up 1800 numbers and provide some moral support for the fragile little fucking corner of Yasmin's brain that can't make decisions by itself. This way Channel Ten would make money and Yasmin would marry some fuckwit. Yasmin thought: "It's a win win situation!!!" I wonder if it's in Yasmin's contract that she has to marry someone before the shows' end. The shows' name suggests that. Isn't that an arranged marriage? What if she doesn't find someone she wants to marry? Would the series end with her being single? Would Channel Ten let that happen?

This show reminds me of an American show in 2000 called: Who wants to marry a multi-millionaire? The idea was that a bunch of superficial women parade around a stage and the equally superficial, mystery, multi-millionaire guy picked out a girl he wanted to marry. At the end they married on TV without having ever met before. They ended up divorcing shortly after.

Shit.

This Yasmin show is no where near as bad as that, but christ it's getting there.

PS: Channel Ten, you replaced tonight's episode of The Simpsons with a cross-promotional show about some bitch from Neighbours. Thanks.
PPS: The Chaser's War on Everything ripped on Rove's What The? segment tonight. Thanks.
PPPS: The Wedge isn't funny.
