Depressing TV programmes
Just watching one of the most depressing programme I have seen for ages - Underage and Pregnant - god help us (if I wasn't an atheist!!!).
What's your most depressing programme?

The one where the dude went to Dignitas and was filmed committing assisted suicide. That was extremely hard to masturbate to.

I don't think it was the same one, but the programme where Terry Pratchett discussed his early onset Alzheimers and then looked at ways he could legally kill himself when the time came (including following a couple of people who went off to Europe to do the deed) was extremely sad and depressing.

Re: Depressing TV programmes
Don't have a current one, but I gave up watching Eastenders many years ago for exactly that reason.
A couple of years ago I watched a programme on Foxtel about kids and young people who had managed to escape from weird religious cults. One young guy was extensively interviewed about his time growing up with the cult and how he was trying to start a new life outside, only to find out later in the programme that he committed suicide. It was heart breaking to think that these kids had been born into these cults, only for it to screw up their lives completely in the real world

The Block.
I think it's on just about 24/7. Whenever I turn on the television, there it is, and I can never change the channel quick enough to avoid being aware of it.
So I hired some DVD's. Watched "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World" tonight. It was said to be "funny" on the cover.
It wasn't. The title said a lot.

Re: Depressing TV programmes
The kids were watching one of the weekend about the face transplant lady who had had her face and hands eaten off by her friends pet chimpanzee. The poor woman only had eyes left and they came in and told her they had to remove them, talk about depressing.
