(Disclaimer: I am *not* saying that there are no decent programmes in the US, or that the BBC is perfect - far from it - but overall, the quality of BBC programmes is way better. And since the commercial channels in the UK have to compete with the BBC, even they are generally not quite as awful as some of the stuff on offer here.)

The other day I found myself watch something called "The Real Housewives of Atlanta". 2 minutes was enough for me.......... but WTF

Unfortunately, even in canada, it seems the majority of people want to watch that garbage. I personally couldnt tell you the name of the program or what it was about.....

Well Ill tell you something. We subscribe to the PBS stations in seattle and detroit which broadcast all the brit comedies. Expensive to be a member, but we think for the amount of TV we watch, it is well worth it. Great for a good laugh.....

I never watch the programme, but I imagine they are also indoctrinating them with all kinds of pseudo-religious, non-scientific nonsense.
Jon and kate are another program doing the same thing. Ive never watched it, but have a friend who watches it for a laugh......

Even my gyno made comments about stupid people seem to be having all the kids, while those with more intelligence are opting for far fewer kids or not having them at all...we are soon to be outnumbered.

Makes you wonder who the smart ones really are, doesn't it?

I've got 5 kids, so I guess that must mean I'm unintelligent

Couldn't they have adopted some of the thousands of children in care since they love kids so much, can afford them and are religious and therefore supposed to be caring and giving. Of course no social services department would have let them have that many.
