Next REAL Reality TV Show - Watching Paint Dry (NOT A Joke)
<snip>

LONDON (Reuters) - Some critics say the endless stream of hugely popular reality television shows are as dull as watching paint dry.

Well, now they can test the theory with a live, eight-week round-the-clock Webcast of just that.

Billed as the "ultimate reality TV show," British pay-channel UKTV Style promises a wall, some brushes and different types of paint in its program "Watching Paint Dry."

"Every other reality show is full of boring drips, so we thought that we would go one step further," said Nick Thorogood, UKTV head of lifestyle.

3. Gotta be a piss-take......
This was a joke made in a BBC Radio 4 comedy show the other night, I heard it on my drive home from work.....

If it's not a joke, then it's reality mirroring art reflecting a huge bunch of twats.....and those twats may just be the British public.

P.

twat n.

1. A minge. Also twot. 2. Stupid person. 3. v. To hit; beat up.
