Doggy donors

Ah, that's what I meant to mention. On the news yesterday, they were interviewing a woman who had set up a list of dog blood donors. As in, dogs giving blood to their sick or dying fellow dogs. Can you imagine the adverting campaign they'd launch to get people to offer their pets up?

'If it wasn't for Pippin, I would have bled to death after stupidly jumping over a barbed wire fence and getting stuck on it'

'When I was attacked by a bunch of squirrels in the park, Pedro's donation meant the six hour operation to glue my nose back on was successful"

'This is Molly, her blood saved me from choking to death on an unopened can of Pedigree Chum'

Freak show

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this:

People with genuine mental health issues aren't as nearly as much fun to watch. In fact, they make the whole thing slightly uncomfortable.

The producers will probably think it's TV gold if Adam tears his trousers off and climbs onto the roof of the house, armed with a potato peeler, yelling about invisible men. It was the same with Nikki, and Lea, and Barrymore, and Vanessa, and all the other unstable and needy people they've locked up and sat back to watch. Seeing them crying and stropping and generally breaking down, day after day, just wasn't pleasant. You couldn't really call it entertainment, unless you're the sort of person who kicks pigeons for fun.

Right, let's clamber down off the soap box, we all know I'm going to watch it, even if they're putting contestants in the stocks. I just hope it's going to be full of Z-listers who throw massive tantrums because the house doesn't have any organic de-caff. You know, people I can actually enjoy watching suffer.
