Lord Noel On 'Real' Viewer Power

What ho! TV Executives.....


With all the 'virtual' Television that is going on at the moment.......
...I imagine that competition is fierce.....
....to find the next new 'hot' idea......
....by pushing the boundaries of television ....
...just that little bit further.
We've seen some pretty dismal offerings on TV....
....under the guise of 'radical entertainment'....
....some of it even I would be hard pressed to describe as 'worth watching'....
....('virtually' entertaining - maybe)
....and these interminable 'Talk shows' where barely literate creatures with greasy hair and spots......
....are wheeled onstage in their shell suits....
... and squeezed into armchairs.....
....then asked to talk about their livestyles.......
....are enough to make anyone feel glad to be able to find.....
...the 'off' switch on the remote control......
but even I was surprised to hear of a 32 year old male Airline worker........
.....and father of four....


....who was recently filmed inside his home..
....talking about his 'sex life' to a film crew.
He discussed losing his virginity at 14 years of age....
....whilst showing orf his 'collection' of adult toys.

(and I should add........
....that his 'sex life' didn't always involve his wife).....
Then they filmed him.....
....prowling the streets in his car.....


...looking for females to 'pick up'.
Well apparently......
....200 complaints flooded in from angry viewers......
....who were justifiably annoyed at Mr Mazen Jawad's blatently immoral behaviour.
And after a brief investigation.....
.....an outcome was reached.....
...which seemed to satisfy absolutely EVERYONE.
They decided that.....
...Mr Jawad would be given 100 lashes.....
....and five years in jail.....
.....and the Television company involved.....


.....was immediately closed down.
That's pretty decisive action.... don't you think?
And certainly a 'thumbs up' for VIEWER POWER.....
but then again.....
...this is in Saudi Arabia. 


Are there any TV shows that you'd like to see given 100 lashes?

Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
