I think X Factor is pretty much harmless if you accept that: 1) The majority of the British public have a truly sht taste in music and need to be appeased. 2) It isn't a music show, it's a form of TV entertainment. Songwriting is what takes talent, not singing the same cover songs again and again, year after year. 3) Simon Cowell may be a cnt of the highest order, but you get the impression he couldn't give less of a toss as he makes a ton of money out of all the idiots who watch his show. Best policy is to ignore it. I can't believe people aren't bored of the format yet! The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Edited by matthau (31 Aug 2015 1.39pm) Indeed it is, usually you have to pay the talent, where as things like X-Factor the talent ends up paying you. Only ever watch stuff I download or live sports these days - TV just makes me feel dumb. Simon Cowell has correctly identified and exploited the fact that the Saturday night TV watching demographic is full of gullible morons with short attention spans. The cleverest part of it is that he cons viewers into thinking they actually have some involvement in the which acts he's going to develop instead of being passive consumers who are making him a load of money before he even offers some sad act a record deal and drops them 3 months later.

The truth about Vodka almost any old vodka above the basic supermarket variety tastes so much better when it ice cold. The difference between a 10-12 bottle and a 40 bottle - Can't tell the difference in the taste. Generally true of all drinks - there is a mid range in which quality and value have no relationship (same with wine as well, you can get a very good bottle for 10, 20 or 80 quid). Then there is the silly money range, which I've never purchased. However I will say that Crystal Champaign and Krug taste very different to that 60-100 champers - but not so much better that I'd spunk 300 notes on a bottle. I think you can tell the difference with vodka only if you serve them warm, when smoothness is a factor. But Some of the fancy vodkas do have very pretty bottles....
