Big blogger: celebrity flapjack
The advert on the back of Metro today said this:
We know you love Big Brother. We know you love celebrities. We know you love hijack situations. Well get this…
And it went to announce the scheduling details of Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack.
All of which has prompted me to reveal the following four surprise facts about myself:
- I’ve never liked Big Brother.
- I’ve never cared much for celebrities, as a group.
- I’ve never much liked hijack situations. Not even that really big four-way one in September 2001, which, to give them their due, they really put a lot of effort into.
- I don’t like being addressed like that. I don’t like the assumptions made about what I “love”, and someone’s made a mistake if they think the phrase “well get this” will endear them to me and help retain my attention.
And no, I won’t be watching Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack. I suspect I’m not really their target audience. I suspect, also, that I won’t be missed.
