Got a call from my Aunty not so long ago, I believe theres coverage/a debate on NZ politics on TV1 at present ...my beautiful cousin is nicely placed behind Helen Clark - to the left bottom of most your screens.
Apparently she was approached by Marks Sainsbury to be part of the audience and specifically placed at the front for viewing pleasure (or so it seems)....that or to make Helen Clark look good 
ETA: Which brings me to my final question - Is everything we see on Telly fake? ...Even Politics  ------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

Heh 
Don't get me wrong, I love my cousin and I think she's absolutely gorgeous ...but seriously kinda funny - I think she's about as clued up/interested as I am ... (I know next to nothing....but I'm trying!)------------- Single Mum to a darling wee boy of 3 years :) |

Yes, after all TV is there to get ratings, they're not out there for the good of the people, just to make a buck.

| yes, cause no one wants to watch the boring bits, so more interesting ones are created. Read "chart throb" by Ben Elton and see idol programmes in a new light. |

Telly's main job I think is to entertain, how they go about it is up to the producers I guess.
I've read that Ben Elton book, and yup its all about the math! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

sorry for OT slightly - but has anyone else EVER seen Helen wear pink before last night?! are we seeing the "softer , feminine side" of helen now or what ? I thought it was strange and just not her really.( being a very staunch pink girl myself) ------------- ~~mommy to~~~ Candyce Chanel 15 Elijah Samuel Francois 5 Jacob Isaac Francois 3 + 4 babies in heaven |
