Has Kenny stooped to a new low?

limerick_woody · 07-11-2008 11:48pm #1

I am now sitting here, foaming at the mouth with contempt watching Pat Kenny (my wife has the remote). We have some monumentally deluded woman 'revealing', that we are surrounded by angels. We all 'need to believe that there is a god'. Is this **** what we are paying our license fee for? What a ****ing joke RTE has become. That poor woman is clearly mentally disturbed and should be receiving medication, not sharing her delusions with the country. What really alarms me, is that people are sitting at home now, and not foaming at the mouth with contempt.

(rant over)

We just knew there was going to be a book somewhere didn't we. :mad:

Flogging a new book, surprise surprise :rolleyes:

Why oh why am i listening to it? (too lazy to get up and look for remote)

limerick_woody · 08-11-2008 12:05am

What does it take for people to have a bit of intellectual integrity and put your hand up when you see obvious absurdity. Just how pathetic are we as a nation that she and that Gibbon Pat Kenny are not laughed off the airwaves.

And yes, you just knew a book-plug was forthcoming at some point.

Yet you still watch the Late Late to complain on boards about it's poor quality guests and the planks ineptitude at conducting an entertaining interview.

I was complaining about the content of the program, not that i was forced to watch it - i now have the remote, and i was watching it because i share the tv with someone who is more tolerant of such crap. Your view of entertaining and mine, clearly differ - i thought it was disgusting.

Havent seen the programme so cant really form an opinion except to say we live in a world of mediocrity which is why we have hundreds of tv channals .But what's bland and dull to some (were have we heard that word before ?) is box office to others .Basically some people will watch any ol shyte and feel they have being enlightened, informed and educated .

Your idea of simple and mine, most definitely come from a different book! However, that being said...

We live in a world of mediocrity because we allow ourselves to endure it without complaint. I have never liked the Late-Late anyway, and PK is a joke as an interviewer . Whilst i accept that not everybody shares my opinions on what is important, i remain continually amazed at what people will put up with in the name of entertainment.

Cant say i was ever a P Kenny fan either .Remember a time when it was fashionable to slag the americans off about their trash tv and it was the BBC / ITN/ RTE who gave us the best News ,soaps ,documentrys,comedys etc but then i suppose it was as much a cultural thing as only having 4 or 5 channals (if lucky) to look at .Perhaps money is prime in RTE's thinking and inviting the ' angels by our side person ' was much cheaper .

Bah,another happy life saved by a religion mod. I was trying for his and hers matching houses,only her one gets a cheque from his every month. I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you pesky,..um...you!

Latchy · 08-11-2008 1:49am

I know some people who watch Kerry Catona / Jordon and Pete thinking it's entertainment .Perhaps they know something i dont , perhaps it's just trash tv , perhaps i'm just getting old .Fcuk i'm glad i'm getting old

Dan133269 · 08-11-2008 7:22am

In fairness I thought Pat Kenny was fair enough to Dawkins when he was on the programme. and unfortunately more people would be outraged by his appearance on the show as opposed to that clinically insane angel person, didn't see her myself. The truth is the unintelligent casual telly viewer is going to find such a claim of seeing angels as plausible and very entertaining, that's probably all rte care about.

I'd like to see rte play the angelus at 6 o clock, followed by "the genius of charles darwin"

I don't have a particular problem with Pat Kenny. Though it sounds like they were scraping the barrel with guest choices yesterday.

Fortunately me and my missis chose to watch Iron Man instead last night.

Did you see the cool daVinci machine he had on after that complete nutcase?

limerick_woody · 08-11-2008 10:36am

That machine was cool - and i was admiring the ability of PK to segue from the realm of fantasy to the rational world -- with a straight-face. Perhaps that's where his talent hides (dormant)?

Actually, I'd say yes. There's nothing (that I recall) totally unbelievable in Iron Man... Now angels... that's a different story
