Why, grasshoppers, is Television an Art while Food and Drink are merely Recreation?

eh?

We felled a tree in the forest, we were wearing headphones that blocked out all sound, and played some classic boyszone tracks (bootleg tracks from DeVs private collection - really hardcore live stuff) to ensure no external sound could be heard. We had a minidisk recorder to see what sound if any it would make.

The deal was, no sound - tv goes in rec, while food and drink goes in art, if there was a sound we would do the opposite. The result you know by the placement of TV in art.

But the really strange thing was the sound of the tree falling, was not what we expected at all, its was difficult to describe, but the closest sound we could agree its sounded like was the sound of one hand clapping.

Thats how we usually decide on categories, works most of the time.

I don't know who Kirsty is, and please don't tell me because I've now made her up and she's not 'arf bad. Except for the beetroot - damn, that ruined a nice evening.

Kirsty 'presents' a TV programme where the viewers are paid to submit videos of their children having accidents. In between the children getting hurt, the beautiful dimwit stumbles over her autocue, earnestly emphasising random words with a look in her eyes so vacuous it would excite Mr Dyson. This was thought to be the nadir of TV before the arrival of 'The Swan'.

Amongst her male viewers she induces a heady sensation of lust mixed with guilt. The guilt comes from knowing that her single-digit IQ makes her incapable of consent. Still...
