    Go to the rte website and it's one of the 4 stories under the main headline...

    Scanning over it is enough to be reminded of it.

    That's part of life tough.
    They are plenty of stories on the site that people don't like but they don't read them.
    You've got to toughen up.

    If it makes you feel better, I'm outrageously good looking and not quite a millionaire yet.

    I'm a millionaire but ugly as f***

    I think it takes a certain type of individual to be drawn to TV shows like Love Island and Keeping Up With the Kardashians etc. and more often than not it is usually the braindead vacuous shallow type. The world is full of them.

    It’s easy to avoid, no? A lot of people I know watch it and I still know the square root of fück all about the show. Its name, that’s it. Any time stories about it appeared on my Facebook feed or IG suggestions, I’d just hid them and now get nothing to do with the show suggested to me.

    Some of them have killed themselves if that makes you feel any better?
    It doesn't make me feel better but it should make you feel worse if you are a consumer of these shows.

    Look for a better job that you enjoy and can afford to move out and enjoy your life. Then you won't be worried about anyone else's.

    I'm not.

    Thanks for the opening though, if you don't tell people you don't watch Love Island, are you even not watching it?

    Maybe i'm just old and grumpy but i think it's sad young people view these people as interesting and some even aspire to be like them. I guess it's all part of the dumbing down of society.

    How do you know if someone doesn't watch Love Island? They'll tell you. Repeatedly.

    Girl from Longford has over half a million followers on Instagram. She'll be able to make 5 figures for one post alone, nevermind appearances and other money opportunities.

    I was in the pub at the weekend with a bunch of lads and they were all on about Love Island.

    Some people think that not watching it makes them more superior and intelligent than those who do. Its just a tv show.

    Love Island is actually a peninsula.

    Fake news. Love Island is actually an archipelago.

    That's my automatic first reaction when I hear the name but then I think about the amount of absolute drivel I watch.

    It's a horrible toxic premise. I don't agree when people say it's just a tv show. It's this kinda thing that helps legitimise horrible toxic stuff in general.

    Haven't watched a second of it and I still know what that is because of an ad.

    OP might have a point about it being impossible to avoid.

    It's always so amusing to see the people on here getting so worked up about something they claim not to care about.
