TMZ says all gypsies are thieves – My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding gets racistier
GYPSIES are having a tough time in the media. In the USA, you can watch by My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding.
Channel 4 trailed Big Fat Gypsy Weddings by declaring it “Bigger. Fatter. Gypsier”. That wholly offensive attack on the white working classes, a group more abused than any other on the magic box (you never see a working class hero any more, just thick prats talking about vajazzles, having paternity tests, cheating benefits and berating foreigners) has been topped.
In the USA, the prejudice just got nastier, sickier and pervier as TMZ broadcasts footage of two of the MBFAGW stars brawling. The voiceover then calls all gypsies thieves.
Nice.

The yo-yo flick-up-the-skirt trick gets adapted
THE Yo-Yo is the stuff of champions. Oddly, yo-yo-ing is not an Olympic sport. Table-tennis is. The two are the chosen sports of the insecure teenage male. One give you the prospect of Olympic glory; one lets you see up girl’s skirts with a well-aimed flick. As you get older, you adapt your to-to trick until all mum’s friends are amazed:

The Undateables is freak show TV for the caring masses
THE Undateables is the new troll-baiting series from channel 4. The show follows disabled and less good looking people – Richard-with-Asperger’s, Justin with neurofibromatosis type 1, Penny-with-brittle-bones and Luke-with-Tourette’s – trying to pull. It’s exploitative crap, right? Only the Undatables all get dates via a dating service – even Justin, who treated us to this exchange with his date:
Justin: “What’s your favourite soup?”
Tracey: “Anything.”
