Space cadets.

I didn't want to watch it.

But, I found myself doing so.

Baby jesus on a stick though, that's full on car-crash telivision, isn't
it? I've never heard such nonsense.

I'm quite disgusted at myself for finding it funny.

 

Thats what makes it so good, they really try and push it with what they
can get away with.

Hazelnut cluster (constellation)
NACAS/MUMI (Abbrev call codes)

Minsk the monkey.... did you see the nappy ?

If they pull this off, it will be one of the best spoofs for a long while
and has turned reality TV on its head. How could it ever be followed ?

 

I loved that bit. "It would be good if you can pay your respects to the
monkey."

My favourite still has to be the girl who says things like "being in
space is going to be 10,000 times better than chessington world of
adventures" She said another one yesterday but I've already forgotten
it.

I hope it kills off reality TV.

I can I put the case for it killing off Chav TV entirely.

 

I only saw half of the first episode (I'm not being a snob, I just keep
forgetting it's on), but I'm convinced that the numpties that make up
the participants are *all* paid actors.

I honestly think that the "biggest scam in the history of reality TV"
part actually refers to the viewing audience being scammed into thinking
this is genuine. I guess time will tell though - like I say, I haven't
actually being following it.

 

Plenty of rumours of that going around. At a party on Sat night, this was
one of the big topics. The party soon after split into 2 rooms.

 

The only part of the programme that I've seen consisted of them
resolutely denying this.

So it must be true.

 

Those who thought it was a hoax, and those who thought it wasn't?

 

Those on Acid and those on E ?

 

I'd be surprised. The production company is Zeppotron (inc. Charlie Brooker,
creator of TV Go Home, so that kinda hints at the mindset) who are now a
subsidiary of Endemol, makers of Big Brother.

I can't see the biggest company in Reality TV killing off their golden
goose. Not intentionally, anyway.

 

I am struggling to believe anyone could be as thick as to think that they
are in space yet not "weightless"(1)... I've only watched two episodes but
it seems hard to believe they believe that one! Then there's the view out of
the front window that is a 2D screen in front of them, humans see in stereo,
they could easily judge it's distance and realise that it is not very far
off...

I think it's a hoax...

(1) You weigh as much in low orbit as you do on earth (2) but you are in
perpetual freefall in orbit so you appear weightless. If the ship is pushing
against their feet it is either A. Held up (On the ground) or B. has
thrusters going at 1g acceleration constantly. The only other solution would
be a spinning station creating centripetal force but this would vary in
strength around the ship.

(2) Ok, so a little less due to the inverse square law... blah blah.

I wouldn't haven't a clue but from the information provided buy those
with even less of a life than me I suspect you may be right, about one
utterly irrelevant matter.
