TV ' Reality and Talent Shows'

At the moment as soon as one of these programs finish, another starts again. Am I the only person who has had enough of the same old stories, same old heartfelt pleas and freakier than ever contestents. Its boring , predictable, uninspiring and quite frankly rubbish.

These formats barely change from series to series, occasionally a presenter may be changed to try and breathe life into something well past its best before date! Surley this isnt the best people can come up with when designing TV shows. It must be time for something new, fresh and exciting. Surely thats what people want when turning the TV on

The general public who go on these shows, so desperate for fame, act as freaky and outrageous as possible all in the hope of being 'noticed'. I do notice them, but not in a good way, its more of a pitiful way.  I really fear what little limits some people have, when it comes to doing something to become famous.

Surely people should be watching programmes featuring people with talent rather than shows focusing on people with little or no talent at all.

Rip off lending companies

Something that really annoys me lately are these companies are offering loans and cash advance, they are on TV adverts, newspapers and even on the high street. These companies try to entice people to borrow through catchy adverts and the promise of cash quickly.

I understand the need for money lenders, but I find it hard to understand how these companies are allowed to charge APR rates of over 1700%!  I just feel that in these difficult times, with cuts being made everywhere, that this type of loan is dangerous for low earners who are struggling.

I would like banks to be prepared to lend small amounts of money to people with lower credits rating, in the hope to steer them away from these lending companies who cash in on them.
