Tat.

Myself and Mrs Frost had occasion to look at the shopping channels on TV last night and if anything is gauranteed to make you question whether having another few hundred channels is a good thing or not, a quick view of some of the shopping channels is likely to make you wonder. Tat jewellry at knockdown prices and tat fasions that only those of a very eccentric turn of mind would be likely to wear, however much the prices are reduced. Then you have the presenters who have to sit there for hours promoting rubbish that in the world outside, they would go a thousand miles to avoid. Selling crap on the TV shopping channels must be the equivelant of what they did to disgaced officials in the old Soviet Union when they were packed off to run a power station in Siberia.

Shopping channels are definately not good for your soul, or your sanity.
