Modern Britain, according to the guidebook, is a nation obsessed with celebrity...Yes, where else would you find a 'reality show' with D-list former has beens that people actually watch? (I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here)For this nation ... it is "a telling indictment that more people [in Britain] vote in TV talent shows than for their country's leaders", said the new guide to Great Britain. That, it suggested, was "a symptom of Britain's ever-growing obsession with fame and celebrity".
And in a damning indictment of what some might consider to be the UK's thriving creative industry, those so-called celebrities base their fame on "little more than the ability to sing a jolly tune, look good in tight trousers or kick a ball in the right direction".

Emily came over tonight and even cooked - T-bone steak, baked potatoes and beetroot, and broccolini. She had noodles for lunch, which I had been planning to cook for dinner. I was not about to turn down having dinner cooked for me, especially steak.

Is steak good? I really need to have a sit-down with my humans about their eating habits. I want steak!
So, where else would you find a "reality show" with D-list former has-beens that people actually watch?
The United States of course.
I'm pretty sure we got Great Britain beat on this one.
Gosh, Lonely Planet is just figuring this out?!
I wish the Brits would get back to celebrating eccentricities instead of lame-o chavtastics.
