It's so insensitive and is bound to upset so many people nowadays when Sir Alan Sugar says, "You're fired", when a lot of people are really being sacked in the recession - so it should be banned out of sensitivity.

    If you dont like it you dont watch it. If your sacked and are going to be offended by the trademark 'your fired' then you dont watch it.

    It promotes no hatred or discrimination that I know of, it is not violent or pornographic.

    If your for real I suggest you sell your TV and save £104 a year (or whatever it is now for TVL) because your too much of a precious petal for the horrors of TV.

    Apt user name though.

    For sure! Get rid of TV altogether. Think of all the employees who have had to take a pay cut or lose their jobs. It's very insensitive to keep going with this new fangled invention.

    You do realise they where never really employed with him in the first place and so aren't really being "fired", they have simply "lost".

    Anyway I don't know why I put that since this has to be a wind up or you should be shot for being such a ****ing moronic idiot.

    They aren't actually 'fired' though.. none of them have the job yet so how can they be fired from a job they don't have?!

    I find alot of the people on that show to be nasty, competitive, target driven, greedy, selfish, and vulture capitalistic. So I'd be happy if it never existed. But I suppose it appeases some people's acquisitive streaks.

    Hate everyone in it but I'm against any bans on TV so we're stuck with it. Sometimes it's good to see obnoxious people, swear at them, then switch off in disgust. Better than blandness.

    Well it promotes the kind of corporate bullshit that has got the world into the state its in, coupled with the kind of "go get 'em" wanks with attitude who destroyed banks.

    I'm amazed at its popularity, it reflects everything that's wrong with our values.

    How I wish that were true.

    Even if so, what's entertaining about a freak show?
