I'd never heard of this Essex show until I watched that intellectual wonder on Im a celeb, couldnt even tell you what channel its on. I was watching that Adrian Childs show on itv on Sunday when ANOTHER one invaded my living room. What's the deal? :mad:
We're through the looking glass now, I genuinely weep at what we've become as a "culture".

You're not the only one, I find it very disturbing that it is 'funny' and 'cool' to be below average intelligence. I guess the trend towards anti-intellectualism started in America, where it's seen as being 'honest' if you dont know much...
How Kirk didnt know where America was on a map I simply cannot fathom...is it an act? How does someone in the developed world not know where America is, where Australia is...
How did Brian Belo not know who Shakespeare was?
I hear ya both.
Talk about the celebration of stupid nonentities.
Its shocking.:mad:
Intelligence is seen as a waste of time!
Big breasts are incredibly important!
How you look is the most important thing in the world, no matter what it takes!
I learnt a new word last year, bejazzling..what the f is that? Who invented it and how can someone make a career out of it?
Amy Childs is a new TV goddess..for being good at bejazzling and having big breasts!
I was shocked at Kirk's lack of intelligence, and he thought it was amusing??
I too am tired of people who wear their ignorance like a badge. It isn't clever...literally!
The good news is that we are not all like the Towie lot, in fact there are a lot of highly intelligent folk, like myself!
If you are going to take the moral high ground, you may wish to know that the term is vajazzling as in putting a bit of bling around the vagina.
"This Essex"? Do you mean the show or the county?
Hate to burst your bubble but it's VAjazzling, and you can (apparently) thank Amy Childs herself for inventing it.
My theory about this honouring of the thick is that as we have been well and truly shafted over and again by the intellectuals and the elite who rule over us, this backlash against them and what they represent is inevitable.
There are vast numbers of undereducated but nonetheless successful monied people who want to be represented in the media by people just like them.
And why not, they will say. The Oxbridge types have had it good for too long, why not give the rest a chance as well?
the fact he says 'this Essex show' is a pretty big clue :eek:
I bow to your knowledge of this..
In fact I'm proud of my ignorance of this!
Who invented vejazzling or whatever its called? Did they get an OBE or Nobel Peace Prize for work in Beauty therapy?
Still, she managed to get a 1st in her degree, so I won't worry too much.
No burst bubble...makes me laugh!
If you need jewels to make it attractive, theres something wrong...men and women seem to have done well without it for a few thousands of years!
Interesting theory by the way...but isnt it a persons own pride and self responsibility to know about the world instead of what goes off in their town? Each to their own I guess..But it shouldnt be celebrated..surely.
Then we have Nicola from Essex and Natalie who also has a strong E London/Essex accent so she may well originate from there too. However, these two are adding some entertainment value to the show.
Ditch the two tw*tty boys in my opinion.
I completely agree with everyone, being from Essex it's very embarrassing to have them represent you- I was shocked that Kirk didn't know where Australia was, ridiculous!? How being stupid can be fashionable is beyond me and I must admit my pale skin and natural lashes can be out of place in some bars here too.
But surely the BIB is doing the same thing albeit on a far less important topic?!
It's one thing to celebrate the achievements of someone who isn't an Oxbridge intellectual but its quite another thing to be proud that you can't point out the USA on a friggin map of the world! :eek:
I think it is one thing to have a basic education, and another to be ignorant of the most basic facts and affairs. My mother left school at 14 to work in a factory as a lot of people did years ago, yet she is the most intelligent, knowledgeable person.
So many people don't seem to WANT to learn, or enjoy learning.
Why does it have to be for a man? Why can't women do something that makes them feel good for themselves? Also, there are pejazzles which are of a similar nature but for putting on penises.
Although it is not something that I have ever had or really have a desire to, I can understand why some might. I would guess it is a lot less painful and permanent than a tattoo. Just an extension of doing hair and make up etc. They are very pretty.
