Ekel-TV (revulsion television) in Germany has certainly seen better days. No, come to think of it, it hasn’t.
Truly international as usual, „Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!“ or, if you prefer, “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”, only in German production, this year’s season is really going to revolt or spew or rock or whatever it is you choose to call it big time.
RTL’s star line up will include a well seasoned actress with prison experience, a freshly-operated transsexual and someone who actually goes by the name of “the white negro from Hasenbergl.” I’m speechless almost. With stars like these you don’t need enemies.
Needless to say, I’ll just have to watch, at least once. And so will you, because needless to say, it’s pointless to try to resist.
“Don’t go for help… no one will hear you.”
Observing Hermann 
I spent one night in a Frankfort hotel on a layover from India and was completely perplexed by the TV selections. I thought it was just a language thing … glad to hear that’s not all there was to it.
with friends like these you don’t need enemas
No, Davis. I know that feeling. You just wanna keep telling yourself “It’s only a movie, it’s only a movie…” which of course it is, aber was für einen!
Where ya been, Bud H.? A close personal friend of ours was in Berlin the other day and I missed her by that much (she used the wrong email address, or one of the wrong ones, and left town Monday morning before I could see her). Stuff happens
I’m glad you are observing these things for us. The idea of that show gives me cold shivers.
