For the love of god, bring back the X Factor

Britain's Got Talent.

Britain's Got Talent ?

Are you f***ing joking.

There's an A&E department near to ITV's head office that now specialises in injuries to the end of fingers consistent to those of scraping through the bottom of barrels, before continuing to scrabble away at the concrete below.

Each judge has a button to press when they get sick of each act to stop the performance. That's a novel idea (!). Why didn't they just use a gong instead ?

Fortunately, I only have to press one button to make the pain go away.

ITV have publicly stated that they are moving away from summer reality programs, admitting defeat to C4's three month bitch-fest, but they're not exactly going after the anti-Big-Brother viewer.

Safe to say that I only now ever watch ITV when there's football on, and even then it's usually crap.
