Purveyors of sewage merge into misshapen monstrosity

For those who care about crap television, local free-to-air television rivals Mediacorp and Mediaworks have decided to end their bitch slapping and make up. How will this affect the unfortunate people who lack cable programming?

No prizes for guessing that this will only mean more awful programmes as now Mediacrap will be free to divert even less resources to producing quality shows (not that any existed in the first place) since there’s no competition. This means more local productions with concepts stolen from American shows, bad acting, longer commercial breaks, and more Monday Mega Movies which pre-date the Jurassic era.

Which brings me to this question: What was the real difference between the two? Both are in one way or another linked back to the government. Both sucked (Mediaworks sucked marginally less) and both had news programmes which displayed an astonishing lack of journalistic freedom. I can only imagine (with some glee) the actors who left Mediacorp for Mediaworks being made to crawl back into the Mediacrap offices to beg for their jobs, just like what Kurt Angle did when he was General Manager of Smackdown! (which produces infinitely better drama by the way).

Ok, enough of this, I’ve gotta prepare for Tuesday’s airing of Titanic on Channel 5, they’re showing it ALL AT ONCE this time!
