But now that I've wasted my time to learn that Gordon Ramsay is a celebrity chef, I'll have two less brain cells to cure cancer with. Thanks dude. Cancer victims everywhere are going to curse your name. #26 – With a gaping headwound and two tabs of LSD, I’m still smarter than you…

Jean Luc Goddard said, "Cinema is something you look up to and television is something you look down to." I took that to heart. Neither Scott nor Fellini have ever shot a frame I haven't seen, but I see it on the screen or on DVD. TV is crap (except The West Wing, which I have on DVD). #25 – “You need a little more Felliini and Ridley Scott in your life – and a tad less Brian Lamb…”

Those are new ones on me - what kind of movies do they show? Oh, I got you now - anything not factually informative is unimportant "entertainment", something smart people have no interest in, right? ;) You need a little more Felliini and Ridley Scott in your life - and a tad less Brian Lamb... #15 – OFTLO

This comes very close to violating several laws, child labour among them. I understand that AFTER the show was filmed and New Mexico started getting complaints they changed some laws that would now make the show illegal to produce in that state. The reason for New Mexico being used in the first place was because it didn't have or had very lax child labour laws and contractual laws(for children) in place. I'm becoming more and more convinced that this country(and others as well) are already on the down hill side of greatness, quickly heading for disaster. The stupidity and crassness of society here just mind boggling. Since I watch no network t.v……I could care less….what bothers me about this show is what I read on several news sites.

It confirms my theory of inverse Tv programming. As the visual technology improves, the actual quality of programming degrades. Can you image what it will end up being like when he get 3DTv? Well if the Star Trek TNG prediction about Tv comes true, there would be anymore Tv after the 21th century. I guess because we'll all have our own holodecks, running Shakespear's plays, or whatever else isn't still copyrighted by then. #11 – I agree with you Mr. Mustard.

Kids being signed away by their parents to be filmed for our entertainment and the worst you can post is that its half an hour from some mall? What impact does that have on the "reality"/staged nature of the show? Talk about irrelevant. Not being into hypocritical pseudo snobbery, I'm looking forward to high def nature and science shows, and some of my favorite movies, and if you look at steaming horseshit in SD, I'm sure you will be looking at the same piles in HD. 0-Eideard–I don’t get it.
