Dear ITV1. Is it possible to sink any lower than by broadcasting the pure dross that is 'Animals Do The Funniest Things?
At best, vaguely transfixing due to the level of sheer mind numbing 'simpleton' humor employed, at worst frankly disturbing with clips such as the 'monkey waiters' one. And no, pathetically transparent bridges that allude to promoting various UK animal welfare groups don't go any where near towards excusing a UK channel choosing to broadcast such an obscene clip sourced from a nation that has such a historically obscene culture of animal rights violation. You really ought to be ashamed of yourselves - and I think you well know it or I'm sure one of the production team involved wouldn't have squeezed that weak, arse covering narrative in over the top regarding the home country's equivalent of the RSPCA being aware of those poor creatures plight in that 'monkey diner'.
Absolutely desperate television. Even if we live in a backwards enough society that allows you to justify this through viewing figures statistics, on the basis of broadcasting power = social responsibility, at least have the decency and self respect to be a little more selective.
