277 Gamenation - WTF!?

OK, just flicked on to nation 277's Flipside. 4 people sat around a TV with
Sky remotes flicking around the numbers and talking about what's on other
channels. They are basically encouraging people to tune away and watch other
channels!

No microphone control either, lots of loud coughing and you can hear the
sound from the tv they are watching through earphones they are wearing.

Has TV really come to this. I thought Friendly TV was bad... I mean really.

Reminds me of that old kids show 'Why don't you (just switch off your
TV...)?'

I always did when that came on.
