14. Another twofer

13. Another from Sarah White

12. Not even going to wonder why

Thought I’d look at the YT front page … almost complete reversal … back to familiar topics. Uh huh. One was single mothers, the baggage, or au contraire, the positive according to some men. One topic was horrible “stars of tele in Britain”.

It had all the red flags on the front, the loud, garish banner … one of the comments was “AI slop”. Whoever had written it had learnt hyperbole as a weapon … every sentence contained harsh criticisms of the “star”.

There were twelve starring names but only a few found near universal condemnation in comments, while others were not uppermost in most commenters’ minds but I never liked those “stars” for some reason. One commenter took the writer to task … they were all dead, the “stars”, how creepy to list people who could never reply.

Fair dos but let’s press on. The one near universally loathed was Cilla Black The others had varying degrees of criticism by commenters … Wilfred Brambell (nasty to H H Corbett), Tony Hancock (nasty to all, inc. to Syd James), Leonard Rossiter, Paul Daniels, a few others.

These first three were unpleasant characters anyway onscreen, so hardly different in RL … the others tried to cultivate nice personas.
