I know that watching MTv's Splitsvilla will peg me as a loser for the rest of my born days. In fact, I too believed that that was SV's target audience: a bunch of imbeciles with nothing better to do that watch the junk that MTv was dishing out. But now that I am one of those 'imbeciles', I hereby present:
A list of reasons why you SHOULD watch Splitsvilla!
- The superabundance of entertainment. It's got slapping, hugging, stripping and kissing. Bitching and back-biting, mud-slinging and wound-licking.
- These programmes are designed to make you feel good about yourself. While a bevy of hebetudinous young people:
- speak English that makes me want to worship the porcelain God (=want to throw up),
- have their political shenanigans exposed on TV,
- humiliate themselves beyond belief...
you sit at home and crack up at their expense. - It makes for a great conversation piece. Had that awkward moment when you don't know what to talk about or have run out of topics? Here's SV to the rescue! And the best part is, whether people admit it or not, they ALL watch SV. The country is crawling with closet SV fans!
[If you heard the song that the Agnee band sang at Splitsvilla and liked it, here's where you can download it: http://www.4shared.com/network/search.jsp?searchmode=2&searchName=agnee+episode+7
I recommend you download it even if you haven't heard it. It's mellifluous.]
