Channel Four Wife Swap programme

[Spacecadet]

The US version of wife swap is terrible, even comes with a disclaimer that some situations are staged for entertainment.
I think the worst aspect of the programme (US version still) is that all the couples taking part seem to have some sort of agenda they want to promote, family business, band, bizarre views on life and they use the programme as a means of advertising it.

eh ?

how did you read into that from what I said ?

amazing how sensitive a subject this is an any touching this subject and the are out immediately

jeez calm down

Milan.

Actually, the way you wrote it made it easy to read that into it... that it was surprising the white couple were ****s and the black couple were nice. I don't think that's what you meant, though.

maybe it's 'cos I said it was an eye opener, I mean't that in the respect of how people live, the conditions they live in, how they survive and bring up their children, it was not intended to mean an eye opener to the difference between the standards of the races, it was quite shocking how the one couple and their children were living and they were on the edge of divorce at the end

i wonder what would have been read into this had the description been a couple from up north and a couple from down south i wonder if the thought would have been so sensitive

oh well,

Milan.

at the hotel this morning, while brushing teeth watched the UK version of Wife Swap programme from Channel 4.

The two couples were from Laaaaaaaaaaandaaaaaaaaan,

one was a black (am I allowed to say that, my coloured friend says I am) couple and one was a white couple

what an eye opener it was, at the end, the white couple were on the edge of divorce !!

the white couple's 18yr old daughter was the most foul mouthed young lady one could ever wish to meet

the black couple were exceptionally dignified and had well mannered children

anyone else seen any funny ones ?

Milan.

The programme is an hour long. Did you brush for an hour? Ouch.
