Remember when TV shows had writers instead of unfunny, adlibbing presenters? Remember when they had cast and crew rather than contestants? Yeah, good, wasn't it? Alas, producers have long since realised that it's far more profitable to invite the terminally self-esteem deficient to flail themselves into a sub-human state of devolution, like primitive man performing a ritualistic dance in order to invoke a quick-fix sense of personal relevence via the medium of being that guy who smashed his face open on that thing on TV.
They gain dubious self-respect. The unblinking sofa morlocks soaking it up with their big stupid fried-egg eyes achieve the same by not being that idiot who smashed his face open on TV. And the whole thing costs around the price of a bag of chips to make. Yay!
And now they're dragging video games into it. Poor old Pac-Man. He deserves better.
