Rupert Murdoch: Is he or is he not the Black Angel of Death??

Now it's dwarf date

Think you've seen it all with reality shows? Wait until The Littlest Groom. This show gives new meaning to a mini-series.

- New York Daily News

How low can we as a society sink? So, you think Janet Jackson was scraping the bottom of the barrel? Guess again, y'all. Just when you might begin to think we can see the bottom from here, something comes along to remind us that there IS no bottom. The sad thing is that it's usually the FOX Network that is proving this theorem.

Reality TV could have sunk to a new low - literally and figuratively - with a new dating show for dwarves.

The Littlest Groom features lonely Glen Foster, a self-styled ladies' man who is 4ft 5in tall.

The diminutive celebrity-to-be has to find a wife from 12 pint-sized women.

Tall, slim, blonde British TV presenter Dani Behr will tower over the cast to do a Snow White act as the hostess.

Viewers could be glued to their sets as 23-year-old Foster goes on a series of dates and narrows the field to a 'shortlist' of five. Several women of normal height will then be introduced to the show. Foster will have to choose the woman he is most compatible with for the grand finale.

The show, from America's Fox network, has already run into trouble with the critics. Reality TV pundit Steve Rogers accused the broadcaster of ' sinking low' with the project.

No pun intended, eh, Stevo?? Nice try....

Until jackasses stop making "reality" shows, "reality" shows will continue to cater to the lowest common denominators. Sadly, it appears that there is a market for this sort of "entertainment". Perhaps we should take this as the latest example of the Apocalypse being nigh?

Of course, if you're the FCC's Michael Powell (Super Bowl incident 'new low'), perhaps it's time to remove your anterior from your posterior??

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Janet Jackson's Super Bowl exposure was "a new low for prime-time television," the U.S. government's chief broadcast regulator told lawmakers Wednesday....

"The now infamous display during the Super Bowl halftime show, which represented a new low in prime-time television, is just the latest example in a growing list of deplorable incidents over the nation's airwaves," FCC chairman Michael Powell told the Senate commerce committee.

Yo, Michael; lose the faux righteous indignation and WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CAT LITTER, willya? There is no "new low", as we're all apparently about to be reminded of yet again....

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for this week's episode of "Celebrity Dwarf Tossing"....
