BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

TV3's Target tonight once again 'exposed' tradesmen who, while purportedly coming to your house to fix things, indulged in all sorts of other activities like (gasp) drinking water from your tap, undertaking repairs without turning off the electricity and, turning back on your computer! The thing is with this programme, the advertising it does to drum up viewership and the cult following it is gathering because of its salacious content especially re. underwear drawers (see http://theconfusioncronicles.blogspot.com/ 'keeping your undies safe) to see what I mean.

The overbearing and holier-than-thou commentary in Target is hard to take. In tonight's episode they rabbitted on about earth continuity tests, RCD connections, level outlets and insulation resistance tests - blah, blah, blah when everyone really wanted to know was whether the electrician was going to go straight to the bedroom, find the KY jelly and slick up in it while putting the panties over his head.

Salaciousness sells!. So, what are we really seeing here? An expose of what is really good value from tradesmen? What is good workmanship? Or, has he masturbated yet in the knicker drawer?

I wonder if, instead of the 'honey-trap' actor employed as the house owner we had someone's grandmother playing the part, whether the tradesman would really want to see inside the underwear drawer?


Maybe, if women are so worried about curious tradesmen, they should go the no-panties way.
