Should ITV be banned?

Question

Should ITV be banned?
For generally lowering the national intelligence.

Answer

Allen B It isnt merely a distraction that ITV provides to an intellectually enriching activity longterm participation or complete nonparticipation i.e. passiveness in something can make a mind go mouldy. ITV is absolutely disgusting. It is too eager to retain the measly audience share it has now, and has been like that for a while. They wouldnt touch innovative with a ten foot barge pool. Formulaism is manifested in crappy insight shows, shows about pity, vacuous people programmes presented by FEARNE COTTON, amateurish production, and five episodes of Coronation Street a week. If Channel still had a sense of humour theyd sell it the flailing Big Brother and truly finish it.brbrAt the same time, Id rather a lot of people stayed on their sofas rathering than turning to the internet. Too many good forums have already been ruined by the masses. The idea that SimplyUnited mooted was a good one, but it would require all five channels to opt in. People will watch television regardless of what is on, but some people are just inclined to moronic programming. If every provider promised not to do it, the nation would be more intelligent.
