I have an antagonistic relationship with reality TV.  It randomly appears on my tele from time to time, I curse its very being, and then I nonetheless allow it to pilfer moment after moment of my life’s breath.  But on occasion something happens that is just too priceless, simply too profound, altogether smashing!  And to these times are owed whatever currency reality TV may possess.  Here is one such occasion from the show Britain’s Got Talent, and do remove the beverage from your lips before watching.

And then there was news:
