Reason 0008 : Boring TV Programmes

I think the people at MediaCorp should start working harder for their money. Singaporeans pay good money for their TV licenses and MediaCorp keeps coming up with boring programmes such as never-ending shows about food.

I am sick and tired of watching shows about food, be it in Singapore or overseas. I am also sick and tired of watching show hosts exclaiming how delicious the food is. I do not need to hear in miniscule detail what the food feels like in my mouth or what it tastes like. Are Singaporeans so in need of a life that they have time to waste sitting down and listening to people talking about food? Or that we have so much time to go around hunting down eating places?

There are so many food shows giving out food awards to the extent that almost every food centre you go to has at least one stall displaying awards from these TV shows. I have patronised a few stalls which have these awards proudly displayed but the food were prepared not by the owners, as what many people would expect, but by foreign workers employed on a part-time basis. As expected, the food was normal tasting and definitely not worth any award at all.
