Society has, one must sadly conclude, move another notch closer to the silly direction. Apart from the cursory nod in the direction of Big Brother (which Orwell should really sue), say I from my lofty middle-class pretentious pinnacle, two recent evidence spring to mind.

1. Channel Ten’s astute marketing of the program ‘House’. The advertisement advised viewers to tune in to watch the confrontation between House and Vogler, adding that by the end of the show, one must go. Geez, I wonder who it will be?

2. Woman’s Day (always a source for silliness) article which suggests that Princess Mary’s and Prince Frederick’s baby could belong to Jesus’ bloodline based on the evidence of the Da Vinci code. Wonder if the writers/editors at Woman’s Day has twigged that the Da Vinci Code is a work of fiction. Hmmm.
