credit where it's due
In all my nattering on about "A Current Affair," I forgot to mention my favorite segment, a "story" about Prince Charles and his sons.
Have you ever played that game where you put your TV on mute and say stuff for the characters? Stuff that's really out-of-character or nonsensical or 'shippy if you're into that thing. Yes, take that and put it on a news show and you have the segment. And the stuff the writers put into Prince Charles's mouth was not even funny. It was splendidly awful. Awful like, "how the hell did they talk someone into letting them put that on TV?"
I have to say I was impressed by Tim Green's attempt to laugh merrily after the segment was over. Good god, it was so lame I couldn't even have PRETENDED to be amused.
Don't worry, I'm not planning on referencing the show anymore, I just had to get that out there. I'm actually not planning on WATCHING the show anymore. It was fun while it lasted, Green.
