BBC Click – No we're not an affiliate!

I have a two year old son, so I am no stranger to watching annoying television, a three hour Barney or Teletubbies marathon would be enough to make James Bond crack, but it gets worse than this and I'm talking about Richard Quest on CNN, I am indeed talking about the show 'Click' on BBC World. Someone asked me the other day if my inspiration for this site came from our BBC namesake; hell no!

For those of you not familiar with BBC click, it's basically a 'computers for dummies' type show with a very annoying presenter and often laughable content. I know as someone who works in the IT industry I'm probably not the target audience but still, surely the BBC with its massive resources can come up with something better than this. They're lucky I'm not still in the UK and being forced by the state to pay my TV licensing fees for this crap, otherwise I might be forced to write a very stern letter to my local member of parliament regarding the issue.

Today's show was one of the worst to date, they started off with a five minute piece on the new Apple iPhone, after giving us all the 'inside scoop' the presenter went on to say that once they had managed to get one they would give it a proper review?! We then moved onto a piece about professional computer game teams in Korea, which consisted of a gang of spotty oiks living in a shared house training (playing War Craft for 14 hours a day) who had now gained pop-star status amongst Korean school girls. After the excitement of that piece we moved on to the ever enlightening mail bag, where we had one guy ask if it was a good idea to install XP Service Pack 2, and no this wasn't a 2005 rerun!

Anyway rant over.

Unclick

Click is indeed the worst IT program in the world, ever.

I can't imagine what its target audience is, since the people inept enough with a computer to need it surely can't turn on a TV either.

wrt pronunciation, yes, brits pronounce the word router as "rooter", not "raww-dur".

See also: tomaydo/tomato, aloominum/aluminium, awdormobeel/car.

Hope that helps,

You gotta be kidding,

You gotta be kidding, Richard Quest is easily the most annoying man on the planet. But Click is lame. Also on a side note do Brits really pronounce router 'rooter'?
