Some time ago they got one of these TV executives to answer some questions about why the volume is increased during TV ads. The ponce sat there very smugly and said "Actually, there is no way we can alter the volume controls on your TV set. When the advertisements come on, your volume settings remain the same. So we are not guilty of changing the volume on your TV set."

Yep.

He then went on with some technical mumbo-jumbo about volume intensity vs volume itself and he managed to skirt the issue. I'd like to tape a bullhorn to his left ear and shout "ARSEHOLE!!"

Ja, we should entrust him to the gentle graces of Karlos and Bloodline. I'm sure between the two of them they can sort out his smugness.

 :lol:

Don't start me on Mr Simon Cowell. He is a sack of pus even when involved with things not musical. Do you remember how ungrateful he was when Top Gear gave him a trophy for going around their circuit in the fastest time as Star in a Reasonably Priced Car?

Here's how you deal with a ponce like that:

You strap him onto one of those rocket sleds that they test bunker-busting missiles with in the desert. You tie him onto the rocket and tell him he's about to be the fastest motherf*cker around. Then, just to make sure he's as glam as he can be, you pull his pants down, sprinkle some glitter on his arse, start the countdown and roll cameras. Points are awarded to the rocket engineers as follows:

1 POINT: Cowell remains strapped to the rocket as it breaks the sound barrier, but he is not on board when the rocket hits the test wall.

2 POINTS: Cowell comes off the rocket but still strikes the test wall.

3 POINTS: Cowell remains strapped to the rocket right up until impact.

Bonus points are awarded if the wind shear peels his scalp or his cheeks off, and maximum points are awarded if any glitter is found on the other side of the test wall.

Edit: if there was a way to play that Crazy Frog ringtone in his head (above the noise of the rocket) I would make sure that was the last thing he heard as the acceleration pulled his intestines out in a ribbon behind him just before impact.
