Concerning Heart.FM and Emma Bunton

Having never listened to Fart.FM until 5 months ago i never actually understood why people took the piss out of it all the time. I never listen to the radio anyway, if i can avoid it, but having started working at a place where it is pumped into the shop every second i'm working, i can now see why people moan about it. I get the feeling this radio station only has about 10 songs on their playlist! Everyday it is the same shit songs being plugged by the same boring presenters. It's always Alexandra Burke singing about how she loves the bad boys so much, JL fucking S telling us to put our hands up if we're in love...i would put my hands up but if i do then nothing will be stopping the blood from pouring out of my ears. Also, if i hear once more about how the Kings of Leon's sex is on fire i think i'm going to set myself on fire.

During the Christmas period you might remember Rage Against the Machine releasing 'Killing in the Name'. Not only did this make me laugh but it was also one in the eye to Mr Music himself...Simon Cowell. Fart.FM only ever played the short SHORT version of this song as apprently it was considered to 'anti-establishment' and therefore we were not allowed to hear the full version. This coming from a radio station who are constantly plugging a song which basically tells young girls that the bad boys are the best kind of guys to be with! Also i've heard N-Dubz on this radio station...the anti-bullying group who bully via text. Again, is this not a little strange? According to Fart.FM it is ok to send the messege out that bullying is acceptable and sleeping with bad boys is the correct thing to do, but hearing a song about how we cannot accept racism in security forces is somehow a bad thing.

To top it off Fart.FM have Emma 'Ice Skating Expert' Bunton presenting some of their shows. I was fortunate enough to catch some of her remarks during the never popular TV programme 'Dancing on Ice'. All she ever used to say was 'That dance was good but for me it was missing something'...she never actually said what the missing something was though! Also, was she there to judge the dancing or just to gawp at the men and then comment on their bodies? Now, if this had been a man, who week in week out had made comments about the womens bodies, would he have been castigated in the papers and by the public watching it? Hmmm, that question has made me start thinking about my next blog/rant. Stay tuned ladies and jellyspoons for more inane drivel.
