Cat Litter News

Here our snippets of news that we have found interesting, funny, and goddamn scary over the last week:

Going Going Gone

This week came the news that the show that defined the decade for both good and bad is comming to an end, yep Channel 4 has seen sense and is going to dump Big Bro after the next series. Now when big brother started like everyone else here at Frapp Mag we also became hooked on the reality series that would change all reality series but quickly the show became a victim of its own success. In series 1 the contestants were relativity normal ( yes they had been pick by Producers who thought they would make good TV but for TV essentially they were normal) you had builder Craig, our personal favourite Anna, and even Nasty Nick, who made news headlines, had some form of credability about him. There was a genuine social interest and experiment appeal to it, it was exciting and new. Then as each series went by the more it became a parody of itself, the contestants weren't ordinary people wanting to appear in a TV show, they were freaks who had watched the show already, knew how to gain quick fame by being exaggerated characters, after Jade, we had Nikki who was rewarded for being a retard, then Brain did the same and again was rewarded for being a retard. It was no longer a reality TV show because the contestants knew exactly how to behave and to act in order to make a name for themselves. Big Brother showed how such shows exposing those desperately wanting quick fame could become TV gold and now we have the X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent, who pose as talent shows but in the opening weeks are nothing but jumped up freaks shows and we all know it, this will be Big Brother's legacy but the original idea was much better and what a good idea it was.

London News

The biggest gob smacking news came from the fact that at one point this year London fell to 27 in the list of the world's most expensive cities. Yes London!. The Scandivian captials dominant the list with Oslo named the most expensive city of all. London's drop was blamed on the falling value of the pound against the other global currencies. Yet even with this information anyone who lives or has lived in London can't help but been sceptical about this, and so it turns out that if you put travel and property into the mix London suddenly shot back towards the top. So as long as you don't live in property or travel anywhere Londoners have nothing to complain about.

Second London news is that the hottest underground lines have been idenified with the Central and Bakerloo being the one's to avoid on a hot day, yep, we couldn't believe the Victoria line wasn't top too.

Thrid London news is that a man was brutally attack in east London after answering an ad on Gumtree, this is shocking news especially after here at Frapp Mag we spent years treding to various London Counicl estates looking for a room after answering numerous of Gumtree ads.

Manchester News

Soviet Manchester: Reports the Soviet Union planned an invasion of Manchester back in the 1970's by marching tropps down Washway Road into the centre of the city. Now there are those with BNP rhetoric who would argue that it has happed anyway 30 years later but not us of course we much prefer the Polish bus drivers to the Mancuian one's!

Baltimore Manchester: Shadow Home Secrety Chris Grayling has sparked fury by comparing Moss Side in Manchester as being as bad as the ghetto's in Baltimore as dramatised in the TV programme The Wire. Now although the most harden Mancuians probably wouldn't relish being alone in the area late at night we always had the impression that its one of those area's where repretation preceeds reality. I even had to do my driving lessons around there once in front of the gangs, boy that was the quickest 3 point turn the instructor had ever seen. Before i demanded to the next time being done on Pine Road in Didsbury. Anyway former NBA ace John Amaechi says that Baltimore makes Moss Side look like Alderley Edge which means Baltimore must be one hell of a Shithole.
