Admit it that title just totally freaked you out! No of course I am not reviewing a vibrator that plugs into your iPod. What do you take me for? Don’t answer that. I just found a review of the imaginatively (sarcasm) named ‘Ohmibod’ over at Geeks.co.uk and I just had to comment. It amused me because I have the mentality of a teenager. Seeing as I quite like that site and don’t want to get the boot I would keep my lascivious comments over her (total freudian typo but I am leaving it in because it amused me, I actually meant ‘here’) and only freak out people who expect it. In other words you guys. You thought I could go no lower after the post about my recent illness. You, of course, were wrong. Don’t read after the break if you don’t think you can handle it.

Even my hamster Neville (yes he is fat) thinks Princess Leia in her slave outfit is hot. Which is unusual as he doesn’t speak that much. It is probably the ultimate geek fantasy for any male geek over the age of 25. Well it turns some geek ladies are pretty into it too. Either that or they have self-esteems so low they let their geek boyfriend pressure them into doing it, which is a depressing thought all round really so will pretend I didn’t type it. New geeky website Geeks.co.uk led me to this site via this story. I think one word sums up that web site (the Leia one) and you know what it is. Awesome! Oh gods I need to get out the house and get laid.

Hannah in Series 1

ITV have confirmed that they have cancelled Primeval. The ailing UK TV channel that is currently desperately trying to get the government to hand over some of the BBC’s licence fee after having to lay off 400 employees cannot afford to keep the show. Primevals ratings have been slipping since the end of series too and its expensive special effects have made it too costly to keep making. Cynics (like me) might suggest it was ITV’s deliberate plan of putting Primeval up against the BBC’s more successful early evening television that has caused its downfall. Like always rather than attempting to maximise their own viewing figures ITV’s management attempt to beat the BBC at their own game and as always lost out. As much as I enjoy Primeval it just couldn’t compete with the likes of ‘Doctor who’, ‘Merlin’ and ‘Robin Hood’. No doubt ITV will put the money they save into 5 new talent competitions or reality TV shows.

I guess the plan of not showing Hannah Spearritt in her undies every episode backfired didn’t it? I mean look at the viewing figures. Series 1 had Hannah in her knickers almost every episode and viewing figures were good. With Series 2 they decided that showing Hannah and her tight little bottom every episode was gratuitous and they banned it. Not dialed it down outright banned it. Showing a monumental miscalculation in the sophistication of the average ITV viewer in the process. Series 2′s viewing figures begin to slide. What do they do to recover? Do they get Hannah’s buns out on display again? No. Do they get Lucy Brown to wear tight fitting tops and ill-fitting bras? No. They get rid of half the cast, dress Hannah like a lesbian and give us some soapy romances instead. They even stopped Juliet Aubrey from flashing her ample cleavage in every scene. So now the show was totally child friendly. I guess the viewing figures revealed who the real audience was.
