Thanks folks. E! and MTV are nothing to go by, those are the trashiest channels on cable television.

and Patrick, I could make John and Edward an example of how stupid some Irish are...but, to be honest, it's not worth the effort. The US has 5 times more people than the UK, yet the UK is still able to be engrossed by US TV and produce as many Z-Listers. Ireland's claim to fame is U2, the US' is Lincoln, Einstein, JFK, MLK Jr., Rosa Parks, George Washington..the list goes on.
