True dat. Never understood that attitude.

The UK's slave labour program hits a new low.

Every time I see an advert for Piers I want to smack him. They take the shot with his nose sticking up in the air, looking ever so pompous.

I don't know the guy from Adam, never watched, but those ads turn me right off.

OH, here's the pic. Bleh.

Me too! I don't know the ad you are talking about, but I hate his face.

Plus, he refuses to answer how he knows about private conversations that were hacked from Paul McCartney's cell phone. The guy is a crook or is protecting crooks.

Crook.

We don't have the 5th Amendment over here, so journos either lie or shut up. It means the same anyway.

Crook.

You know, regarding that portrait, I think it's the camera angle that makes him seem like such a smarmy prick.

Most portraits are taken at the eye level. This one is taken at the level of his Adam's apple, so you have to look up at him and he's looking down at you. I have to assume this was his idea.

Pic ads like on cnn.com, to get us to watch the show. That's the main pic I've seen used.

It's not working, for me.

He's pretty much universally despised over here.

DanaC · 06-06-2012, 11:01 AM

Few years ago on the old format Room 101, in the final show, Ian Hislop wanted to put Piers Morgan into the room.

Sundae · 06-06-2012, 11:02 AM

I knew there was a reason I wanted to bed him.

DanaC · 06-06-2012, 11:09 AM

I'm assuming you're referring to Hislop ?:P

He's one of my favourite people off've the telly. So clever, clever.

Sundae · 06-06-2012, 11:12 AM

Well, not Morgan!

I liked Room 101 with Nick Hancock, personally.
I'm a stickler for the original.

DanaC · 06-06-2012, 11:16 AM

I liked them both. Always had a bit of a soft spot for Merton.

Incidentally, did you catch that Mark Lawson interview with Hislop?

Missed that, so thanks.
Need to find a different recording though - even with both volumes on max it's too quiet for me to understand.

DanaC · 06-06-2012, 11:25 AM

No. He really is that much of a smarmy twat.
