Good satire. I don't understand what purpose is served by these kind of shows which are now too many on almost all Pakistani TV channels.Some of these programmes are interactive but the paticipants rarely have rational answers to the questions put up by the viewers who call at that time.

In UK, there is another brand of tv channels where some mullah is teaching Islam or someone treating illnesses using some mysterious telepower which is supposed to work on the patient at the same time!!

There was one or two hilarious moments in there but that is all. Come on NFP you can come up with much better stuff than this or isn't the music industry not providing you enough material to vent your feelings.

I know our media is acting immature and sensationalizes everything but I think thats a teething stage. It will take it time to achieve maturity.

Even Indian media has similar sensationalism. Ask any indian who was watching during the Prince crisis (a little boy named prince got stuck in a small well).

Even US media not to mention FOX but also including CNN, ABC etc indulge in such sensationalism. A slight maturity is shown by BBC and Aljazeera.

But everyone engages in such things. I mean how else do you expect countless news channels to attract audiences.

Cheer up man. There is a difference between being hilarious and bitterly sarcastic. We need more of the former one but unfortunately what we always get is the latter one.
