The likes of Morecambe and Wise travelled the length and breadth of the UK for years performing in Music Halls serving their "apprenticeship" to hone their act before they got anywhere near being "stars" or "celebrities". Today some brain dead "reality" show contestants literally become "stars" and "celebrities" overnight because other brain dead viewers send a text message to vote for them. For instance what is Stacey Solomon supposed to be? She is definitely not pretty, seems to be unintelligent, and as far as I can see does not act, sing or dance. Some females used to make a career from being "pretty", Ms. Solomon hasn't even got that "quality".
Couple of comedic legends MnW, Ant and Dec try to be them but they couldn't lace their boots. Eric Morecombe mentioned Roker and Sunderland in a Christmas special in the 70s. I could never get away with Lee Evans because he was just ripping off Norman Wisdom. Evans was all the rage when i was in the first year comp but I was brought up on tapes of Norman Wisdom, Marx beothers ect so I always found the "newer bunch" unfunny. I love Bill Hicks and George Carlin, Connolly etc

There is an absolute litany of Mags behaving like infant school pupils on the internet, small minority of normal human beings follow that club
