If you think that The Green Man is prone to talking rubbish at times then you are quite correct however The Green Man is a complete amateur when it comes to the completely inane. In this department The Green Man tips his leafy lid to Big Brother. BB has taken the inane and purile and made it an art form.

It is a huge success and that completely mystifies The Green Man. In Australia it is hosted by a middle aged woman called Gretel Killeen who seems to have had a maturity by-pass.

Whilst it is clearly fodder for late adolescent masses there are a number of middle aged men who are remarkably interested in the show as well. They comprise the board of Endemol, the production company that owns and licences Big Brother world wide. They have just given themselves a 9 million pound payrise. (that's A$20.7M or US$14.6M)
