"Brainless" is making people pay for something they neither use or want.

and in other news today, ITV released its latest results which show that although profits are rising, numbers are down on their main channels.

Didn't some here say that ITV was getting stronger again and it was only during the last recession they had a blip. Foul...... They're going one way, downwards. Plus, the media are reporting that BT may make a bid for ITV soon.
