ITV 1 now
 
Why do channels like itv spout bollocks all the time.

If its not "dramas" for divorced 50 year old women on form 8 till 10, its stupid "documentaries" spouting shi1te.

ON itv 1 now is police camera action, and the first ten minutes have been about boy racers, how bad they drive, and how they all want a subaru. So the message they just gave out to joe public is subaru equals boy racer!

Why is it never about the old people i see every day, driving while oblivious to everything around them, causing crashes everywhere they go!

Itv 1 has become as sh1te as the bbc for spouting bollocks!

In fact ive turned it off now cos its winding me up, and the tw@ presenting keeps putting the emphasis on the words "boy racer" while being about 29 himself, what a tit!

^OPM^ 21 July 2008 09:20 PM

Calm down - plenty more channels :thumb:

GC8WRX 21 July 2008 09:24 PM

I know, its just i hate being labelled, thats all!

Missus has turned it back on, and they have just compared "boy racers" to lions and peacocks WTF?

Im glad i dont have to pay for this sh1te unlike the eternally crap, pc, bbc!

GC8 21 July 2008 09:33 PM

20withascooby 21 July 2008 09:39 PM

im sure the guy in that heavily modded supra and skyline was really a boy racer

gemmawilks 21 July 2008 09:43 PM

Ive got to say that I was ashamed yesterday when I reported an incident to the police after being followed by a impreza full of meat heads who then damaged my impreza in an attempt to take my vehicle as the police tried to say that we were compeating as both cars were imprezas, hello to GMP I had my two year old daughter in the car and was a victim of crime were not all idiots and dont need the label of being dangerous and crazy drivers we already pay big costs to drive our cars. :brickwall

BULLITT 21 July 2008 09:48 PM

Its all full of rubbish anyway, I watch this all the time and they're always getting stuff wrong, great research team they have.

They're calling them all "Boy Racers" but so far most of them have just been young lads who have nicked the car, which is pretty much the same thing in a normal edition of Police, Camera, Action, theres nothing new in this one except for the modified cars.

Showing d!ckheads like that kid whos wrecked two cars in his first two weeks of driving isn't gonna help, all they're doing is making him "famous" with his mates. Why would they do it, say its wrong but then promote it through some chav?!

RyanSTI 21 July 2008 09:55 PM

i saw this programme before and it got me wound up back then. not because of the subaru comments, mainly because there labelling every young driver with a banner of being recklass. half of the clips they use are of wankers in crappy cars trying to out run police, there was even a galaxy being glassed as a boy racer! lol

id much rather be on the road with a young lad than an old fart doing 40 in the outside lane.


how olds lewis hamilton again?

340BHP-WRX 21 July 2008 10:06 PM

Police camera action is really a pile of cr*p !

I'd like to know who works on their research team - if they have one that is !

Did anyone else notice the escort they were chasing,they said it was a powerful xr3i when it was actually a 4 door - looked like an escort eclipse or similar to me :wonder:

superstar1 21 July 2008 10:23 PM

Sensationalism, so anybody thats a car enthusiast is now a boy racer, most examples on that programme were criminals end of. Trouble is, anyone that drives a vehicle other than a bog standard shopping trolley is now branded the same.
But this is just the tip of the iceberg compared what we see in the media in this country wether it's global warming and the environment, news that's censored and not giving us the true picture, Afganistan/Iraq. When the shell tanker drivers went on strike a few weeks ago sky news tried to create panic buying by saying that most petrol stations had run out of fuel when in reality shell only supply around 5% of the wole country. And then there's the so-called credit crunch thats also being talked up by the media so everybody is frightened of spending money particularly in the property market. It's all bull**** Britain.

Correct, theres no way on earth that was an xr3i. I guess it just sounded better as its your stereotypical 'boy racer' car. Terrible programme that. Why would you go on anyway bragging about your w@nk driving and even w@nker car. That punto offended my eyes with its 'big boy' exhaust and primered bootlid can someone please put it on barryboys? Nice close ups of your acne aswell you spotty little herbet you will be driving round with chavvy little freind forever now because no bird will touch you with a bargepole. :p

:lol::lol::lol: made me laugh that line did :D

Norman Dog 22 July 2008 12:13 PM

What really makes me laugh is that stupid condescending little cu*t Alistair Stewart has 2 convictions for drink driving himself :lol1:

BBC NEWS | England | Hampshire/Dorset | Drink-driving TV host dropped

GC8WRX 22 July 2008 12:22 PM

Typical fcuking britain, some kunt with TWO drink driving convictions, bleating on about how bad young drivers are.

Conviniently forgetting how bad his own age group is, but that doesnt make sensationalist tv does it?:mad:

martwrxsl 22 July 2008 12:40 PM

The people who were shown in this program are not "boy racers" they are the scum of this country. No job, no license, no insurance, no tax, no brains. No place for them or their scum breeding families. Dig a pit and throw them all in it, they have nothing to offer.

Don't mind the boy racers, with big noisey exhausts who insure, tax their cars and work.

Don't bother watching these programs any more because they wind me up!

:mad:

LOL that applies equally to the doom mongers that inhabit NSR :D :D :D

The Trooper 1815 22 July 2008 04:11 PM

Sadly, stats show that between males, between 17 and 25 yrs old are more likely to be involved in an accident than older people.

Most add bits to their cars, so it becomes "modded", your likely to take risks so become "a racer", and old geezers call you "boys"..............so you all become "Boy Racers".

Only you can change that image not the old geezers or ex-drunken TV presenters.

Ozzy Osbourne, one of the world's greatest drug takers, now an icon and worlds "best dad" to two hugely ****ed up kids.

Old Geezers ..................eh!
