ghosty crap

Last night we watched the pilot episode for a new series with Jennifer Love Hewit... "The Ghost Whisperer" It's really an 'Abby' type of programme. Supernatural, pretty women and prettier men, a bit of suspense. It's been advertised for weeks on E4.
Well I have to say I wasn't surprised to find it a bigger load of crap than 'Most Haunted with Delboy Acorah"
Image Hosted by ImageShack.usThis week saw Miss LH getting married, having her dead Brother-In-Law at the ceremony happily toasting the new couple.
Then this ugly dead looking soldier turns up and refuses to believe he's dead. Miss LH tells him he is indeed as dead as a doorknob and he gets upset and has a message for his son, she dutifully passes this message on. This said son reasonably tells her she's a nut and to bugger off... But within 1/2 hour realised the error of his stupid ways... After all how could Miss LH be anything other than the 'real' thing? Then there's this touching scene when he 'feels' his dads arm around his shoulders and suddenly you know everything's gonna be just peachy in his life.
The soldier finds out his wife died about 20 years ago (funny how he didn't know that being in the spirit world and all that'
There's this quaint bit at the end when he decides it's time to 'Step into the light' (that bit has always worried me when in the lighting department of B&Q) and he notices his dead wife on the edge of the light beckoning him.
"It's my wife" He gushed to Miss LH "She's calling me... Damn she's as beautiful as she was 30 years ago"
Now there's a quandary. Isn't it lucky his wife hasn't remarried or anything...Or had a succession of boyfriends and lovers.
"There's my former wife, surrounded by her many husbands... I'll go take my place in the queue" just doesn't go as well.
When it comes to this Christian heaven bloody crap... It's always perfect. You're always transformed into the age you want to be. 21 again and firm toned skin... Without the need for Oil of Ulay. Too fat? Too thin? Receding hairline? Nah not in heaven. Step into the light and all your imperfections will be perfectified, like the best plastic surgeon EVER!. There's no worry, no sadness, who cares you've just left your 6 children and cat without a mummy. You just know you'll be together in eternal happiness soon enough. Hmmm not sure about the cat though? Do cats go to this 'heaven' or have they got their own where the fish are there for the catching and worms and fur balls are no more?
Heaven to me is a back to back marathon of Big Brother.... Minus ugly belching vile Jayne of course.
Wonder what 'heaven' would make of that character?
I'm not watching Miss LH again, unless very drunk and bored beyond comprehension... or to take the 'P' out of it here for you my very own readers.
Chow.. and keep cool.
