OK. Lets look up the definition of the word documentary...
Noun. A movie or a television or radio program that provides a factual record or report.
Which it absolutely did. As long as, I assume, the fake pictures were an accurate representation of what actually happens, and would have resembled the real pictures if they were able to shoot them.
I agree that they should have just been up front about it.
But I still think it's a massive non-story. And that's not ridiculing the point being made, just because I don't agree.
I think that's a fair point regarding the documentary definition. It's just about something being sold as one thing, when it is another.
If you agree that they should have been up front about it, then you agree with my original point.
It comes purely down to informing the viewer. The facade was blatant. And I can't see why anyone would disagree with an objection to it. I have said how much I enjoy the show otherwise.
This 'non-story' has generated a 3 page thread on a forum which is dead on it's arse during the day, so I happily invite other people to post 'non-stories' and get this forum moving a little. 8)
