Should I Be Worried?

[the_great_she_elephant]

I am a bit concerned about Mr. Elephant - he watches 'Housos' and thinks it's funny.

I am more concerned about my SIL - she watches it and thinks it's a documentary.

I think it's meant to be both.

I had to google to see what it was. It sounds like they are both right but your husband is more right. 

What night is it on?

My OH watches it and thinks it's hilarious, She-el. I agree it's hilarious but oh so foul-mouthed and depraved. It's like watching a train wreck, you know it's awful but you can't stop looking lol,

I  LOVE Housos  

- it is so true  (unfortunately)

-  I see this end of society at my work regularly.

-  Recently I had a mother and her son -  I was interviewing them, and all I could think of, was - Beryl and Dazza  !!!

- Neither of them were particulalry bright and both were on pensions and had never worked, and will never work

or contribute in any way to society.   They could have been  on the series and fitted right in.

And remember, after Housos was filmed, the people living in the houses used for the series were interviewed, and were worse  than the ones on the show !!

from wikipedia

Housos is an Australian comedy television series created by Paul Fenech for SBS, that screens on SBS One. The series is a satirical parody of low income Australian residents of fictional suburb Sunnyvale, who are living in Housing Commission public housing. On November 1, 2012, a film based on the series was released in Australian cinemas, titled Housos vs. Authority. On September 10, 2012, SBS announced that Housos will return for a second season, which will air July 22, 2013.

TGSE , It is satirical parody.If your Sister is in the UK and she and other people OS think it is a doco ...as an Aussie I think that is a worry.

Laughing at the socially disadvantaged.?

[dskracing]

It is funny and to a point true......if it is thought of as a doco Iza...well I am sure it is based on a teensy bit of fact...lol

Eddie Murphy did a cartoon series called The PJ'S based on ghetto life....very very funny

time to stop so much political correctness and have a laugh now and then

[izabsmiling]
