Why is she talking funny?
Sat, 09/01/2010 - 10:41 by Mr. HM

For some inexplicable reason, the BBC paid Lindsay Lohan to travel to India and record a documentary about child trafficking. No, us neither. Anyway, the trailer is out there and it's every bit as ridiculous as you would expect.

Now obviously child trafficking is a horrible, serious topic that does desperately need worldwide exposure and aid - but why the BBC thought Lindsay Lohan would bring anything to the table is beyond me. Of all the people they have at their disposal they choose someone who slept with Calum Best.

Check out the clip - it's like one of those Comic Relief 'skits' with Ricky Gervais ironically taking the piss. It's all a bit "So these kids are like, so in trouble and that is like so wrong I'm going to dedicate my life to helpi...oo...sparkly shoes!"

Best bit at 0:55, when the "just arch the brows, look her up and down and be serious" look comes into play, when she obviously hasn't the first fucking clue what's going on:

What's next? Alan Carr in a hard hitting exposé on Mexican cocaine smuggling?

Actually, that really does sound bloody amazing.

  • Looks like a BBC3 Documentary to me, can't get the kids intrested unless some celebrity wankstain presents it. Should be ok when Harry Hills royally taken the piss out of it.

  • Blart, I shared your outrage, initially. Then I heard that the Beeb have also commissioned the ginner from Girls Aloud to do a documentary about fake tan. Or sunbeds. Or something. Anyway that changed my mind. Here, Aunty, have my £142 to carry on making such ace telly.

    Ugh.

    (To be fair, the license fee is worth it for Heroes, Being Human and everything Attenborough. Also, some unintentionally hilarious documentaries on BBC4. Good for when one is particularly hung over or bored.)

  • Blart - firstly it is stretching my credulity to believe that you are, have been or ever will be a TV 'licence payer'.

    Second, I will not hear you talk about Fiona Bruce in those terms. Say sorry.

  • As a fucking licence payer and therefore by default a fucking shareholder, I want to know why the Beeb have a fucking coke addict and self-abusing whore on their payroll. Jesus, I'd rather have had some desperate ex-Corrie slapper out there

  • At least someone's paying her.
