BIG FAT GYPSY WEDDING... currently broadcasting on chanel 4 every Tuesday evening at 9pm. It is utter cringe-worthy trash that follows the gypsy culture of the UK in a documentary fashion, showing us their high moral code and a dress sense that would have made Anna Nicole Smith comparable to Kate Middleton. I love it!!!! well almost....
It would be one of the better TV shows around if it didn't premote a girls purpose as a homemaker and more horrifically the method of courtship between these high moralled travellers as nothing less than sexual assult! In each episode they follow the two most important days in a girls life their wedding day and their first communion. Now the wedding days are a little tragic, it is everything a girl dreams of but on steriods with a massive side of meringue.
But the most hilarious part is the first communion......
I have nothing against a culture expressing their religious views and I think the basic morals of how these kids are raised are relatively good in comparison to some. But look at this little girl, she is seven years old and wearing a pink net dress that weighs twice as much as she does!!! We all dream of having a princess dress when we are little but is this going a little too far??
Even though I have these views I am still going to be catching up with this program on a regular basis!!!
