And the winner of stupid remark of the week is...

I don't share the fascination many newspapers have with reality TV shows - so we tend to play it cool about the likes of I'm a Celebrity and X Factor in the pages of the Daily Post.
We did get behind the Blaenau lad when he got through to the final of Big Brother but other than that I don't think there is enough readership interest to merit more than a few paragraphs.
Certainly the circulation struggles of the red top papers, who fill their pages with reality TV news, seems to support my theory.
But this doesn't mean I don't watch them - and if the comment Louis Walsh made on Saturday night's X Factor had been directed at a North Wales contender, I would have picked this story up and stuck it on the front page.
What happened? A woman from Glasgow came in to audition. She sang beautifully, she looked great. She fitted the bill perfectly. Louis also thought she sang well - but said he was "surprised". Why's that Louis? - why is it surprising that an attractive young woman can sing well? Surely his surprise had nothing to do with the fact that she was in a wheelchair? (she had broken her back falling from a tree as a child).
If you want another example of stupid or cruel prejudice look no further than today's Daily Post where brave teenager Kirsty Perkins tells how she is fronting up the bullies who used the internet to poke fun at an attempt she had made to take her own life ( a course of action which had itself been driven by bullies). Hats off to Kirsty for having the guts to go public - she's brave as her tormentors are cowardly.
And what the hell are the people who run the website Bebo playing at? Don't they care that it is being used as a new form of torture? There's no limit to the resourcefulness of cruel children. They quickly latched on to mobile phones to send hate texts. Then they used the video functions of their phones for "happy slapping" - filming acts of violence (S4C's Rownd a Rownd picked up on this just the other day). Given the chance the bullies were bound to exploit a community site like Bebo, used by thousands of British schoolkids. Its owners should be less greedy and start bringing in some staff so they moderate content before it goes online.
