I really don't understand why some fans think of the presenters and BA's as friends but I know some folks do think that way. I understand that there are sadly, some extremely lonely people out there, who need human interraction, it is a basic human need. It must be very hard for those who don't have friends and family but there are services out there who offer real help for the lonely. I don't consider people who get me to part with my money (for a living), to put money in their own pockets ultimately, to be my friends.
I don't know if anyone watches Gemporia video's called "From the Gemporia sofa"? There is one lady they regularly feature who my heart goes out to. She is alone and has bouts of insomnia, so she puts the telly on. That's great, do it myself but she goes on to say that she likes that she can interract with the channel and communicate with somebody. She does say that you don't have to buy anything but I am 100% she buys a lot when she gets a personal response from the channel. Gemporia is obviously a big part of her life and afterall, she was filmed on their sofa during a studio tour. They are preying on the we are all friends and family crap. There is another lady whose name begins with M who is always being quoted and they chat back and forth with her. I am sure she is a lovely lady but it just sits wrong with me.
QVC do the same rubbish with the family and friendship nonsense. Like others have said, presenters should encourage charitable giving, not the message they are sending, which is basically send us gifts and cards, we love it. I wonder if they ever do write back to their friends / fans? I doubt it, just give them a shout out on telly, make 'em feel special and maybe they will keep sending the goodies. Greedy sods! Q used to do the breast cancer shabang every year, if they did it this year, I missed it. Maybe I was working, anyone know if they did?
Anyway, I consider you good people here would be better friends to me than anyone on a selly telly channel xx
