Shooting fish in a barrel
Article Abstract:
Television presenter Louis Theroux does not personally like making ordinary people appear idiotic, although he finds that form of comedy very amusing. He feels that vulnerable, sensitive people should not be humiliated by those from the mainstream of society. He finds it hard to define his 'Weird Weekends' series, in which he interviews those on the periphery of US society. The series is sometimes comedy, sometimes documentary, and also combines elements of character study and celebration of difference.

You need to work on a lot more than your abs, Peter
Article Abstract:
Pop singer Peter Andre seems to have been misguided in deciding to adopt a more mature image. He is now trying to appeal to an older audience, but may find it difficult to do so because he is so closely associated with younger fans. His second album, 'Time,' will be a watershed in his career. It seems to have mass appeal to neither younger or older pop music fans, and its relatively poor performance may force him to reconsider the direction of his career.
