Live and dangerous – Jim Carrey

Live broadcasting is exciting, challenging and dangerous.

Things can go wrong, strange things can happen.

In recent times, this must rank as one of the stranger things.

Jim Carrey plugging a movie on French TV turned into … well,

Underground, but clear to see

There’s been a bit of coverage in recent days about alleged “double lives”, “sleazy” sexual goings on, “swingers” and “underground worlds”.

All this intermingled with tragedy.  It’s a potent mix … or is it ? 

The media, certain parts of it anyway, get their freshly ironed and never soiled knickers in a considerable knot about things like this.

But, for one cotton picking moment, can some scribblers and columnists pause and consider this: reality is messy, mistake ridden, silly, profound, difficult, sexual, contradictory … and a hell of a lot more besides.  It is seldom black and white, however much many would wish it to be.

A bit more honesty and a little less purience would be good.  Some respect also.
