厨艺大师(美版)第七季

　　讲我们中国的兵器！
　　铁爪子，流星锤，鹿角剑等等。古代的兵器从外形与设计方面经历了重大变革，纵然他们的功用只有一个——杀人。这些源于我们中国的兵器，成为了世界上顶尖暗杀者的秘密武器，且威力无穷。有些兵器更是彪悍，比如说铁链鞭，钩镰枪等等……

　　A 70th anniversary television event, Singapore 1942- End of Empire tells the story of those early shocking days of the Pacific War when belief in security and comfort from empire collapsed. For the first time this momentous 20th century battle, and its equally dramatic aftermath, will be told from a multi-national perspective, revealing new and challenging insights into a battle that turned our world upside down. Whilst the Japanese victory confirmed how useless it was for Australians to rely on Britain for their defence, post-war Australians looked to another great protective power - the United States - to align itself with. And Asian nations would rapidly determine their own destiny and seek a tumultuous independence.

　　This show is quite possibly the biggest waste of videotape, electricity, and RF bandwidth in the 70+ year history of television. It's nothing but 60 minutes of some of the worst bile that can come out of human beings, male or female. Basically, it's nothing but pure bitchy, catty, c*nty, vile harpiness among the contestants, judges, and the fashionistas (or should I say fashionazis). Typically a lot of insulting, backbiting, and bitchy, unnecessarily anal-retentive criticism.
　　The thing that gets me about the show is how much the judges and fashionazis (and the pretentious & shallow fashion industry in general) nit-pick against the equally bitchy contestants about little, petty, trivial, frivolous, anal-retentive things about their appearance, personality, etc. Things that the *REAL* people in this world (which the fashion industry lacks, thankfully) wouldn't give rat's ass number 1 about. (Myself included.)
　　Crap like: "Oh, your left eyebrow is a yoctometer off center. That isn't gonna fly, and nobody will take you seriously in this industry because of it!" Or, "You're breathing wrong. Good luck with winning this competition." I'm just kidding here, but they usually end up saying things almost exactly like this on this show.
　　If getting into the fashion industry is this hard, painful, bitchy, insulting, nit-picky, catty, backstabbing, and anal-retentive as this show tries to portray, than thank the good Lord that He made me all fat, balding, hairy, and dumpy-frumpy-dowdy-frowsy-geeky-lookin', because I would never want to be required to have the caustic bitchiness and anal, pretentious attitude of any model or fashionazi (or any fashion industry worker), namely the people on this show.
　　And Janice Dickinson, mercy, do not get me started on her...
　　This show needs to die. It's this show (and many other "reality" shows like it) that proves that competitiveness (and the fashion industry) is truly the devil's tool...

　　A mix between a traditional quiz show and the card game called Cheat (also known as I Doubt It or Bullshit). We'll see players working their way up the money ladder by answering questions correctly or wrongly. They can and will, get called out, however.

　　本系列致力于探索英国在讽刺文学和猥琐粗俗的幽默上面的传统。
　　第一集 有史以来最讽刺、下流、猥琐、无礼的历史
　　本片从18世纪早期的乔治王朝统治时期入手，给大家展示全国性的公开粗俗，简直让人震惊！贺加斯，吉尔雷，罗兰生，克鲁克香克笔下的绘画，以及约翰·盖伊和亨利·菲尔丁笔下光怪陆离的戏剧世界会让我们大开眼界。歌手露西·斯吉平会带我们一览乔治王朝粗俗下流情歌的盛况。我们还会从蒲伯，斯威夫特，拜伦以及斯特恩入手，研究一下那个时代脏话的文学起源。
　　第二集 荤段子与艳照
　　在维多利亚时期严谨，纯洁，禁欲的价值观中幸存下来的英国讽刺文学和猥琐粗俗的幽默传统，是如何在20世纪前半叶得到了繁荣发展？我们回去调查由摄影技术引发的道德恐慌，因为火辣的照片变得唾手可得。我们还会去关注由早期连环画经典形象Ally Sloper所存在的那个粗鲁又讽刺意味鲜明的世界。最后，咱们要去看看码头上的西洋景以及唐纳德·麦吉尔的明信片艺术中如何催生出了海滩上的猥琐文化。
　　第三集 猥琐到极致是谓无敌
　　关于英国讽刺文学和猥琐粗俗的幽默传统的探索将会把视线转向20世纪60年代出现并持续至今的大众民主式的粗鲁野蛮。我们将会探索复兴的粗俗政治漫画，Viz杂志中的滑稽艺术，乔·奥顿的剧院，霍恩周围的无线电广播，以及地下杂志Oz。电视上粗俗的历史可以从《永不分离》追溯到《小不列颠》...最后我们要关注，性别歧视者和种族主义者是如何看待这些粗俗喜剧的。
