It's a very silly world

It's a very silly world when an aging personality - 75 years old or so - can sue a television company who have dropped him, presumably because he is no longer the personality, the draw, that he once was.

Point 1, what about all the unemployed tipsters and other luvvies out there who are still of working age? Don't they deserve their day in the sun too?

Point 2, isn't it up to the television companies rather than the courts to decide who is enough of a personality to adorn their screens? Being a personality is not a job for life, it is a passing whim of the lottery for life.

Point 3, what about the waste of expensive legal resources which could be better deployed shoving the creaking cart of criminal justice along a bit further, banging up a few more druggies? At least the judge in the case will not be too prejudiced in favour of oldies, as judges now have to walk at 70. Might have been a different story in the olden days when some of them carried onto well into their dotage.

Point 4, isn't it even sillier than the ladies who are not longer young and pretty whining because they have been dropped from their young and pretty slots? Will the Sun get sued some day by some aging blonde, dropped because her important bits have started to sag too much for even the News Corp. makeup person to deal with?

Point 5, this consumer never liked the chap anyway. Harmless enough, but an irritating phoney. No ornament to my small screen, never mind what size. Hit the flick button.
