A guide for girls?

Is the reality television programme The Only Way Is Essex turning British girls into an army of feckless, drunken, sluts who are perpetually up the duff and care about nothing more than alcohol, drugs and money? Or were they of that disposition anyway? The Girl Guides blame the repulsive TOWIE, having commissioned a survey that showed young girls were more admiring of the lifestyle of the venal air-headed bints on the show than they were of more improving pursuits.

I’m not so sure. It is a nice thought that, without TOWIE, our young females would all be beavering away trying to get a job as head of the Human Rights Commission, or the Howard League for Penal Reform, but I doubt it very much. And I suspect that, given a choice, Lord Baden Powell would prefer young women to behave much as they do in TOWIE, rather than being Cabinet ministers or women priests. Insofar as the strange old chap considered women at all. Dyb dyb dyb, etc.
