AL - // I agree kval, My OH is a very manly man but cried on my shoulder when our cat was killed by a car. //
As a man, I have no problem with showing my emotions, or with any man or woman doing the same.
I have do however have a problem when people are deliberately put into situations of physical and psychological depravation in order to provoke those emotions, in the guise of entertainment.
I'm A Celerity is an extreme example of the emotion provocation so loved by TV audiences, but it is a creeping and growing phenomenon that seps into any programme where 'real people' are involved.
It's not good for the participants, or the viewers, and it should be reigned in on shows where it crops up, like X Factor, and shows like I'm A Celebrity, for which it is a central premise of the entire show, it should be taken off air.
