I was beyond redemption and once I got into the Liar Lane, the Lie Train just kept chugging faster and faster. Let’s face it. Out of all the programmes you watch on TV, you will not readily admit to watching 60% of them in a survey or research exercise. No citizen watches Papa Penny Ayee. At least in a survey the ‘no’ is checked by everyone.
But people would tell you how Papa Penny’s English is horrible, his many wives and his goat. How they know this information without actually watching the programme is a mystery that can only be unravelled by top investigation entities. My point is that I'd watch this programme, but I wouldn't tell the researchers. I claimed that I watched a National Geographic special with a name like The 10th Planet Discovered. I claimed that our entire household (including Lucious, who is, legally, a dog) mainly watched the news, National Geographic, Discovery Channel whereas in fact the only remotely educational programming we watched that week was a commercial for funeral cover.
