Parky blasts The Apprentice
Added: (Tue May 01 2007)
Veteran broadcaster Michael Parkinson has savaged the �vulgarity� of hit reality show, The Apprentice.
The chat show host labeled Sir Alan Sugar�s high-profile search for a thrusting business executive as �confrontational vulgarity�.
�I find that kind of television offensive,� he tells Heat magazine. �That kind of TV is responsible nowadays for a lot of bad social behaviour.
�So, when you see Sir Alan Sugar barking �You�re fired� at people with a kind of smug look on his face, I think it�s fundamentally rude.
�It�s one of those shows based on some kind of confrontational vulgarity.�
