People Who Like Chris Moyles

Not Chris Moyles himself, I’m sort of ambivalent about him these days. He’s like some sort of mystery skin blemish that you’ve got. One that serves no purpose and isn’t particularly pleasant, but you aren’t going to be able to maintain any sort of displeasure towards it, because it’s just not worth it.

What I do hate are people who really like Chris Moyles or ‘Moylesy’ as they usually call him. How do they get so worked up about him? He’s rarely funny, he’s frequently unpleasant. What’s the appeal? Why object to radio station A which plays bland music with a bland DJ, yet actively cajole colleagues to ‘put Moylesy on’?

I think it’s just that people like to go along with everyone else and being as he has a big listenership they worry that they might miss something. They won’t. There’s nothing to miss. Maybe if I smother them with Chris Moyles’ gargantuan, bloated belly they’ll feel satisfied.
