No doubt you find yourself glancing at 'Good Morning Britain' every once in a while, hearing Piers Morgan saying something offensive and think, "Christ, what an idiot...", before flicking over to something else or just turning the TV off altogether.

Considering how Piers Morgan thrives on attention - good, bad, whatever - this might seem like we're giving him the very thing he wants and lives for. Two petitions have sprung up over the weekend - one calling for him to be removed, the other to keep him - after Morgan crossed yet another threshold in his quest to become the most universally disliked person on TV today. The petition calling for Morgan's removal argues that his rhetoric regarding the LGBT community is frequently dehumanising.

The lengthy statement details Morgan's litany of issues, ranging from his role in the phone-hacking scandals when he was in charge of the Trinity Mirror Publishing Group, not to mention publishing fake photos of British soldiers being tortured during the Iraq War. It also delves into his statements while acting as host on 'Good Morning Britain', examining how he had to be fact-checked on air by one of his co-hosts when he mentioned that car manufacturing wouldn't dwindle in the UK post-Brexit.

All in all, a very reasoned argument for removing him from his position. You can read the full reasoning for the petition here and sign it if you agree. Votes on that petition? 13,730 as of writing.

Now, let's swap over to the pro-Piers Morgan petition. Here's literally what it says: "Keep Piers Morgan for his common sense approach to life. He’s also funny!! He’s not afraid to speak out and says what a lot of us are thinking." That's all it says. Votes on that petition? As of writing, 29,818.

There's probably something smart we could say here about brevity being the sister of talent. Either way, this is what passes for a reasoned argument in keeping Piers Morgan in a job.

Good to know that we can all watch society collapse in on itself in real-time, thanks to the internet. Very cool stuff on a Monday morning.
