Manna for the mindless is a disparaging description of television programmes that do no more than fill up air time. The programmes that are banal, trivial and boring and which, if they were a person, would be described as a WOFS. You know the sort of crap, pretty well all of daytime television, soap operas screened at any time, moronic game shows, chat shows featuring liggers or z-list celebrities, the list just goes on. It is the sort of programme which doesn’t require dumbing down as it is targeted at fuckwits or insomniacs who need something other than drugs to help them sleep.
Before twenty-four seven television was inflicted on a long-suffering human race, manna for the mindless was typified by film serials where the hero always overcame impossible odds to rescue the heroine from an impossible situation and the villain was always defeated. Either that or the Hollywood musical of the 1950s such as Carousel or South Pacific, total shite consisting of totally forgettable songs, stilted dialogue and a non-existent plot.

Get the W for Victory mug."Thala for a reason" is a satirical meme originating in India among cricket fans of MS Dhoni, mocking the extreme adulation of his fanboys who attribute everything to him. It implies that Dhoni's luck is involved in every situation where the number 7 appears, his jersey number, and is humorously used to poke fun at his fanboys. In short, it highlights the excessive admiration for Dhoni and mocks the tendency to attribute his success to divine intervention by saying "thala for a reason" whenever number 7 or anything Dhoni-related appears.
Person 1: "Did you know that India has won international cricket tournaments 7 times?"
Person 2: "Thala for a reason, right? Because his lucky number 7 is always at work!"
