Exam results stress. Anyone think the media increases it?

For those in England and Wales it's A level results day tomorrow, and I just wondered if people think television adds to the stress.
I don't know about you, but fictional characters in soaps (I don't know how many of you watch Eastenders) achieving miraculous grades like 5 As like it was cake is really infuriating to me. When watching it with your parents it just makes you feel guilty if you didn't do so well, parents seem to forget it's fiction.
Also, local news picking brilliant students to open their results live on air or the radio is also particularly annoying.
Oh Oh! AND that damn direct gov advert IT'S EXAMS RESULTS TIME. Yes we know!

Do these things annoy anyone else? Or am I just a big whinge bag :p
