Reality TV
Sparked by hearing my husband channel surfing...
What is there that is real about reality tv? It's as hoaky as televised wrestling. I mean, really. A group of women auditions and then finds themselves vying for a bachelor and the wedding of their dreams? A group of people audition for the chance to compete to be the newest 'find' for the musical scene? And, who could forget those castaways who are forced to survive and not get voted off the island? Oh, and let's not forget 'Real World' and its clones. Yeah, that's a real world all right...getting picked to go live with a big group of strangers in some multi million dollar mansion while you're 'suppose' to be fulfilling some 'job'. Like you ever saw them doing this job! It was all about screwed up relationships and who was drinking too much and who was a bitch and who was boffing who. Sound like your college dorm?
Face it. Reality tv is Unreal. It's all about media marketing. It's about what sells on tv. What's hot. The media moguls know that sex, drugs, and rock and roll still sells and sells big.
As for me, I don't watch tv hardly at all. I'll break down and watch Food Network or Gunsmoke reruns or an old classic movie, but not very often. I'm just not in to watching other people's disfunctionality. It's depressing, disgusting, and boring. It's a waste of my time.
Whoever named it the 'boob tube' was right on target in my book.
