When I think of reality TV, I think of the Jersey Shore, of who's the fattest american, of the exploitation of people's situations by themselves and television producers to gain wealth and fame. Of pure, unadulterated, evil. So many people are caught up in this crap it's almost unbelievable, yet another reason that if anything happened to the United States and dropped the standard of living down a couple notches, about two thirds of the country would die. I don't understand how people can be so obsessed about someone else's life, someone who, for the most part, isn't making any difference whatsoever. I can see the point that some people need that little escape now and then. But it's gotten so important that less and less people are noticing the problems, like living conditions on the other side of the world, bombs going off in Gaza, bad stuff man, bad stuff. What does this reflect about the American culture? It says that we, are the fattest, laziest, stupidest, drunkest, unhealthiest, vulgar slobs on the planet. Occasionally it says that we can all pull together to help someone that should have gotten help before a production team found them and put them on Extreme Home whatever. But none of it's doing any good for the whole, it's just making us more dependent on others and their opinions. And I don't like it, and I ain't gonna watch it.
