Reality Shows
by Heferito

I am getting pretty well sick of the seemingly endless wave of reality shows that are assaulting my sense of taste lately. Every time I hear someone talk about or make any reference to one of them I feel my stomach start to twitch as the build-up of bile begins. God I hope I don't have another reality-related vomit episode like I did 2 nights ago. In case you didn't know, the Joe Millionaire finale episode was on.

What I find to be the most perplexing about this trend of reality shows is that it seems like nobody will live up to that fact that they are the ones watching them. Come on people, Joe's finale drew an average 34.6 million viewers. The audience soared to 40 million in the second hour. All I can say to that is that you people are fucking pathetic. I mean seriously, what the hell is wrong with your brain? If you're not going to have the balls to tell your buddies at the water cooler that you watched a show, then do yourself a favor - Don't. Try reading. It may hurt your brain at first, but just like any exercise that you're not used to it will get better with practice.

Another of my favorites is The Bachelorette. Let's just think about this for a moment. This girl is getting paid to make out and sleep with a bunch of different guys. The last time I checked there was already a name for that kind of job, and it didn't involve getting your own TV show. Let's face another reality check here: She is a highly trained professional whore, just like the ones you see with Charlie Sheen and Eddie Murphy! You may say "but she gets to pick which one she keeps in the end." Whoopie-doo, does she get to pick which STD's to keep too? Syphilis is the gift that keeps on giving.  At least she will have an itchy rash and discharge to remember them all by.

The only way that the networks are ever going to put on shows that you can admit to again is if you stop watching the reality crap. What ever happened to good clean fun like The Dukes of Hazard? Remember talking about Daisy Dukes shorts and Uncle Jessie's moonshine? Now there's a show you can be proud of!
