I hate reality tv

Seriously now the reality tv craze has to stop. It is one of the biggest reasons our society is getting dumber. Don't get me wrong here I have found myself getting sucked into the asinine realm of reality tv. Yet when ever I do I feel myself getting dumber and dumber and dumber. The thing is when we take time out of our day to watch reality tv shows that are primarily fake anyways. Most reality tv shows how people in our society can be petty, trashy, and stupid.

I found myself watching one of these so called reality tv shows tonight at work "Flava of Love 3." Now I myself once idolized the former rap superstar Flava Flav when he was in the Rap Group Public Enemy. But he is taking women from God knows where and putting them in crazy competitions for his love which they will never get because then he is out the money for season 4. Plus if Flava is looking for love why would he be doing it on tv where the girls are probably just trying to get there 15 minutes of fame. Take for example "new york" from shows such as Flavor or Love 1 and 2 and I love New York 1 and 2. This crazy biatch was obviously looking for other things than Flava's love.

I called this whole thing anyways once the show "the real life" came on I said all of tv was gonna be like this. My question is how long until we see the running man come to television fruition. It's a crazy thought but things look like they are headed in that direction.

What about the longest running reality tv show ever COPS! I work in a place where there are juvenile offenders and they love COPS. Is this a good thing for our youth to be watching? Probably not. Why do I let them, they can watch anything on tv except the news. Let's teach them what not to do when they get chased by the cops. Oh well I can't change things with this blog but here is where I stand. Reality tv show has to go.

I do have one favorite show, "the Joe Schmo show" a fake reality show. It was great! If you know me and you haven't seen it ask me and I'll let you borrow it. It's fantastic.

Ok that's all for now I'm leaving work now.

Hey Ben, Yes I do agree at times I do feel dumber for watching reality shows. But sometimes you can't help but be sucked in. I just like to see people make fools of themselves.
