Reality or Fantasy?

   Its 4am and i flick my TV on to find The Real housewives of Beverly Hills on (marathon) and to be honest those shows totally suck and it just made me realize how right my Dad was when he said "Go to your room! too much TV would rot your brain" because that’s exactly how i feel right now

The Sun newspaper, defined a "nonebrity" as "a pointless media figure who would love to rise up high enough to scrape on to the bottom end of the D-list.

 These nonebrities consist mainly of reality TV stars (Snooki and Co)  and lucky shot TV people (Antoine Dodson and Co)

 Okay, Okay i know some people would think this is just a beef post but it really isn’t (ok maybe a little).It just never fails to amaze me how much the human mind is so interested in voyeurism and schadenfreude: a German word that means taking pleasure in watching another person’s misfortune

  Reality TV didn’t become a Global sensation till the early 2000's when shows like big brother and survivor open the eyes of TV execs to the potential in that sort of programming. Suddenly we had shows like The Amazing Race, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model, The Simple Life, and the real housewives of every single state in the US asides Compton lol.

 What makes matters worse, is the idea that all celebrities, talented or not have realized that as long as they have one hit "thing" in their resume they can always live off a reality TV show and our very dear Ryan Seacrest is always eager to produce some flimsy excuse of a show for them. Take for instance Hogan knows best, why would I want to know what hulk Hogan knows? even when I watched the Blondie on WWF while growing up, he didn’t look very smart, always falling for the same folding chair to the back of the head trick. smh. Another one was the Whitney and Bobby one or the Britney and Kevin: chaotic/OMG Britney sucks, I can’t even believe these ideas ever saw the light of day.

  Another sub-genre of this whole reality jargon is the dating type. I am yet to see one that actually makes any sense. It’s just an opportunity to show how far off the reservation the human race has come. This is not to say it’s not entertainment but 10 girls fighting for one guy and the next show you see on after that is Oprah saying some random bull about self esteem and all that.

  From The bachelor to the bachelorette(We were taught that the opposite of bachelor is spinster, come to find out spinster now means an older lady that’s beyond the conventional marrying age)to Farmer need a wife they all have been totally embarrassing and a whisker away from commercial sex on TV more than anything else, but then again in an age where being retarded is celebrated or found funny, take the Ashton Kutchers, Johnny Knoxvilles and Adam Sandlers of this world I guess it’s all the same as good ol'entertainment

  What you would never guess about reality TV is that it’s strictly for profit nothing else, most of these shows are filled with false promises just ask Timmy of west African idol..LMAO! And it’s all scripted! So how real can it be when the most normal people are the first to get kicked out and the crazies usually win. The result is everyone shopping for a reality show regardless of how mundane or embarrassing their lives are hence Whitney and bobby's debacle. Even regular people are not left out in this Reality "hustle" Case in point the Balloon boy Hoax; apparently the father staged the whole thing to get the family a reality show! Pathetic much!?

  Anyways it’s your choice. As for me I think I have had a big bite of reality thank you.

 See ya.. xx
