I am sorry faithful readers I have been neglecting my blog. I promise to write more often.
I am not fond of reality TV in general but I have seen Jon and Kate several times because my Daddy likes them, personally I find Kate to be a snarky know it all. Jon seemed an affable goofy henpecked Dad.
I saw the tabloids and kind of thought, oh that poor family, how embarrassing. Then I see a commercial on TV advertising Jon and Kate's first face to face since all the cheating stories were all over the tabliods. So now I see how they roll. For Christ sakes, don't people have any sense of privacy anymore? We can see people withdraw from heroin, vomit into Ziploc bags after purging, pretty much any personal problem has a show. Do we really need to see humanity debased with our evening cocktail?
I don't have any interest in watching something so personal and sad being exploited for a bigger house and a book deal. this is what America is becoming. There is no modicum of decorum anymore. I feel like an alien because I know these shows get huge ratings and I have no interest in seeing people airing their problems on tv.
I have blogged about this before and I am seeing the line get crossed more and more each day. We will absolutely see people die right on camera soon. I know it is hinted at already but I believe the next logical step is executions, accidental deaths, illnesses..all for our viewing pleasure.
Tabloids just 10 years ago were shunned by people when they shot pictures of a dying princess Diana..I really think if that happened now that the pics would be sold for millions and the photographers revered.
I am super happy to report that I don't know the name of the reality show that Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montague are from. I do know they had a fake wedding and maybe a real one two? They are splashed all over magazines and I every time I look at their platinum blond heads and white teeth I think of a butter cream frosted cupcake. Then I feel queasy.
Reality shows are like olestra filled cupcakes..they may taste sweet at first but you will be embarrassed that you succumbed.
