Day 5: "Go diaf, kthxbai"
May. 24th, 2010 09:03 pmDay 05 - A show you hate
Reality shows.
There's nothing I despise more than having gazillions of reality shows that clutter our screens while good quality shows are becoming so few and far between these days. It's like why? What the hell is the attraction to seeing semi-scripted "reality shows" that hardly serve much purpose? Like okay, I do have a few guilty pleasure reality-based shows, but otherwise I don't get the appeal. I want to see drama between characters in an actual storyline, not overly melodramatic people bitching at each other making fools of themselves on national television. And people wonder why so many shows with potential are being canned, it's because our society wants drown their brains with stupid reality bullshit.
Other than that there really isn't a show I outwardly hate because if I don't like a show, I don't watch it. Simple as that. *shrugs*

Now granted there are certain reality-based series that aren't that bad, but the main ones are those that are just so shallow and ridiculous and it really shows how self-centered and stupid America really truly is. It's just so much second-hand embarrassment, I can't even.
I feel like I need to cleanse my brain from such stupidity.
