{engage rant in the nature of my own personal taste and not intended to accurately reflect the opinions of anyone else}
WTF is going on.
Suvivor, Temptation Island, Love Cruise, Big Brother, The Chamber, The Box, The Chair, Popstars, Pop Idols, Pop Tarts and a whole stinking morasse of allegedly so reality TV.
Seriously people are you going to let yourselves be sucked in in some bizarre rating war.
Frankly I'm sick of the whole deal here. I have no interest if a bunch of people hand picked to have conflict can carry a large mishapen piece of wood along a beach or what the music industry would like to have us believe are the criteria for picking the next Chesney Hawkes.
Remember him, remember good old Ches, with his biker jacket and mole on the lip? I cannot believe that people are actually falling for this crap.
Firstly the criteria for picking a pop star or a contender for a game show is far more insidious. I don't remember any mention of fuckability on any of these shows. And then they run the marketing at full tilt 'til you've all been fleeced of your hard earned cash.
And you buy it.
Do you really need a Sugar Jones CD? Do you really need to buy a song that will be played to death on the radio and when no one can stand to hear it anymore, it'll be played until some fat back-handing critic will take what's in the box to run them down as talentless hasbeens. Worse than that we'll have to endure Solo Careers and TV Hosting. For what, so that we can be reminded that these people were in a group that we can't stand to listen to anymore.
Yet somehow this makes us want to watch them even more.
Then there's the continuous circualtion of winners and contenders from these so called realities. There's nothing real about this. These people are victims of a continuing set up and manipulated beyond their own thinking.
Have we seen one person on these shows that could be a) a decent roomie, b) faithful to their partner or c) actaully capable of surviving in the wilderness on their own.
I didn't think so.
Quit feeding this crap with your viewership rating and hopefully we might be able to enter and era of quality program development, some decent entries into the popular music sphere and a little less social crapulence.
{end ranting phase}
Thank you for your brief, media stunted attention. Normal programming may now resume. |
