Subject: RE: I actually watched Honey Boo Boo hamiltks10 - 2013-01-16 12:47 PM TriRSquared - 2013-01-14 3:16 PM And yet they are being celebrated on reality TV. I feel like this is the theme these days...celebrate the losers and low-lifes and do everything possible to beat down those that are successful. RE: Reality tv...if we have the TV on in our house, we are either watching sports or Mad Men (or these car shows that my husband likes). We have gone without cable before and were just talking about getting rid of it again. There are hundreds of channels and NOTHING good to watch. It feels like such a waste of time and money. i think the effect of these shows is not to celebrate the low lifes, but to make the viewer feel better about themselves. No matter how messed up your life, family, or whatever....may be, you're never as bad as THOSE people. |
