I'm not afraid to fall; it means I've climbed up high.

I promise and I deliver. You're getting your second part of the TV rant. Today's items: Teenage Soap Operas and Reality TV.
Let's do the teen dramas first. They are wrong! I used to be a big fan of "Life as We Know It", but after four episodes I was all like, "ick." Most of these shows are all about sex, and in "Life as We Know It," it is, for the most part, sex without love. Sure, they may have a mutual liking of each other, but they don't LOVE each other. Gah...now I sound like some crotchety old aunt.
Another thing about these shows is that they also lean towards the "poor little rich girl". Every girl on one of these shows seems to be some rich, pretty blond thing who weighs less than 90 pounds and has an IQ of a banana peel. They're full of angst, and, as teens, we have enought of it, without being reminded of it in a TV show.

Now to Reality TV. Most, if not all are RWR (Reality? What Reality?). If you have ever watched "Project Runway", you'll see at the end, after the credits three paragraphs that they take off the screen so fast you can't read them. Well, the first line of that was something like how they talk to the producer and director of the show before they let anyone go. This means that they'll keep the most flamboyent ones so people will keep watching the show, even if their clothes suck.
I also have a problem with the "For Love or Money" type shows. Those shows are just absolutely sick and twisted. Another thing is, if the all go around sleeping with each other, why would you want to do it on national television? Gross.

Did you know the guy on last season's "The Bachelor" had herpies?

I don't think we'll ever get a true REALity show. They're never completly real-not even "Survivor". They're not stranded on an island...they could leave if they wanted to. (Yes, you can request to leave, even if you don't get voted out or fall into a fire.) But what I'm saying here is that you could just put these people in a giant light house or something...an it'd still be the same.
Sometimes I wonder what makes us want to watch these shows. Maybe it's just fun watching people be evil, stabbing each other in the back, and saying to ourselves we would never do such a thing.

Suuuuuure. But when a camera's in your face, you will say things and do things that you wouldn't ever do before that glass lens was pointing at you.

I guess since I'm off my rocker for now, I'd better sign off. Adios and all that.
