"Reality" TV

I found this picture on a blog I like- it’s by Portia Makoma, and she finds the coolest of random things…

This is for all those people who so avidly watch these reality TV “stars” drinking, wearing sunglasses indoors (and sometimes even at night), trying to make bad hairstyles a trend, fighting with their useless boyfriends and girlfriends, spending ridiculous amounts of money shopping for equally laughable “I have to have this!” items, and just generally wasting valuable life hours on silly stuff. Think about this picture next time you waste an hour of your own life on these shows.

I don’t mean that we should all watch CNN all day, or anything. I mean, I can’t judge anyone who watches The Hills , or anything else like that, because I myself watch Running In Heels and Jerseylicious (something about how unbelievably stupid those grown women are just keeps me tuning in week after week- I can’t seem to help it), but what I can say is this: don’t let it get to the point where you’re copying the characters’ (the “reality” of reality TV is actually scripted- I’m convinced of it) fashion, and going around creating fake, unnecessary drama in your life because you’re so engrossed in the lives of some American psychos. It’s just not healthy.

[Thank goodness for PVR though, right? Because after this I’m going to watch Baldwin Hills – it’ll be like I never missed a thing. ;)]
