****** WARNING - TIKI BONG OBSERVATION ***** You know, this whole reality TV thing going on, including this type of production, is nothing more than a mirror held up to today's do nothing, lame-ass society in general. What exactly does it say about us when we'd rather sit in front of a television watching other people live their (so called) lives? People we would not even otherwise hang out with or consider their insight to be of any functional use. Jesus Christ (and not in a good way), what are we going to learn from some teenage or 20-something, lackluster pin-head (not that all teenagers or 20 something pinheads are dumbshits), but... What pisses people off most about this type of truth is the fact that it takes NO monetary appropriation to DO something, anything. Watching other people do ordinary things has got to be the single most waste of ones life there can possibly be. In essense, two people (or more depending on number of "prime time viewers"!) are living the life of one. I guarantee that if asked on your deathbed what do you wish you could've done, your answer won't be watch others live, it will be - I wish I could have lived... (now 'move' god damnit!) |
