Reality TV

When wil it end? This current trend of showing people in their everyday lives on television. Oh wait, is it really reality when you pick seven strangers to live in a mansion and watch them supposedly fight with each other. These shows like The Real World and Big Brother are not reality, a producers job on a reality show is to find out information that could cause controversy and then they exploit it by setting up an argument for the whole world to see. These shows are genetically produced; as one show fails there are five more ready to be put on the air. How can these networks think they have us fooled into thinking these shows are real? Oh ya because people fall for it. These programs are given the green light to continue airing so the people watching them forget about the real problems in the world; problems like the war in Iraq or the fact that our economy is going under. Maybe if we stopped watching so much lame TV and started worrying about the real problems in this country we may be able to solve some issues we currently face. Until then I guess it's back to the drawing board to create some new way to offer people a million dollars to exploit themselves on national TV. The next time you sit down to watch the newest episode of The Fake World, just remember that their are millions of better things you could be spending your time doing.
