Reality TV

I have NEVER been a fan of reality television, and this new show does not sway my opinion one bit. In fact, this only solidifies in my mind the general uselessness of television in one's daily life.

This is not the worst show I've heard about, however...ones about trading spouses, or having the kids pick their dad's new wife are far worse in my opinion...but WHY on earth would you put 6 Amish teenagers in HOLLYWOOD? I mean, of all places...and why are people entertained by that? I cannot imagine what the Amish community is going to think about this. After spending two summers in Pennsylvania, an hour from "Amish Country", I have a GREAT deal of respect for these people. I'd encourage you all to learn more about them and their lifestyle--I was amazed!

I seriously grow more tired of reality TV as time goes on...I have never watched Survivor, only seen a few American Idols (and I hate the name of that show...),  and one or two Joe Millionaires--and only because my roommates were watching them.

What's the point?

America needs to get over this obsession with other people's lives real quick...well, actually, I guess it doesn't matter, because I don't have to watch any of the shows.  I just strongly believe that there are better things to do with your time, than to watch shows that are really about nothing. Think about all the time you spend in front of the television, when you could be doing things of greater value? Amazing...I think I heard that the average American spends 10 hours a week watching TV...WHY?!

Anyway, off my soap box for the day. This post will probably stir some controversy, so bring on the comments. :)
