Reality T.V.!!!  Tonight was a late night, and I noticed there really wasn’t a whole lot on the boob tube.  There are a lot of reality shows and out of curiosity I decided to watch one.  I have never really cared for them to begin with, but I wanted to know what all the hype was and why they have been on for so long.  I didn’t get those answers, but I did finally figure out what is wrong with our society.

The show that I did see really disgusted me and I would much rather have my eyes gouged out with a hot spoon.  What is wrong with these people and what is wrong with our society to think that this is entertainment.  It’s nothing more than trash.  Give an ignorant and uneducated woman some fake boobs and tight clothes and they think they own the world.  These people are manipulating, lying, cheating, arrogant, unsophisticated, mean, destructive individuals.  With such an attractive personality and character I don’t understand why they can’t find love.  From what I have seen of the previews for other shows, they really are not that different.  It’s all irrational little kids in grown up bodies. 

Now the problem that I see with this.  These shows are glamorized and made to appeal to younger adults.  These young adults see all the glamour and they begin to mimic this irrational behaviour.  So now we have a bunch of people running around who don’t know any better thinking this is the way life really is, and that this behaviour is acceptable.  They think it is okay to lie, cheat, steal, manipulate, be disrespectful, and the list goes on.  You can pretty much insert any bad quality into the list and it wouldn’t be incorrect.  It’s sad to watch our society go down the toilet because of the networks bad decisions to air such garbage.  We are all accountable for our actions and how it affects our society, there is no amnesty for reality shows and the networks that air them. 

As a society we need to re-evaluate our morals and ethics.  We need to start holding ourselves and each other accountable for the roles that we play in a downward spiraling society.  Why can’t there be something on that has morals?  Being wholesome doesn’t have to be boring, but at least put something on the television that has a lesson to it.  Just because it’s called a boob tube doesn’t mean that we all have to become mindless boobs because of the lack of decent programming.   From now on I will stick to my books, that way I won’t have to take a flame torch to my eyes and ears when I am done.  I have now been scarred for life….. anyone know a good priest?  I think I need to repent for watching it.
