Reality TV: The Fall of Humanity

Whoever came up with the idea for reality TV should be dragged into the streets and shot.

I hate reality TV. Have you noticed how annoying it is to channel surf (because nothing good is ever on TV this day in age) and find at least 5 channels playing reality TV shows? Who watches this shit? Can anyone name even ONE reailty show that was worth watching for longer than 15 minutes? If you just opened your mouth to mention one, do us a favor and jump off a cliff.

Why do people need to see a television show about reality? The real world sucks. I mean, walk outside. On any given day, walking outside sucks. It's too hot, too cold, rainy, some annoying people are outside talking, or absolutely nothing is wrong except for the fact that you are wasting your time sitting outside and having nothing to do. Besides, reality shows are total bullshit anyways. Take survivor for instance. Apparently, if you are stranded on an island with no food, you can trade your blankets for rice. How fucking retarded is that? Another thing: who the hell WOULDN'T want to be voted off a deserted island in real life? Nobody, that's who. No one wins a million dollars for sitting on an island in the middle of nowhere in "reality".

How about some REALITY reality shows? Here's mine: I wake up with a few minutes to get to work. I take a shower, skip breakfast, and head to work. I get there about 5 to 10 minutes late each day. I work for 4 hours, then go home for lunch. I usually eat very little for lunch and read sites on the computer. I then go back to work for the other 4 hours, waiting for the time to pass. Once I get home, I eat, find something to do (which always ends up boring), then go back to sleep. Hell, while I'm going to college, that'll be in the agenda too. Whoopie, 4 hours of staring at a book and/or writing shit on paper. Let's see how high the ratings go on that reality show!

Think about it: how realistic is reality TV? As I was mentioning before, on "Survivor", people sit stranded on an island and try to live in the shitty conditions they are in. Who in the world gets stuck on an island? And if you are stuck on the island, HOW DO YOU GET VOTED OFF? What kind of castaway gets a million dollars for making temporary alliances to get rid of the others then backstabs said allies until he's the only one left?

What about Fear Factor? All that shit involves is you (1) eating something disgusting, (2) doing something "life-threatening", or (3) sharing an environment with something disgusting and/or "life-threatening". First off, eating bull testicles, fried rat, live worms, or pig brains is plain disgusting, and if you do it for cash, you are a whore. Also, none of the "life-threatening" crap should be scary because they always give you a safety harness, safety equipment, and/or have paramedics waiting on the side in case you still manage to hurt your own dumbass self. Take away the safety harness and you'll see how scared they are of climbing on the side of a moving truck. Hell, if they fall off, that's even better for the ratings.

Then there's the worst of the worst: degradation reality television. You have all seen this shit. Shows like "Big Brother" and "The Biggest Loser", where either they are videotaping your every move or recording you doing something very degrading so they don't have to sift through hours of your boring shitty daily routine to find something for people to laugh at. The only people that are less intelligent than the viewers of these shows are the people who end up starring in them. You think everyone is sitting in front of their television cheering you on? No, they're laughing at your stupid, sorry ass.

"The Biggest Loser" is especially funny to watch. Here we have a bunch of lard-assed fuckfaces trying to lose weight. Half of the reasons are "No one loves me because I'm fat, so I want to lose weight so people will like me!" or "I'm ashamed of my weight, so I am trying to lose weight because it will give me a false sense of self-esteem!" What a load of shit. Changing yourself so other people will like you is retarded and shallow. Anyone who hates me for being overweight can shove a lit stick of dynamite up their ass. If someone won't like you while you are overweight, then they aren't interested in you as a person, just you as a body or a sex toy. Ditch the bitch/bastard and find someone who appreciates you for you.

Instead of watching reality TV, get off your ass and see reality for yourself. Either you'll have lots more fun than you ever did watching these shitty programs, or you'll realize reality isn't worth a dime and wonder why you watched those crappy shows in the first place. Please, stop watching this crap so the ratings can go down and the shows can get cancelled.

People need to learn that the term "Reality Television" contradicts itself.
