Back to life, back to reality TV

There is no time for pleasantries, the subject in which I am going to talk is one of immense annoyance to many people. It is simply this, reality TV “stars”. There are no “stars” in reality TV, only people who are idiots and are so idiotic that being on TV (or magic colour boxes, as these imbeciles call it) has gone to their head in this misconstrued image fame. Everyone knows that people only like reality TV because the people are idiots, whereas the idiots think it's their personality that make them popular on the box. Now I think there's two types of reality TV, there's documentary style, where, for example, a family is followed over a period of time. That's fine, boring usually yes, but fine. But then there's exhibit B, house style. When I say house I mean fame wannabes that are all shoved into a oddly furnished building where every single movement they make is monitored and then broadcast. Surprisingly I'm angrier at the people who watch the house muck. Shows like 'Big Brother, 'Geordie Shore' and 'The Only Way is Essex'. I have different versions of the names of these shows, firstly 'Big Brother' to 'Why Bother?', 'Geordie Shore' to 'Geordie Whores' and 'The Only Way is Essex' to 'I'd Rather Be in Yorkshire'.

I can sometimes see the attraction of these shows, to me it's like looking down on the lower classes and laughing myself to death, which would be convenient because occasionally death is the better option when faced the choice between death and Geordie Shore. I'm hoping that so far you're agreeing with me. What do I mean hope? I'm right. You have to agree. Right?

I can understand why my point is as valid as an obese child moaning about his weight whilst digging into a Big Mac. I don't even watch these shows, I don't want to watch these shows. I only ever see the ads for them, which only boosts my levels of anger towards these shows. The people on the shows anger me the most though, this needs reiterating. These people will do these shows and be mocked nationally, as a career. This 'career' will get them through a surprising number of years, appearing on other muck such as 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here'. If they were a proper celebrity then they wouldn’t need to boost their 'career' on this pointless show. They should start the show, give up after three nights then leave Australia and the 'celebrities' behind them. And when you think about it, if they were a proper celebrity them they would be hosting the show, not appearing on it.

Rant over. I started with no greeting, but I shall leave you with this quote from a man called Morley Safer, “Reality TV is sleazy, it is manipulative. It is as momentary as anything in popular culture.”

Goodbye.
