This is why I don't watch TV - Page 2

I think I caught someone's cold at Disneyland last night and now I'm in a foul mood.
With that being said, I was surfing YouTube and watched a short clip from a reality show called "The Bad Girls Club". Here it is.
So, I'm watching it and thinking WTF?
What the hell is this?

So, to give it a shot, I watched maybe the first two episodes of this season. (It's on its second season.) And I'm just so pi**ed off I can't believe it.

Hookers, porn stars, gangbangers, ex-cons all sharing a house together. Uh, this passes for entertainment now? What the hell is going on?

I haven't watched cable tv or network tv in awhile and now I see this. This country has gone nuts. This is a top rated show on Oprah's Oxygen network. I'm just stunned, angry and frustrated.

This show puts women, minorities in a foul light. Trash. All this money, energy and tv time could have been used showcasing people who deserve to be held on a pedestal.

I mean, I'm not naive, I know why shows like this do well. It's fun to watch a trainwreck. But this show is a great big turd. And I'm as open-minded as the next guy, but I refuse to think that the TV viewing world is this dumb.

I can't wait for the whole reality thing to die, because it deserves to.
