You might want to try it sometime...makes ya laugh and we can all use laughter in our lives

LMAOooooO

I avoid watching much TV these days. I can sit and play Silent Hill all day, watch a random horror film and listen to metal music and still not feel as bad about the world as I do after watching reality shows.

It's not that people are actually like that either. I don't know anybody who behaves the way these people are portrayed but if you are subjected to it enough, I could see a potential for confusion. Not that I don't find some of it entertaining mind you, but it's still a bit much sometimes.

As I said, most people are quite level headed when you get to know them. The truly crazy folks are too busy trying to fight random dragons to actually audition for a TV show in the first place.

Did you seriously just compare yourself to the awful thing known as reality TV?

Reality TV was bastardized television when it came out and it is keeping that position very well at an alarming rate.

Here's an idea, don't compare yourself to anyone...Don't stand side by side, stand in front.

How sure are you really?? And why??

Reality tv doesn't contain much reality, so it wouldn't be a good comparison for most people.

Not just reality tv, also mentioned like tom cruise and charlie sheen, Lindsay lohan is another one. I watch a lot of tv, (obviously) online entertainment is somewhat new to me.

I just find it funny how people say things about others, like ex's, myself, or other people, they throw the word crazy psycho around about their ex, or crazy mental, crazy...blah blah, but realistically....being crazy is normal, some people just arent putting on a front. But I do love to watch reality tv, because it does remind you of just how SANE you really are.

YES there is editing, and perhaps a little acting, but for the most part, most of those people on reality tv were cast because they really are crazy...Look at NEW YORK-the black chic from FLava Flav show who got her own show....her and her mom were Crazy,,,,swamp people. . very bizarre. He had his mom pluck a ricochet bullet fragment out of his eye with a needle. He had one or two teeth cuz he lets his mom take care of him...hello! That was real right there.

Oh dear God...

Wow!
Think I stepped into the looney bin by mistake...

HaHa, see now you're not watching enough tv...

People aren't crazy, they are just Diverse.

True....

AMEN Bastet!!

Remember when it first came out. It was like WOW now we can watch Videos all day. Now I think your lucky if you see hardly any videos on most of the "video" channels (MTV, VH1, CMT, GAC,) Did I miss any? I guess with just videos they weren't getting enough viewers so they followed the trend.
Reality TV is just more proof that most people will do anything for money nowadays.

I will admit I do watch a few reality TV shows. But in my defense they are Kitchen nightmares, Hell's kitchen, and the "challenge" shows in the food network. I think of the last two as more like game shows.
So "guilty" here to, I guess.

That is why they DROPPeD the slogan "I want my MTV"

I bet if you asked a kid these days what MTV stands for they would not even know it means MUSIC Television.

Thats because noone "wants" it all day anymore.
