Reality TV
March 7, 2004, after nearly 18 hours of sleep
Hey, lets turn on the TV. Yes, my favorite new "reality TV" show is on, "Survivor: Mars". Man, I love this stuff. Today, in one of the competitions they're going to crucify a Hindu! Won't that be fun? Oh, and whoever nails him to the wood the fastest gets something called "immunization", which basically doesn't mean anything except, "congratulations, your life is now complete. You have just successfully nailed a human being to a hunk of rotting wood". Then at the end of the show comes my favorite part: they're going to vote one of the team members off of the planet. This is usually the guy or girl who could potentially be classified as a human being, i.e. this person has a functioning heart, brain, etc. The person who wins "Survivor" is always a money grubbing slime bag. In "Survivor" they have teams, but it doesn't teach you anything about teamwork, or God forbid, dignity. It teaches you how to carefully position yourself behind the alleged human being, lean in close, and "service his account". One more thing: sure, crucifying a Hindu on national TV is not, technically, legal, but it's almost as believeable as saying the show is taking place on Mars, which we, technically, have not endeavored to yet, and it IS as realistic as calling this show "reality TV".

"Reality TV" wouldn't bother me if they simply changed the name of it to "unintelligent, unrealistic programming". But until then, screw reality TV up its "we dont believe in truth in advertising" ass. Problem solved.

Excellent! Right after "Survivor", there is a brand new episode of "The Apprentice", with Donald Trump airing! Because when I need advice on how to handle my business, I look no further than the man with the second worst combover a celebrity calls his own, Donald "Ivana" Trump, whose bad deals and colossal blunders are simply footnotes to his uncanny ability to be a conservative piece of fecal matter. However, I find this show to be hilarious, because there is definitely some truth to it. If you don't screw people over to get what you want, your out. This is how it is on any reality TV show, but at least on "The Apprentice", they make it clear. This is the true face of reality TV.

In this column I ripped "Survivor" apart, but even "Survivor" is more realistic then *drum roll* "The Bachelor". Yeah, as a single white man, I consider it to be nothing short of truthful when I'm put in a room with 25 beautiful women and given a choice between them. These
white guys aren't looking for love. They just want to make out with a slew of beautiful women and acquire a mean hard on. Every single Bachelor show is the same: in the beginning its all fun and games, until he finds himself actually liking one of the women, and he says something along the lines of "I had no idea it would be this hard", (this is the first significant decision this guy has made in his life, being raised with a silver spoon). Then at the end, where he could potentially propose to the woman, he gives her a ring and says he wants to "continue our relationship" without marriage. Then a week later they break up. God, its all so boring and predictable. And realistic. Right.

If you like watching TV, I suggest finding something else to like. How about movies? Or pinatas? Or the circus? I rest my case.
TV producers just broke down in tears
