A... reality show?

[Reply #2 on:]

Yes...

with a lot of hott... umm...  ladies.

[Reply #3 on:]

Okay. Just read up on it. Sounds stupid.

Someone with half an ounce of charm and an iota of wit can gain access to "hott... umm... ladies" without having to subject themself to such vapid shite. Be they downloaded ones or... heaven forbid - people you actually know and interact with in real life.

Seriously, reality TV is no good. Never has been either, but now it's scraped well through the bottom of the barrel to scoop out gritty, low-quality dirt soaked in the fermenting juices of exploitation and kowtowing-to-the-lowest-common-denominator-ness. What utter idiocy.

Gotta go with coldy on this one, was never a huge fan of the reality TV craze when it started, now it just gets worse and worse, If some skank seriously wants to get with Bret Michaels or Flava Flav, they should go for, but at least have the decency not to televise, "Won't somebody please think of the children?"

Hate to be the one to let everyone know this, but Bret Michaels is married & lives in Arizona with his wife & 2 kids.  The "Reality" show here is a total publicity scam to hype his lamo 80's glam (Dave Mustaine of the band Megadeath's definition of GLAM = Gay Los Angeles Metal) band Poisen's upcoming tour.  VH1 definitely falls flat on it's face for truth in advertising on this one.  It's even worse than that "Growing Up Gotti" show where they purposely introduced Victoria Gotti's "Gay Friend" when ratings took a turn for the worse; it's funny because up to that point she supposedly was a notorious & public homophobe.

I've always been amused by "reality" shows, where the ending credits reveal 95 jillion writers & script consultants.  Just goes to show that PT Barnum WAS right:  "There's a sucker born every minute..."

Im not a huge fan of reality shows, but there are a few I do watch.  However, this whole series of Flavor of Love 1+2 and I love NY and now Rock of Love.... ugh

While the Real World on MTV does its best to find the hottest people on the planet, VH1 seems to be looking for the White trashy-ist/Ghetto people on the planet and its just... Jerry Springer with more dating.  Honestly, I cant watch the show because Im ashamed to call myself an American woman

Hey, don't be ashamed of who you are; be like me, and be disgusted with any network that would dare to put such crap on the air, and try to pass it off as entertainment.  This kind of garbage is really a slap in the face of anyone who has more than 20 brain cells.

I think the main problem with these shows is that they get the looniest, oddest, dumbest, most moronic people they can find, then try to push them off as though they're the societal norm, not the mutuant fringes of society that they really are.  People can get a really skewed idea of american society, if all they see is "reality" shows.  It's little wonder many countries think US society is made up entirely of slack-jawed yokels & professional wrestling fans...

Which reminds me of a joke:

Q. What has 12 teeth, and an IQ of 70?
A. The 1st 4 rows of any professional wrestling crowd

I've seen Flavor of Love 1 and 2 so I can laugh at it.  Never saw I Love New York, though.  This show with Brett Michaels is no different.  Also, the girls from Flavor of Love went to "Charm School" with Monique.  They way they acted, they sure needed it! 

I was never a fan of reality TV, and I agree with what seattlejohn and slackit said about these pathetic shows.

The Crab People are using reality TV to make humans stupid so they can defeat us and return to the surface of the planet.

[Reply #11 on:]

@coldy: Why does that sound so believable to me?

I agree that reality shows are worthless.  If people want to watch that crap, let them.  I'll have nothing to do with it.
