Time to ban reality TV celebrity marriages?

Awesome post. I've been guilty of finding some of this stuff entertaining, but actually getting married is taking things too far.

I don't understand all this reality TV crap in general. I mean sure, I enjoy Master Chef, and can tolerate American Idol as long as the contestants are worth watching, but other than those I can't stand reality TV. And who do we have to thank for all this? MTV. I remember watching the very first music video when that station first went on air, and was so sad when they stopped showing music videos and replaced them with...what was it, Road Rules? The worst thing though is that people continue to eat this stuff up like candy. A couple of months back I tried watching...Survivor I think, and literally felt my brain cells dying. My little sister is in her early 30s and still is almost obsessed with these stupid shows. My brother has this habit of getting up in the morning and turning on some kind of reality show too. I personally can't watch something that doesn't force me to think, which I guess is why I enjoy crime dramas so much. And on weekends I love to watch The History Channel.

Agreed! The only "reality" show I enjoyed back in the day was Candid Camera. :)

What else would you expect from a society where about 85% of the population can't even find their own state on a map? Never heard of the state of Montana for that matter? I even met one of her fans who's about 25 years old, and she claims to never even heard of the Holocaust. These are the stupid asses we have sucking up our oxygen. She has 11 million followers? That just means that the world has 11 million dumb fucks in it.

Amen here too! Reality TV started because of the writer's strike but, when the strike was over, we were left with all this craziness. I admit to watching some from time to time, heck I enjoy not having to think for a bit. However, there is a line and I think it was crossed a long time ago. The Bad Girls Club is a show about females that drink, fight, party, sleep around and yell constantly. They get a free mansion, free food and booze, and free trips to Barbados. KUWTK does nothing but promote the Ks products (?), of which they had a barely successful little clothing boutique in Calasbasas of all friggin' places when the show started and their dad repped OJ and KK went to high school with Paris. Now, it's just way too much. I'm not going to hate on someone that takes advantage of their opportunities or uses the media to further their cause (well, depending on the cause) but, to make a farce of something that Americans already have such difficulty maintaining (marriage) or to shove wasted resources and money in our faces when the rest of the country cannot even provide for their families, their kids can't read, their kids have to walk through war zones to go to school, and they work 24/7 to afford fake food full of chemicals to poison their families with....that is just disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.
