Now first and foremost...I don't mean to sound offensive when I say...a lot of us are fucking retarded.
Again...no offence. (Ha ha...it's a joke...don't bite my head off for this later on you arrogant prick...you know who you are.)
Anyways...what's with us being obsessed with 'beautiful' people who do nothing? I don't mean 'celebrities'...because at least actors and singers are actually doing something that requires at least a smidgen of talent.
I'm talking about the bimbos on 'The Hills'...or the little morons on 'Newport Harbour'...or Tila Tequila...or the fucking Bachelor/Bachelorette.
What's so GREAT about watching other people live their lives? It doesn't affect us in the least and we learn NOTHING useful. I wouldn't even CARE if this was 'entertaining'...but the fact is...it's NOT.
Let me analyze an episode of The Hills for you.
10:00...Last week on the Hills...This girl has to do a job...uh oh...boyfriend shows up angry...yikes...now she's in a rut...angry boyfriend befriends her best friend and ends up hitting on her...oooohhhhh
10:05...main girl meets with her best friend...they talk about it over some cafe-mocha lattes...while wearing eskimo boots in fucking L.A...and scarfs.
"Blah blah blah...I wonder what he meant'..."
"Yada yada yada...I know...it's so bizarre..."
*calls boyfriend*
OHHH LOOK AT THAT...A CAMERA IS FOLLOWING THE BOYFRIEND IN HIS CAR TOO! HOW CONVENIENT!
...alright fuck all the B.S.
Anyways...30 minutes later...the episode ends exactly where it started from...a depressed idiot girl is dating an idiotic dude with no sense of personality...and her best friend clearly has no issues against trying to break them up.
WHAT THE FUCK HAS HAPPENED THAT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE OR PERSPECTIVE ON ANYTHING?
Nothing. The show is a worthless mash up of beautiful people with no personalities and fashion and pop culture. Everytime a fucking scene changes...we get a new 10 second clip of a new Nelly Furtado song...we get little clips of new clothes...new cars...and stores/restaurants.
I would LOVE to see an interesting individual on these shows...just ONCE have a motherfucker on there who would speak his mind and say "THIS BITCH IS DUMB...WHY AM I DATING HER WHEN HER FRIEND IS MUCH HOTTER AND SLUTTIER?"
But nooooooo...it takes a whole fucking season for the dude to cheat and the girl to realize what a moron she was.
Sorry...I'm rambling. Anyways back to the topic...fuck The Hills.
Seriously though...the topic...
What's so great about watching other people live? Are our lives that uninteresting that we find no pleasure in them? Do we fantasize about being AS good looking or AS RICH as others? I mean everytime I watched 'Growing Up Gotti' I kept thinking of how fucking dumb these kids were and how much I deserved all the shit they got even MORE than they did. All they did was be born and suddenly they're praised.
When the hell are we gonna raise the bar on what is presented to us. Everything they give us...we accept. That's why shit is getting repetitive and boring. Ever since 'Reality TV' blew up...that's all TV is nowadays...just reality TV..."Watch this family live." "Watch this girl find love." "Watch this chimpanzee throw poop at a cop." It's ridiculous.
Someone bring back The Samurai Pizza Cats.
