T.M.Z. (Theres My Zoloft)


This is something that I have had issues with for quite a while now and I have a picture that supports my thought; so I decided to rant about it. Reality TV is stupid. This includes the millions of entertainment shows out there. Isn’t there anything that we can do with our time then watch celebrities go in and out of clubs, bars, and restaurants (TMZ)? Isn’t there anything that we can do then watch 10 people in a house doing nothing but try to get laid (Big Brother)? Have we as a society become so tired our own lives that we have to live them through the people that we see on TV or in movies? We all have problems in our lives that we don’t like dealing with but we can’t just ignore them by drowning ourselves in other people lives. I mean who cares if Britney hits another car. Who cares if someone has cellulite on their ass or who went shopping where? People, we have bigger problems in this country then focusing on whether someone is wearing underwear or not. Gas is going to be over 4 bucks a gallon, people are losing their houses, and our troops are dying over seas. Right now people have to choose if they should buy gas, food, or pay off their mortgage. And how many people under the age of 30 really keep up with world politics, better yet U.S. politics? Did you know that the U.S. had Nelson Mandela on the terror watch list? Yes, Nelson Mandela; the peace loving, falsely imprisoned political activist. And I bet that only a few people out there knew that he was on there. We need to stop all this celebrity obsession about who’s dating whom and what nut is jumping around like a monkey on Oprah’s sofa. We should be concentrating on how we are going to get gas down to a reasonable price, how to keep people in their homes and how we can fight global climate change. And has anyone thought of this? So people please leave reality TV alone and pick up a newspaper, read a book or something.

Doug, I totally second the thoughts you expressed in this entry.

And because you misspelled Oprah, I think you're quite withdrawn from television.

Bravo!
