JU Replacing Reality TV

from JoeUser Forums

Drama

People you love to hate

Banishment

Reincarnation

Infidelity

Sex

Religious conflicts

Political disagreements

Social issues

All of these characteristics define and encompass both reality tv and online blogging. Let's face it, real people make the best entertainment.

Anyone who has ever read my blogs, knows that I have a guilty love of reality tv. Well, I can now claim an almost complete recovery from my addiction to those shows. I have found the cure to my disease.

Joe User has rid me of my psychological dependence on reality programming. Blogs are the internet equivalent of soap operas featuring real people. The drama is high, opinions varied, and heated "fights" make for the greatest "ratings." Blogs, like their television counterparts, inform, heighten social awareness, and portray the depths of our depravity.

Hopefully, they also lead to self-reflection, growth, understanding, and tolerance.

you picked a good time to deal with your rtv jones.    the fox network's newest entry--'whose your daddy'--in which an adopted woman is gonna be paid if she's able to determine which of 8 guys is her biological father (if her father is able to fake her out, he gets the money instead) has to be one of the sickest things i can imagine.   (which is sayin quite a lot)

Remember Darva Conger?  But Yea, I think this idea tops that one.  I dont watch any of them.  I live in reality.

My husband and I saw the preview for this show. We were stunned and speechless.

Obviously not, as they are resorting to any depth....
