Ok, you are not the first on this board unable to understand the relevant point made in a comparison. Let me explain it for you. If you read it over, you can see that I was not comparing reality tv to murder, which is a pretty ridiculous conclusion. My point is that just because something is inevitable, doesn't mean that if you decide to be the one who does it, you are: noble, know what you're doing, or responsible...in fact, quite the opposite. I'll explain it in another way--just because you think that no matter what, SOMEone SOMEwhere is going to make an unwise decision, doesn't mean thaat you should do it. I was hoping that I wouldn't need to explain this concept in such simple terms - I mean, we are all in college. But there you are.

Read the Sigmas' statement. They are prepared for any reaction to what they undertook, even reactions like yours.

Oh I've read that statement a few times, and all I can say is that they are in no way prepared. Their explanations are feeble at best. But I'm getting carried away--look, I don't really want to "go after" these girls, I don't WISH them evil. I really, really feel bad for them, especially the ones who wisely backed away from it. But I'm dreading the show, I'm dreading the comments I'm going to get from people...comments based on people I've never even met. And you know what, I don't even need to see the episodes, I can already see all the bad publicity coming out of this - on the radio, in the papers, on the web--and it hasn't even aired yet! So to say that "you don't know cuz you haven't seen the show" is basically untrue. We DO know, because everything we've been worried about is already happening. And as before, I guess my main point is that as I said everyone here should really take this whole situation as a serious warning and wakeup call about approaching publicity, and really just using some common sense. Really, it amazes me how gullible people can be sometimes. Anyways, let me end with a fervent wish that all the mayhem that occurs will be at least short lived and forgotten!
