What is this world coming to?
I can't understand why our society is glorifying so many TV shows that center around conflict and the expulsion of fellow man! No offense to those of you who like shows like Survivor and Real World, but I don't like the fact that, nowadays, we are applauding shows on which people are supposed to vote each other off or "bumb heads," and for MONEY and FAME, of all things!!!
Last night, I caught a glimpse of this new show, "Weakest Link" (or something like that), and I was disgusted by the overall theme, not to mention that annoying hostess. What are we teaching our children--that if you don't like someone or are intimidated/threatened by his/her strength and confidence (i.e. the black chick I heard about on Survivor), you can and should simply GET RID OF THEM because they may cause problems for you? That sounds like a form of genocide to me!
I think these shows are ridiculous, and I can't understand why they are so successful. The fact that they are is quite scary! Obviously they are successful because millions of people watch and enjoy them. I know it's just entertainment, but why are we so entertained by THAT?!?! I feel like I'm the only person on earth who has a problem with seeing shows like this. Am I? Does anyone else understand where I'm coming from here? Maybe someone can shed some light on the subject.
