I swear I could be a Hollywood pitch man because all they freaking do these days is say the following: "Let's find some annoying rich men/women that are gay/cheating on their spouses with their spouses are running around on them/oblivious to what's going on and televise their day that way we can make the rest of america wish they could be like them/hate them with a passion. Seriously, I thought the writing strike was freaking over, let's have some originality on the screen.
This crap all started with MTV, who I like to blame for everything, including the downfall of the Aztec civilization. They started this crap with "The Real World". Let me tell you, the real world is not taking a bunch of good looking chicks, a gay dude, and some frat boys and putting them in a house in some city so they never have to work and can get drunk and fornicate all the time. When that wasn't enough, they made game shows where they took these same freaks and intermixed them. Even better is the one where parents get to pick kids to basically prostitute their kids too because they dislike their current boyfriend/girlfriend that much.
Shortly thereafter I was able to learn that I hate Paris because they did the same thing with her. I mean holy hell she should just stick to somehow releasing private sex tapes and be quiet. How many shows can we put on of people trying to find love out of a pool of 30 losers?
It just goes downhill to what I consider the bottom of the barrel Real Housewives of Whatever City They Are Taking Advantage Of Now. I can see the producers now: "Let's find some snobby rich chicks that are middle aged and totally plowable, then put them on the air so some people can wish they lived like them, some ass-hats can go off an try to live like them but fail miserably, and the rest can hate them. Guess which side I fall on.
Even the Playboy chicks got ruined for me by having a reality show. I'm not kidding. That show should have been hot. But instead they made the girls talk, which made me realize how idiotic people in the world are, which therefore made me hate them. It also med Hef look like a worried grandfather instead of a ladies man like he's portrayed. Not a win for anyone.
I think we should all rally around Hollywood and demand original programming. I bet if we did it we could get our own Reality TV show.
