Corrupt me.

I've had enough of reality TV. I don't know what it's like in the US, but shows like Big Brother are becoming such a fucking tumour on society.
I don't even watch fucking TV, but I’m forced to read about the fucking stuff everywhere, and occasionally I get sucked in through momentary lapses of concentration I find myself starting at images of twenty-something nobodies arguing over the task in which they have to be cheerleaders. I see no merit in anyone on these shows existence but for their miniscule entertainment value.

I suspect that of all my judgements on the matter I will flick onto Big Brother one day to hear one of the contestants, whispering softly: "and that... is the meaning of life", followed by a cut to the host who exclaims, excitedly "That’s it, that’s all we needed to know; this is what we have been waiting for" followed by nothing but the sound of nothing: For evermore.

...and I will have missed it.

I was just talking to this girl about big brother aout how fucking lame it is.

They all bitch about being stuck in a house with hot girls, free food, stardom, doing virtually nothing for 80% of the day, winning prizes/money when they fucking voted to go on there? I mean are they fucking retarded? yes. Probably about as retarded as the people who keep it alive, almost.

...almost. I think its fair to say that birds flock to open ground.
Personaly I couldn't bare to be shut up in a house full of retards, with only 1 book per person... I doubt anyone brought in anything worth reading anyway; its probably all Dan Brown. I would go mad and shit everywhere, probably.

I don't even know what you're talking about, I've never heard of that show. But reality TV makes me embarassed to be human.

sportscenter consumes any time that I spend in front of a TV. Sports center and then if i'm still up, Mike & Mike on ESPN2

TV is fucking amazing...our culture is shat out that precious box...and there is some good watchin's. I'm not a tv zombie, i read quite often, i just don't allow myself to watch these half-assed shows, for some reason i feel embarrassed for em', odd it is.
