#1: Reality Television

What purpose does this serve in America? What does sitting around to find out if the Bachelor gives a rose to the pretty one or the ugly one? What does it matter if Rupert wins the new season of Survivor? Why should I care about whether this girl on "The Hills" hates that girl on "The Hills?"

I don't care. Please stop talking about it. Just think, if people had been smart and not cared about the naked guy on the first season of Survivor, we would not have to hear about Gosselins or Kardashians or Nicole Richie or Paris Hilton. These people would not dominate CNN. If we had not given these people television shows, we could actually turn on the news and find out what happened in North Korea or find out why the people in Iraq are not able to setup a government.

But no....we all looked to see what the naked guy was going to do and look what we have turned television into. MTV is no longer music television. That's right...reality television killed MUSIC Television. Try this...turn on MTV right now and there will probably be some sort of reality programming dominating the screen. Or better yet, try this. Go to Google Search, type in "Kate" or "Kim" and see what the top suggested result is. WE did this. WE created the monster. It is time to for US to turn the channel or better yet, turn the thing off.

What's that? You like finding out when the naked guy does something kooky and crazy. Well, keep it to yourself. I don't watch it...I don't wanna watch it...and I don't want to hear endless chatter about if that girl "totally deserved the rose more."
