I know I've been writing a lot of blogs lately but this however can not go un published. What in the fuck is wrong with the people who are on Next!. Or cheaters, or parental control, or any of those horrible horrible shows.
Take for example... Paris... from Next!
this episode was on last night, and yes I think less of myself for keeping it on, and even more less of myself to staying through the commercial break. what this clip doesn't show is that afterwards they ask why Paris has such white teeth... answer? White nail-polish. What in the fuck is wrong with kids these days? Where the fuck are their parents? And why are we encouraging them to be on TV?
20 years from now (assuming that kid lives another 20 years if he's ingesting white nail polish on a daily basis :S) that kid has to look back on that episode. Both! Of those kids. It's not the homosexuality... really it's not... it's that bad dialog, horrible acting, and blatant disregard for self-respect that makes me uncomfortable as the laughter that emits from the other four dudes in the van.
Shows like this really make me question the moral fiber of society. Granted it's not burning and raping villages in the name of God. In historical context making an ass of yourself is a far less crime... but in the here and now... are there really people like that in this world?
in real life would you prove your love to me by eating a pig's vagina (Tila Tequila) or can anyone really be in love with Flava Flav... or Brett Michaels... and seriously what self-respect Marine (gay or straight) would even consider dating a man wearing an origami belt and paints their teeth with nail polish?
Let me rephrase my concern. These people do it because they are getting paid, and fame. They do it because there is a DEMAND for it. My concern is with the demographic of demand. What makes everyday people like you and me stop and watch this smut.
Does it make us feel better about ourselves? Is it like watching a human train wreck where you can't look away? Or simply secretly do we RELATE to these people in some sick way.
