TV is the Devil
(May 09, 2005)
I find it so ironic that our right wingers feel television shows need to be censured because they can morally corrupt our minds. Then "reality" shows start popping up on every channel, and I don't hear a peep about their content. Throwing married couples on an island with temptation, locking people up in a house together, and then there's the bane of my existence: Survivor. I have yet to watch an episode. It has no appeal to me whatsoever.The idea of plotting against one another for money seems barbaric to me. Is this something we really want to teach our youth and frighteningly impressionable society twits? "Schemers Always Win" should be the true name of that show. The idea in itself will never be proven. These numbskulls are playing for money. They're not trying to survive, they're in it for the cash. Any way you look at it, greed vs preservation are complete polar opposites. Sorry guys, your show doesn't cut it. Buh bye. If it were only that easy. There are people who just lap this shit up. You want to worry about the end of civilization? Why don't you get your panties in a wad about these shows? I know they're going to find... "and the fifth seal was broken... and Survivor was unleashed upon the world" in the Apocalypse section of the bible. Y'all better leave my Internet porn alone and go after the real moral corruption. And what the hell was the pig killing episode for? Arrggh!! Posted by Diva at May 9, 2005 07:37 PM

I only turn my TV on to watch DVDs. I prefer surfing the different news sources to try and get something halfway decent. I find it offensive that these shows get so popular to the point where they are front page news. I start to read a story about someone I've never heard of, and within the first or second paragraph they're listed as a contestant on one of those shows. Big Brother is some big show that the brits like from what I gather. I am always seeing stories about them. The stories I hear about American Idol make my skin crawl. More nastiness that feeds the masses. *sigh* Posted by: Diva at May 11, 2005 08:01 PM  I watch American Idol. :) The depth to which people get involved in studying and discussing the show amazes me, though. I like to hear people sing. Posted by: Jules at May 12, 2005 01:23 PM |
