a simple life

I unfortunately just witnessed an advertisement for the forthcoming FOX reality series A Simple Life. Now, I can maybe, possibly, somewhat understand people wanting to see some random people thrown into a deserted area of the wilderness and told to survive, or maybe even a group of people locked up in a house and told to get along, or maybe even a group told to do and eat disgusting things... these are all situations uncommon in the regular world. You don't typically find people making heat with fires, capturing their every movement on closed caption tv, or eating meal worms.. but taking two people from the "big city" and throwing them into a "country" situation for entertainment purposes is just asinine. Seriously, I hope the people that watch that show realize that it may be funny to watch the two rich girls squirm in this "awkward" environment, but the fact of the matter is the viewers themselves are being mocked. Hahaha, look at the working class of America! Putting on costumes for Sonic!? Inseminating cattle so they reproduce to put food on the table?! Hahaha, Middle Class America is just a bunch of suckers! Why isn't everyone born with a trust fund and a misunderstanding of what it is to earn your keep.

Yea, it sounds like I'm on some high horse and rant because of some reality show but I'm just constantly apalled at what people find to be entertainment.
