"Unreal" Reality TV
I've never, ever been a fan of so called reality TV. I mean, think about it, how much "real" stuff do these folks do on the shows? Get stuck on a deserted island? Race around the world? Get locked up with a bunch of others for awhile in one house? I mean, please, get real, ok?
Yea, I know, "real" reality would be so boring. Following someone as they get up, go to work, come home, and go to bed. The grossest thing they may do all day is change diapers on their kid, and who wants to watch that.
That's why I found the following soooo believable. It seems, according to Norma Meyer at the Copley News Service, that reality is more scripted than we think.
So, it's not reality? Who'd a thunk?
