Reality TV Sinks Even Further
You guys think Joe Millionaire is bad? I just saw a commercial for another show called Married By America, premiering on Fox this coming March. Basically, a bunch of men and women come together, all complete strangers, and the viewers play matchmaker by calling in to vote for who they think should tie the knot. The commercial goes like "So Don't Screw Up America, Divorce is Expensive." What kind of sick crap is this? Now instead of one high profile TV marriage destined for divorce, we're gonna end up with a few dozen failed TV marriages.

I made the horrible, horrible mistake of not turning off American Idol as soon as it came on. Jesus Christ, these people are whiners. They forget their lyrics, they're tone deaf, they're noise pollution in bad pants. So of course, when the judges, who all GOT FILTHY RICH in the music industry, tell them they suck, what do they do? They bitch and piss and moan to the camera about how unfair those big meanies are. How the fuck does this shit get the ratings it does?

The punishment for these people should be public flogging, hopefully to set an example so others will not follow, but they'll still produce this shit.

Certianly be more entertaining, and we could do as the romans did and use it for execution of dangerous convicts without the wait!...Enforcer Talen wrote:right, time to bring back the colliseums.

I have recently upgraded the Ever-Victorious Army into the Ever-Victorius Grand Army, adding a truck and two pistols. I have waited for a grand calling, a crusade of sorts, to pursue with righteous ignomity the horrible deaths of those who may or may not be innocent.
Gentlemen, I have found my crusade.

Just when you think TV can't sink any lower, the FOX network suprises you.
