"Reality TV show writers seek more pay"Does no one else see the irony here? Since when is 'reality' TV scripted and need to be written by writers? I thought these shows were about real life unfolding..not pre-scripted dialogue and scenes? *laff

you think that shit's not preconcieved down to the smallest possible detail?
- Mimio0
The irony is that it's called "reality."
- er0k0

- er0k0

what does it say about the american landscape, that even reality has to be faked?
- Mimio0
It means that American audiences want succinct and outrageous spectacles/accidents to gawk at.

How's this for irony...
Normally i'm a responsible drinker/driver, and don't drive over the limit. On the weekend, i decided to have a few more than normal, and leave my car at my friend's place overnight.
I got a call the next morning to tell me my friend's little sister came barreling around the corner of their street in her car, and crashed straight into mine... life has a sick sense of humour sometimes :(

Like most television, it's all about LAZINESS. In fact, it's success is the culmination of laziness. Instead of experiencing life, people are content to watch others experience it while they watch. Actually, they're content to watch other people PRETEND to experience life while they watch. some people depend on TV like oxygen.

MTVs Real World is probably the most ironic of them all, when someone starts being real, they kick them off the show.
- er0k0
never actually watched real world except maybe a few clips back in the day.. (haven't owned a TV for over a year now)
but I don't doubt what you say one bit..disgusting, really :I
oh well. maybe more will join my quiet protest of TV. *nods
