Week 2 blog

I don't know about everyone else but I've just about had it completely with reality television.  It seems to be the center of many many media outlets from it airing on television to people tweeting and writing about it on social networks.  Now I'm not saying all reality television is bad; I can stomach certain shows that may actually teach me something about the world other than blowing out or puffing my hair.  But for the most part I can't understand how or why people want to go on these shows and make fools out of themselves.  Can you honestly be taken seriously after being on these shows?  For instance if I'm hiring for a marketing department director or an elementary school teacher and someone from the cast of Jersey Shore, Bad Girls Club, Tool Academy, or for The Love of Ray J sits down in the chair infront of me for an interview, the likelyhood of me actually hiring them given their nationally televised antics is pretty slim to none.  Even when MTV producers started showing interest locally for "Mass-holes" and a few people I know wanted to make audition tapes, no one could tell me anything positive that could come out of actually being on the show. I think this whole reality tv deal has become quite extreme and I would love to see more shows with plots that will make me think, like Lost or something that could keep me entertained like one of the HBO series.  I don't feel bad about myself after watching one of those shows compared to wasting an hour of my life watching Jwow and Sammi Sweetheart roll around on a floor.
