I have to say it:  Reality TV is getting out of control.  Seriously.  I’ve never really gotten on the reality TV wagon.  The only ones I ever really got addicted to were the two Flavor of Love seasons.  Those were just funny.  But seriously, some of the crap that they are coming up with now is just ridiculous.  Even Food Network is jumping on the bandwagon with like three shows that are all completely stupid!  The show that inspired me to post today is a show on Oxygen called “Tease”.  It looks like America’s Next Top Model except it’s with hairdressers.  Am I the only one who is confused by this?  Reality TV seems to have a big boner for trying to make EVERYTHING look glamorous.  Soon somebody is gonna come up with something called “Pump” which is a competition to see which guy can make pumping your septic tank look as glamorous and fabulous as possible.  There will be three judges and one of them will HAVE to be an openly gay man, as is protocol in Reality TV.  I can see it now.

Openly Gay Guy Judge:  “Oh honey!  What were you thinking?  How could you not notice that your pump line was not the correct shade of lavender?  That is a huge mistake!”

Super Nice But Kinda Stupid Female Judge:  “I agree.  The color of the tube is everything in making this go from your everyday pump to a fabulous TV pump.  But I liked your technique.”

Ultra-Mega-Evil Judge (male or female):  “I was appalled by your attire and the way in which you flipped the switch and attached your hose.  You obviously are still not understanding how to make a septic pump look fabulous.  You make me sick.”

And out there somewhere, somebody would watch this show and cast their votes on who they believe did the best and most stylish job of pumping the septic tank.  The winner would be crowned and America would come to know him as the “Pump Man” as he did interviews for the Morning Show and Jay Leno.

Obviously the opinions of coke-sniffing interns is becoming more respected in the television industry.  TV and Hollywood have gone to shit in the past few years…or rather since the beginning.  There was a time when an actress had to be a classically trained dancer, had to have vocal lessons for singing, and also had to act.  Now it’s all about who is willing to show tits and ass for a bargain and marry as many times as possible and be in the tabloids 24/7.  There was a time when most movies that came out were original and interesting.  Now we are seeing remakes out the ass and movies made from books that are as old as time because apparently all the screenwriters of the world have all died of a mysterious screenwriters disease.  It seems to me that talent is not as important as looks and the ability to be a skanky whore in the public eye.  But I’m too harsh I guess.  I guess I’m not interested in knowing if Paris Hilton has some sort of VD from letting her dog clean her crotch, or that Lindsey Lohan has won the Frat House Cup of the year for longest keg stand.  Blah….those two make me wanna puke.

ANYWAY, I guess my point is that our entertainment seems to get more brainless as time goes on.  Watch the movie “Idiocracy” and you’ll see what life will be like in 500 years if we stay on this course.  It’s sad, but kinda funny.
