It's no longer a new thing that the media is the 4th world's power.So , no doubt that you are what you see.
As Daft Punk said in one of their songs , Television rules the nation.Every programme you watch leaves you an impression , sometimes it even influences you.So , no doubt we are the product of television.Especially now , when the variety of TV shows keeps on growing.Some of them are good shows , some of them are pure shit. Let's start with the most annoying of them all(for me , of course) : reality shows.
One of the biggest disavantages of them is that they are completelly POINTLESS! The ones showing the celebritites' day-by-day life are just useless.What I am supposed to learn from those things?I mean , seriously , I don't care wtf that "celebrity" does every effin' single day!(I hope you heard that , KK !) Really , why would you like to watch a person's day-by-day life?It's just like installing some hidden cameras in a stranger's home and then watch his boring day-by-day life. That would make you a creep , right? In my opinion , watching these kind of shows is exactly the same thing , the only difference being the fact that you watch that in the same time with other few million people.
And the dating reality shows are the most stupid thing the humanity ever made. Seriously , why would you like to admit in front of a few million people that you are a forever-alone guy and you weren't able to find your match?And how many of the participants of these shows have actually met the love of their life there?Probably less than 10% or 5% of them , so let's get real. And it's even more awkard because is on tv...
As long as I haven't seen a good reality show yet , I'm not a big fan of these kind of shows. I'm actually a hater , oh well.......
Because it's in the human nature to like anything which is about love , mankind created soap-operas , one of the worst things you can watch on your personal TV. Now , why would you watch and actually enjoy something like that?
Because....
A.It's not real
B. It tries to fake reality (and fails hard , to be honest)
c.It's too dramatic , cheesy , corny and stupid , of course.
Mainly , they all have the same old story. She loves him or the other way round , but they can't be togheter because of the family . Sometimes , there's a young charming man trying to seduce the heroine or a beautiful young mistress to seduce the hero. But they fail blah blah blah more problems and cheesy stuff , but in the end , the main characters get togheter finally , probably forever , living hapily ever after , marriage , kids , happiness , etc.The story of almost every soap opera. (And Twilight , lol , I just noticed that!). But they become even more annoying when they're in Spanish- this language pisses me of , to be honest. Plus , all those Spanish/Latino/whatever soaps have bad actors who overact , look stupid and they have the same old stories full of cliches. Gorgeous...
Another thing which pisses me off on TV are the singing shows (Yeah , American Idol , The Voice , etc.)-and my hate towards them has absolutely nothing to do with my lack of talent . Seriously , I think they're pointless and I don't think I'd like to spend a few hours from my life watching some idiots ruining my favourite songs.By the way , have you actually heard anything new about the previous winners of these kind of shows? Yeah , me neither! See , I told you , they're pointless!
The next annoying thing is the celebrity-gossip shows.Okay , maybe they're not that bad , because it's good to be informed , but when their latest buzz is KK's new shoes or Selena's new puppy or promoting any kind of new pseudo-celebrity.....no. Just no!I don't think this will influence my life in any way and I don't give a shit on them.This kind of "news" only prove me that they've got some very bad second-hand reporters who are in hurry and don't know what real journalism is.
And now , the last piece of cake(I guess) : beauty pageants.The dumbest thing about them is that you can't choose a winner , because you can't define beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder , so what I think is beautiful might not seem that beautiful to you. For example , millions of women around the world worship Brad Pitt and think he's the most beautiful man in the univesre. I think he's VERY ugly. So , just picking up just one winneris wrong and unfair , because everyone is beautiful in his own way. And of course , you're wasting your time watching these trashy shows , time that could be spent on reading a book or doing something which is actually useful for you.
So , because of all the shit that is on TV right now , I kind of gave up watching it. I barely turn it on once a week and watch it for 15 minutes or less, just to take a look at Fashion TV or Cartoon Network to see if there are Tom&Jerry.
I just have figured out I was wasting time with the trash on TV and you should do that too.
