My Rant is:
Hoarders & other shit on TV
Okay what the fuck is wrong with TV these days? Are we so starved for entertainment? Has it really all been done before? Is this why there’s a string of seemingly pointless reality TV shows? Take TLC’s ‘Hoarders’ for example. Ahhh, yes, entertainment at it’s finest. Here you can now dedicate a full hour of your life into watching these poor mentally ill people not throw away their garbage. Exciting stuff. In case you didn’t catch the last episode, I’ll fill you in – it’s pretty much the same every episode. Crazy old lady lives in a house. House is full of useless shit. City is about to condemn house. Call in concerned family members and 1-800-GOT-JUNK. Put the old lady through a harrowing clean-up effort and watch her go off the deep end. Watch the clean-up effort fail half-way through. Visit her one year later. Notice she has filled up her house with garbage again. Rinse and repeat. What happened to performing, to talent, to good stories? Are we bored of these things? So bored that we have to watch Jersey Shore? Watched my first episode the other night – in case you missed it I’ll break it down for you. Take a group of spray tanned juice monkey alcoholic douches from your local gym. Put them in a house with a group of spray tanned slutty alcoholic bitches who are into douches as described above. Now, here’s the real recipe for TV magic: Get them all to go to a nightclub and get hammered. Get them to come home at the end of the night and sit in a hot tub with neon lights in it. Then get everybody to sleep with each other. The next day, have everybody get in an over-dramatized fight about the night before. Rinse & Repeat. The way I see it, artistic integrity is dead; we are currently raising a whole generation of morons who thrive on cheap thrills and tasteless entertainment – I shudder at what the world will be like when I’m gone.
