In many ways, the social media craze really isn’t much different than its trash TV counterpart, which often features episodes from the lives of self-absorbed, dysfunctional, attention-seeking individuals who have allowed TV cameras into their homes for the chance at fame.
Perhaps the most ironic aspect of “reality TV” is that the majority of these shows are scripted. Regardless whether you tune into the Learning Channel, the History Channel or the Biography channel, you’re likely to run into one of several broadcasts of wasted air time highlighting the challenges of morbidly obese individuals in their quest to lose weight, resolve behavioral issues and other unfortunate predicaments. Other shows place idiots and heathens on center stage for a fighting match.
Most of these programs are specifically intended to pervert and corrupt society through glamorization of vanity, greed, promiscuity and vulgarity, as only the Hollywood establishment of homosexuals, pedophiles, drug addicts and other demented souls could accomplish.
