Afternoon Delight

I don't get it. The Octomom landed a spot on television. Watch out, Jon and Kate.

I've never been a fan of reality TV but this crosses a whole new threshold. Eight children??? Are you shitting me? How in the world is that realistic? Who the fuck has eight kids and manages to stay that fair skinned? I'm pretty sure after eight children your body would be ravaged and gloomy.

Moreover, why do people find this shit so interesting? I'm not even being rhetorical. I really want to know. What is it about creepily peering into the lives of a family and their eight babies that gives people such a fucking hard-on? It isn't like these people go through their day-to-day actions and right in the middle of the show blast, "shout to mah biggest fan, Ronald." I could understand if these people got something out of the show. But they don't. There is no financial gain from watching the show. No acknowledgment from the cast (besides the general appreciation of fans). Nothing is gained from watching this overly intimate show.

Are people trying to learn how to deal with kids? From TV? Really? I guess that isn't as farfetched as it sounds, seeing as how more How-To's are to view than to read. But it still doesnt add up. Who the fuck wants eight kids????

And then I hit a moment of realization. It's all a conspiracy by all the major television networks. Millions upon millions of ordinary citizens of our proud and intelligent United States of America don't really watch all that much reality television. Those damned exec's at the networks lie about the ratings! I don't know how yet, haven't figured them out (they're really so damned sneaky) but I just know the American people aren't complete zombies who will watch whatever the media tells them to watch, and empty-mindedly swallow it whole. Please, how in the world could that be true? Treason I say!

Those witty television networks...You'd think they're the ones running America.
