Since the beginning of this reality TV craze, I can honestly say I have never cared for any bit of it. Watching someone else s life on camera made me feel like I was wasting my life; which in return, this gave me a bit of a morale boost to get off the couch and do something. Some reality shows I believe are harmless and a bit informing for example "Teen Mom" I've watch very little of this show, seems boring to me but this does give insight to what it actually is like to be a teen and a mother as well. Made is another show that I just find to be helpful. I believe this show is inspiring to kids that may share the same goals as the girl/boy on the show or at least a little moving to them and other viewers. The Hills and the Jersey Shore, these shows make me want to punch my self repeatedly in the balls until I am no longer able to have kids. I say that because the messages these shows are sending out are absolutely idiotic, kids eat that stuff up like a cheap hooker at motel 5 if you know what I mean! Who the hell would want to have a kid growing up in a generation of stuck up and highly materialistic people that are taught to judge by a persons looks? On the Jersey Shore all the characters take care of themselves very well but they behave like typical Hollywood knock off/American pie douche bags, going around getting women and starting drama all around the house. Isn't it funny that each episode is packed with drama and/or a new problem/dilemma? When young kids watch these shows are they to believe this is real? And that each day of their lives will be just as problematic as these shows? I'll admit when I was younger I was a Ninja Turtles freak, I had everything from pajamas, toys, bed spreads, clothing, and even games. I loved the ninja turtles so much I would use the back scratcher as a staff and pretend I was a ninja turtle. I think I fell out of this phase when I dropped kicked my neighbor off of his trampoline and he started crying, ha you know cause in the ninja turtles people get hurt but hop right back up with a terrible come back line. Not in this case I had just witnessed the reality of what I believed to be normal. So now, why wouldn't a kid grow up thinking he/she needs to have a perfect body or a rich lifestyle in order to be normal, I mean I thought crime fighting was normal right? What will happen to the kids that do not succeed at this? Do they become the losers or as the Jersey Shore cast likes to call them "Grenades"? Further more, I don't see anything real about these shows, maybe the women they have sex with but that might not even be true. What happened to old shows where values were taught and practiced and the actors didn't suck! Who am I though, defiantly not someone in position to make a change, besides some of the things on the Jersey Shore are ridiculous but funny. So I guess I am situational on this matter (more to one side) but I know that in our society there is no such thing as situational beliefs.
