I’m not sure if it’s a sign that society is becoming stupider, or if they have found a way to control our minds through the televisions… I personally think it is the latter, as I consider myself to be an intelligent person. But I am worried by the fact that I seem to have an addiction to almost every show that vh1 offers me. There are some I can’t get with, but the others, no matter how completely moronic, I am ALL ABOUT. I will sit up and count down until new episodes come on, I discuss them with my friends, then I get angry at myself for watching and end up repeating this cycle next week…
I absolutely HATE Ray J. I think he is ridiculous, petty, simple, and completely indulgent. But I make sure to catch each new episode of his show. I truly dislike the caricatures of women portrayed on his show, yet I find myself dissecting them and everything they say and do with other ppl who share my addiction. I was the same way with Flavor of Love, I mean what woman really wants to be with that crispy dude, I love NY, bka- Lamb Chop of love…. Again you cannot convince me that any of those men really wanted to be a part of her life, especially after seeing that man/mom of hers Mrs. Patterson. Then we have Rock of Love, now although I’m not a BM fan, I can actually belive that some of those women want to be with him. He is not horrible looking and still kinda has a career. But the trailer trash/porn star cocktail of people that they give him is just crazy! The inappropriate mix of lace/weave/tattoos/spandex/and thongs is just a disaster in the making. I do of course end up watching the madness that ensues when all of these crazy people are put in a room with huge amounts of liquor…
So then we have the hot mess that is Making the Band on MTV. That dude Diddy knows how to make a hit, I aint even gonna front. Since he took over this show its been silliness, pettiness, and ghetto fabulousness all wrapped up in a delightful NY backdrop. From “The Band”, who I don’t even wanna get started talking about, to Danity Kane, who recently imploded from within due to the whorish actions of some members, to the bitchassness that is Day 26. I like the music of Day 26, but cannot respect these dudes as men for anything. I have never seen so many grown men bust into tears, have petty fights, get they mamas called on them, etc, than these dudes… But you know what, as much as I wanna slap each member, except for Mike, I stay watching.
Another channel that serves up foolishness on the regular is BET. I absolutely hate the cast of Harlem Heights. I had dreams that they would portray normal, working, intelligent, fun black adults who are doing big things in life. In reality they are petty, annoying, bottle poppin, caricatures. They talk about each other like dogs, and then smile in each others faces the next time they are out. The other show is College Hill. No words for that one… just yeah…
So many other trashy shows, little kid pageants, matchmakers, chef shows, its sad really.
I don’t want to think I have a problem but its becoming quite clear that I do. If there is a rehab I don’t want it. I prefer to watch the foolishness.
Thanks and good day.
