my take on reality tv and tv in general

who knew, but i think tv is hip again. yes, the beast that we've all denied so cooly to our friends as a creature that we don't play well with, is making the parlour rounds as a medium to share with your friends and loved ones on the weeknight. and reality tv, what's up with that? i think it's our latest thing to feel smug about. by not participating we can kind of scoff and watch. watch and scoff. inside we think

  1. how much better we would have done
  2. how glad that's not us up there making a fool of ourselves
  3. we could have won more money
  4. coulda seen the twist coming a mile away
  5. we woulda bailed out and said adios mf's a looong time before the rest of those shmoes.

plus it's a fun reason to drink g&t's and play poker on a monday night.
