This is why reality shows should be banned

Embedding has been de-activated, so you'll have to watch the video HERE. I came across this video before and was reminded of it again today.

I've never been a big fan of reality shows but I can understand why they can be addictive. I once got sucked into a season of Britain's Top Model and let me tell ya, when my favorite got voted off, I got majorly upset. At that point, I figured it was smarter to swear off all reality shows altogether.

However, my reaction was nowhere close to these girls' reactions. I mean, holy bloody crap. This is precisely why reality shows should be banned. They feature people you normally wouldn't care about, and are about such trivial things (such as being the next big singer or model) that you otherwise wouldn't care for. So why would you suddenly care for it all of a sudden? Because it's on TV? I don't know, I just don't see the appeal of these shows beyond getting ridiculously obsessed with them (like I did at one point).

Some shows are fine. Game shows are fine because you learn something. Talent shows are fine because they are just damn cool. But a reality show about a bunch of people eating bugs to stay alive on an island or a catfight involving two hateful personalities just seems a tad stupid. Thankfully the Top Model season I watched had some quality characters and not the shallow ones that you normally see.

Maybe this is just me being an asinine dick, but to me, the vast majority of reality shows suck.
