    Reality TV is so darn fake

    I don't watch TV much, barely ever really. Recently I just had a bit of time off and lounged around the house. Figured I'd watch some TV. I can't believe that some of these shows are passed off as reality. It's so obviously acting. Do people really follow and fall for this stuff?

    Repo man and Worlds Worst Tenants are the ones I came across. So fake it's silly! I guess it doesn't take much to entertain folks these days... Now I know why I don't watch much TV, it's mostly garbage.

    I think I made it through 15 minutes of that Repo Man crap before turning it off.

    I somehow keep ending up back at Fox News after it's said and done.

    When all else fails, you can fall back on to wrestling! When I was a kid, I really used to think that stuff was real.

    I thought Kitt was real. Until I met the car at universal studios and talked to it. Then as I was leaving, a huge garage was closing and there was about 30 identical transams in there. That's when I learned that the car must not survive those jumps that I see on TV

    Ahh... to be a kid again!

    I did the same thing ... No wait, I'm sorry, it was the state of the union address with the president when I did that. Wrestling/white house ... Same difference!

    Only ones I like are Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, and American Pickers. Not because I think they are real, but I like seeing some of the stuff they get.

    Oh, and Brandy on Storage Wars has a nice rack.

    I cant stand any of that crap and dont allow it in my house.

    The only think I hate about Storage Wars are the inflated prices. They price the stuff as if it was new when they can only get 1/10 the price they claim. It's ruining if for people who really do this stuff for a living because you get newbies out there who over bid on stuff ruining it for the average Joe trying to make a buck.

    I literally have not sat in front of a television in over 10 years, UNLESS i was watching a rented movie or something off of NetFlixs. Television is nothing more than a huge assault on my senses and intelligence. There are only about 4 or 5 channels worth watching but the cable companies force you to pay 100$ and have 150 useless channels of garbage - no thanks.

    So true. I can't think of a program worth watching outside of history and discovery channels!

    No teen pregnancy is down it's because they now believe (due to MTV) Oral/blowjobs is not sex so it's OK. I don't necessarily disagree with this.

    I've been lusting over Nabila Hannis on that show. I guess she's replacing Hester full time. The show is fake too. When they fired Hester, he spilled the beans. The interesting stuff they find in the lockers is planted there by them too.

    Eh, wrestling is closer to being real than a lot of the other crap they pass off as sports. Besides, if wrestling wasn't a work, the matches would be awful and boring. It'd basically just be UFC without any of the punches, kicks, knees or elbows.

    Did you say "darn"?
