I started to type a comment in respect to Josh's outburst on Real TV and quickly decided it was too big for a comment and I should just post it. so......
Big Brother is not soley to blame for the detriment of society, we must also take Survivor (where they all survive dammit), The Apprintice ('cause Trump needs more money), and the rest of the real TV crap into account.
Though unfortunately I must dissagree with TISM, Real TV does not make us all assholes, It just shows that society has lost it's imagination, and that there realy is a sucker born every minute.
Unfortunately there is no-where to go now days without being assailed by some bullsh%t from some form of Real TV, Big Brother is everywhere, but he doesn't watch us, instead he expects us to watch what he does to a bunch of self important freaks who think they will become famous because they will be on TV. The same goes for all Real TV, sure there is a prize to win, but what is the cost of entry into the game. These fools only become famous if they're lucky, and lets be honest, more aspiring actors get decent roles then Real TV rejects, all they've realy done is cash in their dignity for an increadibly slim chance at the bigtime.
So all that said I would like to point out that the concept of Real TV is not entierly bad, I mean sports are real Real TV, and not even Grant would deny that (as he could'nt and still watch his racing) TV sports can be entertaining. The problem is that Real TV is full of self indulgent wankers who think spending time on TV will solve their problems (as opposed to football where some players probably have a hardtime figuring out which side they're on).
Given liability wavers and money I'm sure a decent show could be made of Survivor (last medivac-ed wins, they get nothing and have to make do as if they realy were marooned), but there is no hope for Big Brother, it just goes to prove that some people will sacrifice their dignity for a little (quickly fading) fame, and the chance to win some money.

Firstly I like Survivor.
Secondly Big Brother is an unjustified waste of electrons.
Thirdly shows like Fear Factor, where you're supposed to do something completely frightening, are fraudulent. How can something be truly dangerous when all possible safety precautions are taken?
I could continue...but i would need to post a rant.
