Are we, as a nation, as a civilization, really so starved for entertainment that every vocation on the freaking planet really needs its own reality show? Does anyone really really care about the behind-the-scenes goings-on of realtors, hairdressers, dog groomers, and stage moms? Really?

What's next?

"America's Next Top Plumber"?

"Who Wants to be a Landscape Engineer"?

"The Search for the Best Female Anesthesiologist"?

"Secret Life of a WalMart Head Cashier"?

"Are You Smarter Than Gary Sinise's Third Grade Best Friend?"

"Some Skank Charlie Sheen Slept With Once When He Was High"?

Eventually, the world is going to be divided into People On Reality Shows and People Who Watch Them - there will be a 1/1 ratio - and no one is going to have a real life - it will be people who are whoring it up for the camera, or people who are dying to walk in the product-placed footwear of someone else.

  • OK, I can't stop laughing at the randomness of the Gary Sinise one. Because... Gary Sinise? Really? Kinda forgot about that guy. Thanks for the reminder. I think. I don't have an opinion. He's just, you know, Gary Sinise.
