Thinking about Reality TV - Questions Remain
Too funny (from a recently discovered blog):
Finally, I feel I have been vindicated in how I hate reality TV, thank you Jesus and Chase Me Ladies ;-) Someone has written nice satire in a way I never could about this plague. I have these relatives that are so hooked on the thing, the whole family sits there for hours, and if no one stops them, they will watch the re-runs. (These are non-related relatives, you understand, no genetic connection could possibly be established with such people and myself).
* Suppose that there are ten boring people in the Big Brother house. By week 5 half of them will have been eliminated. Are five boring idiots in a house twice as boring, or only half as boring, as ten boring idiots?
* One of the contestants is staring at a wall scratching himself, his mouth hanging open: you have reached zero interest. Another contestant, barely even a cretin, arrives and says something sub-normal; now you are absolutely sobbing with boredom. You were already at zero interest levels, yet the boredom has increased! Is zero interest as boring as boredom gets, or is it possible to plunge deep into minus numbers?
