confuses say, you so stupid.

There is currently a reality TV show about a family dealing with economic upset.  Really, a show about people dealing with real life.  This is absurd.  It is not a drama or sitcom.  It's not like "Good Times", with Florence and the kids dealing with living in the projects.  It is real life.

There used to be a day, when writers would write a show and sometimes it would work, other times it wouldn't.  But there was a certain amount of creative process that was involved.  It seems to me that they come up with a rough idea and throw a camera crew in the general direction.  When is it enough?  When we have an interactive facebook that records everything in your life so that people can tune in?

At least with movies they are trying their best to rework the same ten movie plots.  I am positive there is a room full of executives that throw darts at a wall full of random ideas.  First dart: missing limb, second dart: dolphins.  "Let's make a movie about a dolphin with a missing fin!" 

This lack of effort has slowly crept into our lives and I will not stand for it.  Fortune cookies should have fourtunes in them.  Even if they are not even close to being accurate, give it a try anyway.  I opened one up the other day, and it had a statement.

 No fortune, just a statement or observation.  You are not trying!!!  It could have easily said, "you have a pulse" and been just as relevant. 

We should always put our best foot forward, don't settle for middle of the road and more importantly, do not watch reality TV.
