Oh look, one of those basic cable reality-teevee families is getting another reality show. And we are posting it, because that is apparently what we do here, which is yet another reason why we are all washing our hands of this daily deluge of mental sewage and walking away, with a smile of relief on our faces and a song in our hearts. It is truly time to leave the Internet, isn't it? Wouldn't you rather be reading a nice book, outside on your "coffee break" or whatever? Wouldn't it be fun to destroy your television
Any institution where this is on constantly will become an institution for the criminally insane. (The very thought of this "show" has me ready to get up and go off the whole grifting lot of 'em, which I think would be the criminal part.)
I did that once when I was out of work, and found I liked it pretty well, stuck with for a year or 2 after I got a job. Downloading bootlegs was my fulltime job for a while. Now, I'm at the opposite end, I've gotten soft and now have Dish with the full HBO 1-11 package, DVR, buying UFC fights like a dumbass. I tell myself it's to support the economy. Keep fighting the good fight tho.
i have not watched tv since the early 90's. i'm not kidding. we occasionally get series (deadwood, buffy, dr who, modern family) recommended by friends but no actual feed in this house.
i have not missed ANYTHING. and this was pre internet...
now, if i could only quit wonkette i could walk away from so much crap that makes me so angry...
i lost a $$$$ job i HATED and am again doing the (low paying) thing i love. it's good to remember that when i wake up at 3 am worrying about the mortgage...
course, we now routinely eat kraft cheddar explosions for dinner, but hey! there's always cheap booze...
And speaking of Bristol &amp; reality: <i>ANCHORAGE, Alaska&mdash;Bristol Palin admits her recent change in appearance was due to a procedure -- but not plastic surgery. The 20-year-old daughter of 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tells Us Weekly that she underwent corrective jaw surgery in December, a month after she finished third on ABC&#039;s &quot;Dancing with the Stars.&quot; Her face now appears thinner, with higher cheekbones and an angular jaw. The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents&#039; Association dinner in Washington, D.C. &quot;Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons,&quot; she told the magazine for its May 23 issue, which will be on newsstands Friday.</i>
That comment sat there unmolested for 19 hours.
IN THE ANALS OF WONKETTE, PEOPLE!
&quot;Just a little off the chin area, kthxbye!&quot;

I didn&#039;t think they&#039;d ever out-stupid Jersey Shore. I was wrong.
I&#039;m forcing my TV to wear a burqa. (Actually, it hasn&#039;t been turned on since the Super Bowl, but just in case, you know?)
I dunno ... &#039;Think of America&#039; might not be enough to get me through it.
Is that 6 pm EST, or GMT? This is important - I got stuff to do that day!
So I&#039;m guessing it&#039;s got kind of a &quot;Hee Haw/Jefferson&#039;s/Nip,Tuck&quot; vibe going for it.

Get me a ticket to LA, I&#039;ll use my stunt dick to do the job, for America.
Watch it.
To paraphrase the old Hollywood remark about sincerity, &quot;Reality is everything. Once you can fake that, you have it made.&quot;
