Re: Reality TV lowers the bar again

First off, big reality TV hater here. The most pointless programming trend in the history of television...there isn't a single positive aspect in the whole genre.

That being said, I've learned to accept that it's part of the TV landscape (though it appears to be lessening a bit... [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] ) And rarely do I see something on television that makes me so angry I want to do something about it. But "The Simple Life" is going too far.

The commercials I've seen for the new "Interns" season are un-****ing-believable. For those that haven't seen it, there is apparently an episode that revolves around these two bitches working in a funeral home. Did you read that? A FUNERAL HOME. The promotion shows them spilling cremated remains on the floor and attempting to scrape them back into an urn, dropping coffins and basically ****ing around with PEOPLE'S DEAD RELATIVES.

Who in their right mind would greenlight such a tasteless scenario for a reality show?

My grandfather recently passed away and it was hard enough dealing with all the emotions that accompany a funeral. I would have sued everyone in sight if that kind of **** had gone on with my family. It's not right and it shouldn't be encouraged.

I'll be voicing my displeasure to Fox (not that it will do any good...they'll probably cancel Arrested Development just to spite me) but I encourage everyone to do the same.

I can't believe we've sunk this low...
