About time

There are some reality TV formats I can handle, and there are many more I cannot. They range from the inane to the disgusting and they all rely on appealing to the lowest common denominator. A particularly revolting show is Fear Factor, who's purpose seems to revolve around forcing Ken and Barbie Americans into eating and doing disgusting things during prime time. I refuse to watch the show even though Mrs M is partial to it.

So it's good to see that finally someone's fighting back.

I am so sick of reality TV I could maim someone. It's endemic in the U.S., I swear even the commercials over there are reality tv now.

I say we take all the reality contestants of all the shows, put them in a room, and let them kill each other off. The Survivor gets $1million and a lifetime supply of Pepsi.

Then stop the insanity.
