Reading Analysis

Ah reality tv how I loathe it so. As much as I may hate the subject of reality tv and the irony of the title I did agree with many of the points brought up by the authors. Specifically " Voting Democracy Off The Island " I never paid attention to the underlying conservative themes reality shows portray. Such themes as family, marriage, and love. This all at first seems silly when one looks at the "Fear Factors" and "Average Joe" show's that pit people against each other in the hopes of love and fortune. I must say everytime I watch an ad for another reality tv show I can't help but think of the world that the movie "Idiocracy" portrays and how that world is more and more becoming our future. I weep for the future.

I'm always surprised at how well you express yourself in class as compared to your blog postings.

Remember: the postings are supposed to be 250 words long. I checked this one, and it's 137.
