'reality' my ass.

I have a secret obsession with the fantastic drama, Grey's Anatomy ... pretty much, over the top, addicted. Now - I think back in college when I took an entire course on Media Analysis. We would breakdown the most basic concepts in TV programs such as The Simpsons, Family Guy, Desperate Housewives, you get the point. Of course when I was in college I didn't get the chance to analyze this show ... it was brand new and gushing with love affairs, relationship mishaps ( which I'm pretty sure all of us at one time have experienced ) ... I'm still not quite sure why I enjoy this show as much as I do - maybe it's the characters' quirkiness, their neurotic, self destructive ways that I, for some reason, can relate to ... and see as pretty much life in a nutshell.


The only reason I bring up this show, is because last night, I once again turned on MTV for my Monday night fix of The Hills - and was horribly disappointed. I did not feel revitalized, emotionally awakened, enlightened ( okay these are all exaggerations!!! HAH) But not only was the content bland and boring ... it was full of twenty-something girls that act like they should be on the cover of "BOP" magazine ... I'm sorry. The truth HURTS.

Girls - SHAPE UP ... or SHIP OUT ... Ughhh. I'm OVER IT.

Ohh yeah ... AND I did not turn on The Hills to inevitably watch 22 minutes of trailers for the nasty skank ass Tila Tequila. Body shots, bisexuals, stripping ... totally not what I signed up for.

Okay Okay. I understand ... I DO work in Advertising ... HOWEVER .. this is LUDICROUS! I'm pretty sure I only watched about 10 minutes of the actual program ... I have officially put in my two weeks - NO MORE HILLS FOR ME ... Blahhh .. LAME - O ...


P.S. Wait a minute ... I might get bored next Monday night, so let's say I'm 'thinking' about boy-cotting this waste of space 'reality show.' HAH ...
