The Truth is there is No Reality

We see "reality" tv on every channel now.  Every occupation can have a "reality" show from Socialites with sex tapes to Alaskan Crab Fishermen.  I know that everyone in the TV industry makes these because they are cheaper to do than sitcoms or dramas but I feel like the producers are shitting on our intelligence.  The fact that some of these shows not only make it to the air but actually thrive makes me want to shove my head in a hole in the ground and cry.  Ryan Seacrest is the anti-christ.  He sits in his office and, since he has become so insanely successful, comes up with the most insane, lame, tired ass ideas and has everyone running around trying to apease him.  His associates would probably agree with any "reality" idea he came up with.  He could pitch an idea for a show about taking homeless bag ladies off the street, insemenating them with the seed of Mel Gibson, give them a home in Beverly Hills, follow them around for the duration of their pregnancy, do a four camera shoot of the birth, take the baby away, have it adopted by a transgendered black Jewish couple, and kick the formerly homeless woman back out on to the street or shoot her in the head and networks would be clamoring for the chance at taking this reality show on just because Seacrest came up with it.  And you know what, the show would probably be just as popular as the warmed over pile of cat feces called the Kardashians. 
Why do we watch these shows?  Why are any of us intrigued by them?  I don't know but we are all making Kim Kardashian $35 million a year because we watch her and her dumb sisters on E!  Before we know it her and Seacrest are going to join forces in a Mega-Marriage, call themselves the Sea-dashians, and take over the entire world.  Could you imagine what would happen if those two were married?  They would make super annoying, super hot little offspring who would also get their own shows and we would be stuck in the endless cycle of Sea-dashians.
There are plenty of good, interesting shows on TV but they get lost in the shuffle of crap offered up by Lifetime, Bravo, and E!  Breaking Bad is good.  The Soprano's was great.  Dexter is brilliant. Mad Men is (from what I hear) excellent (but I don't know because I can't find it because all the damn reality crap on every channel).  Everyone needs to ban together and stop watching the Kardashians, The Bachelor, Hardcore Pawn, Dog the Felony Bounty Hunter, and the stupid, spoiled Housewives of where ever.  If we all vow to boycott these terrible shows and start watching shows that were actually written by smart people.  Dumb people who think you are dumb are the ones writing and coming up with these reality shows.  They think that you are stupid and that you will watch whatever heaping pile of fetal pig vomit they put in front of you.  Prove them wrong!  Turn off the crap and turn on HBO.  Watch a documentary about something you know nothing about.  Do something to put these shows out of business....unless you want your children to be "Keeping up with the Sea-Dashians"
