BUT

I'm gonna do it anyways...

You know what has to be the worst thing about mid summer time is.

The heat can zap you of strength faster then a afternoon of golf on television.

Yep, that ones a pisser.

The humidity makes it feel like you've been dipped in a vat of watery vegetable oil all day no matter how much you wash up in the sink.

Oh yeah, that sucks yeast infested donkey dick. Sure it feels great as hell to wash your face and neck up in the sink, but like ten minutes later that feeling is gone.

The problem I have that pushes both those problems to the back seat, hell into the trunk really.

A song by eighties hair band poster boys Def Leapard, plays in my head over and over again for unknown reasons. Actually, only one line of the whole song repeats over and over.

I'm hot, sticky sweet. From head to my feet, yeah.

Now THAT far out weighs either of those problems by a long shot.

Damn you Def Leapard, damn you to hell.

Oh and damn MTV while I'm at it for showing it upteen zillion times when the song was popular then showing it EVERY FUCKING TIME you have a eighties flash back show.

While I'm at it, damn them for sucking so much and for not showing actual music videos on music television.

Oh, and you can bite me with your upteen zillion reality shows that have completely infested and over ruled the channel.

You know, that movie The Truman show is looking less like a movie, and more like a prophetic view of society to come. Only Jim Carrey's character would be forced to jump over pits filled with sharks and run threw gator infested swamps to win a toaster oven or some other shit like that.

At this rate we are going to have video cameras and mics installed in everyones home. Any time your bored, eh, lets check out what the neighbors are doing at home. Oh look, there watching us on TV.

How far will reality television go?

Right now all the major television networks has at least one reality based television show. Some of them have more then you can shake a stick at and even more are being created each and every day.

We already know things, when fresh, are exciting, but eventually loses its apeals to the masses. Fads, something thats very popular for a long time before growing to such large, overwhelming proportions that everyone loses interest because of sensory overload.

Would this be an end to reality television, or would it twist into something more perverse and dementated. Its already starting to do that.

At first, just cameras in the house and following the people where good enough. But like all things in entertainment, you need to give it a new edge to keep it exciting and to keep getting the ratings.

How far will they go to keep ataining that new edge, to keep it fresh and exciting?

How far tell someone takes a step back and looks at it and thinks "whoa, this is getting out of hand."

Will we degrade so far that reality shows will actually revolve around the possibilities of living when you win, and dieing when you lose.

How I went from bitching about Def Leapard annoying repeating in my head when hot and humid to the decline of human civilization and the degredation of television entertainment, I have no clue.

I'm just gonna blame it all on MTV...
