is that saying to our society, that it is okay to have multiple sex partners without regard to STDs and principles. Also the drinking always, always going on without any limits. It only shows that we are becoming more of an addictive society than ever. It seems to me that we are always putting down the real celebrities for their faults with drugs and alcohol, but the reality stars are okay using because it is entertaining. In that case, it's becoming more and more sad.
Okay, now on to the spin off reality shows, like the I Love Money, Charm School, and the New York shows. Some of them are entertaining nonetheless, but it seems like some have just gone too far. I cannot believe how much they're trying to push New York. She is not an actress and they're just making a mockery out of her. I think it's sad to have to watch them push here into these embarrassing situations. I also really believe she hasn't tried to do the jobs that they have sent her on, so giving her money for that is a waste. There are so many unemployed people out here looking for jobs and are willing to try their best to do the work and some spoiled women is getting paid ten thousand dollars ever time she bats her eyelashes at some horny men.
I just think there should be more values in these shows. I am not the one to say there should not be any reality shows. I just think they should clean them up some. Oh and in the case of Charm School they cannot criticize the girls for drinking when they have tables overflowing with alcohol. I think maybe a little wine with their dinner is okay but if you want change, take the liquor out of the equation.
In all, reality is entertaining. You get to see people act really strange. Some are funny, and I think some of them really do have values. We are a society that thrives on drama. We often think that we are okay as long as we don't act like that, but the awful Truth is that we sometimes do and just don't realize it. I think, as simple minded as the reality shows are, we could all star in one.
