CHOCK FULL O' NUTRIENTS

I keep looking at the lists of reality TV shows that are going to come out of have already done so, and it greatly disturbs me.
It raises a good question: How long until a bloodsport is concieved? I can't help but thinking something like "The Running Man"/"Manhunt" (the game) are close in the near future. And what's really fucking scary, is that people will watch. Mal

That was kind of an animated show. Violence in cartoons has transcended the years since TV has come about, I'm actually talking about a real deal bloodsport.

I remember there was once this competition show that had people from different divisions of the US Military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Blah blah blah) go against each other in mission scenarios (rescue the pilot) and they would use something for shooting enemies that popped up. I think was a laser and the guns were loaded with blanks or something.
And I wouldnt be suprised if they started airing things like paintball. I think it'll be like the wrestling shows. You saw him fall in a pit of fire last week, but now he's back for revenge!! I dunno if it'll ever go that far. Maybe it will become a thing where "accidents" happen more and more. |

People watch Reality TV for the "accidents", so what happens when a show consists of nothing *but* accidents?
I can just see someone being hunted through a decrepit city in a kill or be killed scenario, and that being televised. Ugh. Mal

All "Reality TV" means is that the people are not hired actors, and the shows are supposedly unscripted. That is it.
It's a waste of time, and hopefully just a fad in TV that will die out SOON.

What if they eventually air 2 teams of people. and basically they knock the crap out of eachother without any padding or anything and throw eachother to the ground...stomp their feet and do it again...
oh wait that's rugby. Real violence on t.v has always been around. Cartoons today are actually less violent than before. think about bugs bunny and that stuff. That roadrunner and wiley coyote. It was all about the humor before. now with cartoons they try to make it less violent for kids. dexter and all that stuff.

After Paradise Hotel stole my life for a few months, I decided not to watch them anymore. I can't believe that Charla screwed Dave over so bad!!!!

I hate you all. Sports are quite different from televised murder, which is where this country is headed. But joking about it seems good at the time. We're the Roman fucking Empire right now. And they had gladatorial matches for fun, if I recall. We just haven't reached that stage yet.
Ciao. Mal

Jam930 is that a pic of you or someone else..I mean..damn!
Anyways, If there was a bloodsport show on tv I would sure as hell watch it, but I'd still think it's morally wrong. |

Well, I thought this thread was going to be different and I would be able to rant about how much I hate reality TV (so much to the point that my AP portfolio revolves around my distaste for it.) The fact that "Reality" TV has more writers than most sitcoms is ironic.
But about the "BloodSport" idea. I think it is a possiblity. Seeing that Reality revolves around our primitive instincts as humans. However, I do not think it would get to the point of killing due to the laws set forth in America. "After all we live in a society that pays homage to the shallow media god; where the war in Iraq, the appearance of a seal in the Tama River and the sudden marriage of a popular actor (Yosuke kubozuka) attract the same attention." -Peep "TV" Show |

Reality TV:
Survivor = good. This is a wonderful psychological game. It's fun to see 16 people all being the most Machiavellian they can be. They have to pretend to like the people they're secretly plotting to stab in the back. Anyone who watches one episode of this is likely to think it's stupid, but anyone who watches one season of this is likely to think it's deep, strategic, and very interesting. OMG STRANGERS IN THE SAME HOUSE! = terrible. DECIDING WHICH PATHETIC SIMPLETON I WANT TO GO OUT WITH LOL! = terrible. |
