absolutely. initially i thought the concept of 'reality' tv was fantastic. when i first heard about 'survivor' i really thought we were on the verge of something monumental provided it didn't devolve into 'lord of the flies'... then i saw an episode and realized it was just an incredibly ostentatious set for yet another game show.
as for the celebrity personal lives. i've been saying it for years. celebrity is the modern divinity. our society idolizes and worships fame as the means to regain the perceived purity we all lost at birth. once we become stars then all our sins are atoned for, all our debts are paid off, and we get to eat cake and ice cream all day everyday, and poop rainbows, and live forever.
