Mention a horrible show, any horrible show and at least one person in the room will admit to watching it. You’ll give them that shocked face and they will sheepishly say “It’s a guilty pleasure.”

BULLSHIT.

Shows like Jersey Shore, Teen Mom, and other crap are total and utter crap. (Did I mention that crap?) When did we become a society that rewards people for making a sex tape and accidentally ’leaking’ it? Oh yeah, the 90′s. BUT STILL.

And I don’t have really high expectation for TV – I don’t expect it to be intellectually stimulating. Look, I’m not a fan of Grey’s Anatomy but it is what TV is, and at least uses semi-talented people to play the angst-ridden doctors. But shows like Keeping up with Kardashians? Here’s the deal - advertisements rates are set according to how many people are watching, and the reality ‘stars’ get a cut of that rate, so every time you watch you are paying a talentless, amateur porn star to live a fake life on your TV. And teen mom? Yes, have a child while you are under 18, without an education and get rewarded for it.

I swear I am not one of the people who thinks every time you turn on the TV you should watch Nova. In fact, we are having a Dr. Who marathon here in the Phillips’ household.  So there’s that.

Yes, a lot of TV is guilty pleasure – but when your ‘guilty pleasure’ unleashes something like Snooki onto the world, I will find you.

I will hunt you down.

I will hurt you.
