It pains me...

TV Guide and Bravo commissioned a poll. They asked Americans "which reality personality do you most hate?" Now I would have guessed Dubya would come up the winner, but I would have been wrong.

Oddly enough America went with Trump dumpee Omarosa. Apparently the TV Guide/Bravo poll was related to reality TV personalities. Who knew?

Anyway, reality TV is so pervasive in our culture that it has outstripped just about everything else in importance. People just don't care about the real villains in the world.

Heck, Cindy Sheehan, despite massive PR, is barely registering in the American conscience. I guess America prefers it's women braindead.

Our nation is in a weird place. One generation cares all too deeply. Another doesn't care at all. One wants strict regulations on just about every aspect of society, the other completely ignores the rules. There is so little common ground that I wonder if we will ever be able to resolve these differences.

Oh well. It's late and I have to go to work tomorrow. On a reality TV show.


Currently I'm listening to Miss Me Blind from the album "Billboard Top 100 of 1984" by Culture Club

You make an excellent point, Atlas, but cheer up. For every Omarosa, thankfully, there is a Tommy Lee.

Where some see pornography, Bunny Ashcroft, I see art and beautiful feminine form.

FYI, this has nothing to do with freedom of the press or the .xxx domain, Hans. Sorry, but with your various ramblings about celebrity nudity and the like and, as I think back, wasn't there one about sex with furniture and another one about a goth sex site (all under the auspices of your OCD fascination), you've somehow managed to convince me that you're really just a perv at heart. Nothing wrong with that. Let your freak flag fly. Nice example to set for your daughter, BTW. And the name is Washington.

OOO & .XXX
