Reality TV: Are You Not Entertained?



Some time back, I spoke about role models for girls and how I thought that this new generation of girls and women didn't have good fictional heroines to look up to. Sure, talking about fiction is all nice and dandy, but what about when it's real? What are we aiming for with reality TV? What are we supposed to take from it?

I guess the answer is nothing. It is meant to be entertainment after all. But when you inject reality into the equation, we have to begin to question how disturbing is our desire to be entertained. What do we as a society consider too much in regards to our amusement?
