Okay it’s not the end of the World, that’s just an over exaggeration. But after watching ‘Meet the Kardashins’ last night it got me thinking about television and the programmes that broadcasted to us. We are offered a multitude of channels which beam to us the latest goings on worldwide, as well as providing us with entertainment, which is supposed the keep us glued to the television for hours on end.
However it seems that some programmes have lost the plot and believe that entertainment comes in the form of portraying the lives of societies idiots and imbeciles. Showing us how humans are degenerating, from the upper class, right down to the lower class. Television shows like ‘The Jeremy Kyle Show’, ‘Cribs and Teen Cribs’, ‘My Super Sweet 16’ and of course ‘Meet The Kardashins’, all highlight the stupidity of humankind.
‘Meet The Kardashins’ a show which as the title gives suggests, gives the audience a chance to meet and see into the lives of the Kardashins. A bunch of brainless so and so’s who have more money than sense. While the show deals with their turbulent life, you soon come to realise that their life isn’t hard. As for example they get all weepy because their boyfriend is cheating on them. Meanwhile I’m laughing hysterically. This is quickly followed “lets take a trip to New York or Miami”. Oh dear! Isn’t life just so difficult for them. As an audience you just can’t sympathise with these people when they start flinging money around like theres an endless supply and they can do whatever they want, except the right thing which would be to help those in need.
So its survival of the fittest…or who has the most money now and we as an audience will sit back and embrace this, watch it with intent, aspire to be like these people. And sure if things carry on this way it will be the end of the World, but strangely I feel fine. I’m content to sit back, let this all happen, shout, laugh and bleed my emotions till my hearts content at the television until I feel perfectly fine.
