Honey Boo Boo

The world is being brainwashed by reality television. Album links the show Honey Child Boo Boo with the suicide of Tony Scott to show how the brainwashing is affecting our everyday lives. Rather than help out the man on the ledge trying to end his life, people would rather videotape the whole scene and put it on YouTube for all to see. Similarly, people get enjoyment from watching a show about a mom that uses her daughter by throwing her into pageants, giving her “go go juice” that cannot be healthy for her, and telling her it is okay to grab your belly and act crazy. We really should not condone this kind of behavior and yet that is exactly what we are doing by watching the show. Reality TV like this is definitely making us more apathetic. It’s like we will do anything just for a little entertainment.

            I think we are so drawn to reality television mostly because of curiosity. We want to get the feel of other lifestyles without actually having to experience it firsthand. There is nearly every lifestyle represented on television. You can see what it’s like to be rich and famous without actually doing anything by watching Keeping up with the Kardashians. You can see what it’s like to be a big cake decorator with the show Cake Boss. You can see what life as a pregnant teenager is like by watching 16 and Pregnant. I think this is why we watch reality TV. Just to see what its like.
