As far as I'm concerned, these people are all just making a grab for the *new* American Dream, fifteen minutes of fame. Most of them figure that if Omarosa can make the pages of Us magazine in a story about her boobs, maybe they have a shot too.<br /><br />The depravity is not in how the show exploits these people, but in how 20,000 people wait in sleet, snow, hail or heat for an opportunity to be made fun of, becaue it might get them on TV.<br /><br />F***ing Americans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35316145.post-11037347202938161342007-01-20T22:08:00.000-07:002007-01-20T22:08:00.000-07:00Man, what's with all the negativity?Man, what's with all the negativity?The Capitalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410365285434448835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35316145.post-72683410539253199452007-01-20T17:02:00.000-07:002007-01-20T17:02:00.000-07:00I am pretty sure that the reason that the earlier ...I am pretty sure that the reason that the earlier shows get better ratings is because they appeal to that nasty little part of us that actually enjoys watching poor people being made miserable. It actually makes us feel better to laugh at them and watch them be mocked for having the courage to try for something. <br />This is why Simon is on the show. He is mean to them and we smile and tisk at him for it, all the while feeling better about ourselves.Torqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187892279807810160noreply@blogger.com
