    Ok, i am tired of hearing and seeing JESSICA SIMPSON on tv! Like that Newlyweds(why do i care what rich them are doing?), and their stupid Variety show(its not still going on, is it?) and her lame commercials for that KFC, PizzaHut and those damn mints. its like, just because everyone thinks shes an airhead, she has to go play an airhead on every single commercial? It's so fake and annoying! Anyone can play stupid!

    Also..Paris and Nicole...like i dont really care about those rich girls, same with Donald Trump..ew hes so gross and i think he did some commercials, but its so stupid! OH..and Carson Daly..he has that ridiclous show, like a "late nite" sort of thing, he's so boring. I just think its dumb that alot of shows are just about rich people or celeberties..like about their life or whatever, but yea...who elce? I know theres more...:rolleyes:

    I am sick of seeing Jessica Simpson everywhere also. I dont think the dumb-blonde act is funny~its rather annoying.
    Paris and Nicole are quite annoying as well...that is why I dont watch that show. I am just sick in general about how everything we see on tv has elements of celeberty in it. Reality shows, commercials, and even the sitcoms are starting to write shows based on celeberties....like the charachters all have jobs in show biz and stuff. Atleast I heard that about some of the pilots being submitted to the networks. I am sick of how this world is celeberty obsessed! These people who make RIDICULOUS amounts of money for what they do.....Personally I wish that instead of cameron diaz making 20 million a film, a few hundred thouand for an "apperance" that doctors and teachers and care givers should all be making that money and the people in the entertainment industry should make a humble amount. And the way they are portrayed in the media....you would think that they are some super human spechies or even royalty! It is just stupid. I hate celeberties, I really do. Ok....my rant is done.

    i can't stand jessica simpson!!! it's horrible how now any muscian can just flip themselves into an actress or whatever when sales go down or they simply "think" they don't have enough money. talent isn't even neccisary anymore. not only her but hillary duff, raven, lindsay lohan,ect. you get my point.

    I'm gonna have to go one farther and say anyone from any season. Reality tv isn't. Plain and simple. Like i turned on Survivor ONCE just to kinda see wtf it was all about right? give it it's fair chance. Oh, it failed horribly. A show called 'Survivor' should drop ppl in the jungle each equipped with a basic survival pack and say a GPS in case of a REAL emergency. Each gets a mini hat cam or whatever and then... it's go time. I turned on Survivor and these nimwits were trying to get fruit in a basket about their head by catapulting it off a board. Uhmmm.... ok..... I never realized that was a survival skill of any sort. Maybe i just completely missed the point, maybe. I'm willing to go out and say i could be wrong. But i mean honestly, wtf is going on when adults are competeing on a game show like that, playing games i saw 7-12 year olds doing on kids game shows back when i was a kid - i was born in 1980 to give you a general reference of time here.
    Then there are these 'make-over' shows. House, interior design, wife, husband, yard, iguanna.... what next a make-over show for goldfish? I mean these are the saddest example of ppl i have seen. Ok, i grew spent most of my life - up to about 16-17 being short and generally slight than average looking or so. I was like 4'11 - 5'2 in 8th grade, i was 14 at the time i passed, early summer birthday and all... And well, basically was your average 98 lb weakling like person. BUT the summer between 8th grade & freshman year i grew, alot, like 6 inches in one summer, weird indeed. Eventually i got to about 5'11 - 6'0 or so. So the short thing went away. I started to take care of myself better, basic general knowledge stuff, walking a bit more, biking, and generally just doing stuff. Also my genreal 'looks' improves to as i got myself in shape. And then i also moved and decided to 'change' I shed the geekily, i am nobody attitude and just sorta decided that here i would not take anymore crap from ppl. Well, it sorta worked, i ended up in geeksville anyway, but i also transended beyond that and just grew into a rather social butterfly you could say. Just that the geeksville kids were still my favorite ppl because of their attitudes and whatnot. But my point to this short auto-biography is this... I changed my entire life around then (granted i am doing it again now but that's a different side of the coin) Just by simple common sense and a bit of effort. The ppl on these make-over shows (vegetable, animal, or mineral make-overs) could just as easily, if not easier - do the same with the same or less effort. They are just too damned lazy or incometant or co-dependant on others to do it. I mean what the hell is with these complete plastic surgery make-overs ? If these procedures were commonly affordable, the world would suck. Granted there are alot of ppl out there that should not be allowed to breed (based on physical or mental shortcomings) -- i know that's mean, but, in order for us as a society to succeed and thrive, sadly true -- BUT if everyone had access to these general plastic wonders then wouldn't what is defined as beuaty be slowly molded into 1 of 10 convienent packages like a super-value meal ? I want their eyes, and those ears, ect ect. With a lack of new models i wouldn't want to see the barbie doll world. I know i am sorta be contradictory and straying from the subject but in order to make my point extensively clear i sometimes feel the need to ramble on so as to not leave to many gray areas for ppl to try and fill in for me and misconstrew what i am trying to say.
    Holy crap - i just looked up @ the screen and saw how much i have rambled on and on... :rolleyes: BUT yet i go on... because, well i have a voice and i have alot to say and these boards seem like the ideal place to say them... For once i think i have found a place where i can state my opinion and get actuall input back on it rather than ppl trying to cut it down or just be all NO, you are wrong !! your opninon is bullshit !! So i will continue ^_^
    Now on to some other t.v. show travesties... Could the talk show crap please die already ? I really don't care if Jenny's girlfriend is pregnant with her brother's lover's siamese twins joined at the nose... I really don't care if your kids are out of control. Apparently you failed somewhere, somehow and are just failing to admit it to yourself. I don't care if you significant other cheated on you and OMG, lied about it. Get a grip, if he/she/it is an asshole/dick/penguin MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE !!! Stop trying to save a doomed to fail mairrage/life partnership/written contract. In all the energy and years you have wasted trying to get John Boy to love ou, you probably passed up on 15 other ppl that would have loved you and treated you better just because you were afraid of something stupid. Now, i realize that there are situations, disorders, whatnot that can be blamed/diagnosed/voo-doo-ed away... but there are also fixes or cures, or maybe just a cold bucket of water that you need to get on with your life.
    Let me see... where to go from here... Yeah, i have lotsa opinions... maybe you don't agree with them and that's fine - it's just an opnion. I am not accusing you specifically of anything or passing any judgement on you specifacally, yeah there are exemptions from things - obviously - but sometimes, there is not. So with that mini-disclaimer said.... onto the next t.v. injustice....
    Police, cop, jury, jail, court, legal, & lawyer shows.... enough already. ppl are watching this and starting to find new ways to exploit and get around your laws by doing this to such an extent. You are giving the criminals the answers. I mean forensic shows. ok, a killer watches enough of those then he will in effect learn of many ways to cover his/her/their tracks that they may not have thought of that could have gotten them caught in the past. It's like revealing your hand to everyone at the poker table, uhg, poker shows, ok that's later.... But the point remains. Sure they are getting more ppl into those areas of studies, but what about when the general criminal population knows of how to avoid that area of studies ? Also it's not as if these 'tachniques' are actually used in the majority of cases. I wouldn't be surprised if they just happened to invent a few along the way in making these shows that have not been thought of before. Granted those skills are now out there - AND known to the general public. As for the lawyer shows... ppl complain oh, the prisons are crowded. Yeah because Joe Innocent thought he could defend himself ands save alot of money because he watched <insert show here> And then he gets nailed on some technicality he never knew existed because he didn't go to law school and learn what to a lwayer could be common sense. Just an example. Besides so many ppl are following the letter of the law and not the spirit of the law. Different things, mind you sometimes the letter of the law has been broken but not the spirit. Let me think is can come up with a commonly available way to make this point... <<< Jeopardy Music >>> AH yes. The movie Con-Air... if you have seen it you probably know what i mean. Nicolas Cage's character broke the letter of the law, yes. But the spirit ? In such a situation as that... i don't know... I think the government should take responsibility for ppl they train and not leave that on the person they train. Natural instinct is often stronger than any 'training' it's called survival, fear, anger... kinda need to see the movie to know what i mean i guess. It also kinda contradicts it's self. Ok, sure, he killed one innocent man in self-defence... how many died on the plane... also in self defense and to save other ppl. To save others.... like say as he did for his wife @ the start of the movie? But, go look for consistancy n a movie right ? So i s'pose that may not be the BEST example, but it works i guess...
    Oh, my gawd... do i ever shut-up ?? I'd be surprised if anybody even bothers to read this far... it is rather... extensive? Cartoons ?? WoW... I am not even getting started on the subject. My brain would pop. Yeah - i think i need a bit of a break... perhaps i'll find another thread later that makes me go hmmmmm..... but until then... I am off... way off...

    LMAO!! SinFire your rant cracked me up. You sound like me going off on the evils of crap television. I pretty much hate it with a few exceptions. I can't listen to you cut up cartoons though, i do so love them! Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and a few others on Adult Swim, i just love. I agree on most points though. Most of what is on television that i can tell is mindless inane drivel and it blows my mind that people actually let themselves get lost in that shit. I cannot stand watching someone zone out on crappy tv and mentally insulting advertisments. It makes me want to retch. And all these jackasses living vacariously through someone else's experiences. Why the fuck does anyone WANT to watch Jessica and Justin or Ed or whoever the hell he is, go about their everyday blah blah blah. It's not even like they really live an exciting lifestyle, is it? I guess i can't say, i've never seen more than 5 minutes which was certainly enough to evoke a hearty grimace of pain..
    I guess it's somewhat important to be aware of pop culture and current trends, keep aware of what this generation seems to be ingesting daily, but holy crap. It makes me feel generally embarrassed to be viewing it.

    Yeah I love cartoons too - though stuff like "Cartoon Cartoons" just suck - including some Japanese animation, which seems to annoy quite a few people. The Japanese are often just way ahead of us artistically when it comes to animation. What often pisses me off is the fact that many Americans have a rigid conception of cartoons/animation as being children's entertainment only, period, and thus resulting in bitchy parental groups howling at many adult-themed animated series. It's not unlike how they used to blow up over video games (not that they still don't), seeing them as exclusively children's entertainment.

    I also usually hate those shows like "Cribs," where basically they have some rich-as-hell celeb go "hey I've got money flowing out of my ass, and this here's my big multi-million-dollar playpen."
