Newlyweds reality TV for the heterosexual crowd?

[cyborg]

Reality tv is turning into schadenfreude tv. That's not good.

[Prime Choice]

You gave a whole new meaning to the term "download." ;-)

You should've been around when I gave new meaning to the term "coredump."

Err...on second thought...

Reality tv is turning into schadenfreude tv

Turning into? I thought that was the premise from the outset.

[Prime Choice]

What was that??? Blondie?

*speechless as jaw hits floor*

Core dumped (your fault)

[Prime Choice]

Quick trivia quiz! Which music artist did INXS imitate with that cue card presentation? (Yes, it was done before by another, more famous person.)

[Petronski]

Can't talk now. Eating tomato soup.

[SittinYonder]

Dylan.

[Prime Choice]

:O OMG it's Kill Switch episode!

Worse than that, dear. This is where you get my CPU to accept some inherently contradictory bit of information and my circuits explode in true Star Trek: The Original Series pyrotechnics.

(Didn't those highly advanced civilizations ever think of putting in a fuse to prevent that sort of thing? Hrm... And if the Enterprise is truly going where no man has ever been before, why are they always encountering p!ssed off aliens who don't like humans?)

[Petronski]

I thought it was Andy Warhol. I'm too sleepy.

[SittinYonder]

I may be wrong.

[Prime Choice]

Can't talk now. Eating tomato soup.

You're silly. I respect that. :o)

[Prime Choice]

Dylan.

Atsa right! Give the man a cigar!

[SittinYonder]

I thought so. I've seen that somewhere in just the last few weeks - Subterranean Blues was the song, I think. If the question were to come up again in a month no way I'd remember it.

[Petronski]

I was thinking of this moment from a video by one hit wonder Curiosity Killed the Cat: "Misfit"

As you can see, they use a Warhol impersonator. Thus, Prime, the reference to tomato soup.

I need a beer.

[pcgTheDestroyer]

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" was the song. ("Subterranean Homesick Alien" was the Radiohead song, incidentally.) But that's just The One Thing that I know...

[usadave]

I saw the original Real World on MTV and it was great... even the season with Pedro the HIV positive gay male was great. Now it's just boring sex-o-rama.

Well, it's assumed sex-o-rama. Since they never actually show anybody having sex on The Real World, you have to take their word for it that they're actually having sex.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Probably the most moral show MTV has ever aired.

By the way, Jessica Simpson is a Republican according to several "Celebrity Republican" lists on the internet.

Anybody think I'm kidding?

I've just opened that beer now...

[Hildy]

It's not that I hate watching them. So many things go through my mind. First, why do some people become so big with so little talent, and others with more talent...nothing. I also wonder why Nick Lachey agreed to do all these bizarre things, like this show and those insipid variety shows. Doesn't he know he is becomming a laughing stock? The difference with Sonny and Cher is that, as Cher said, Sonny ALLOWED himself to be the foil, the jester...but he was in charge. Everyone knows that Jessica's Father, (a Minister, I just learned) calls the shots.

Jessica Simpson is gorgeous. Flawless, and she can carry a tune. It really is hard to take your eyes off of her.

It's just why do we care about these people? Why? I don't know. Why do I buy the Enquirer? I DON'T KNOW! Why do waste a minute wondering why in the world Jennifer Anniston hasn't had a baby with Mr. Pitt...I DON'T KNOW!
