TV:Mind Boggling Shitness

I am halfway through doing my HSC exams, so I am finding new ways to procrastinate. And watching TV was an option for a small amount of time. That was, of course, until I realised how much bullshit they have on TV. Beyond the sport that nobody cares about (I kid you not, the National Paintball Championships were on 3 times in one day) and the shit house American sitcoms (I mean the really shitty shows, like "Reba". You know, the one about that stupid bitch, with the fake laughs and the really shitty jokes that no-one watching is actually laughing at?), the reality TV takes the cake in shittyness. Although there are the 4,000 games of baseball, the 6,000 American motorsports events, the 6,000,000 episodes of "Law and Order" on at once, the 9,000,000 versions of "Star Trek", it's the reality TV that really gets me. Who the fuck is interested in a show titled "Yo Momma"? And how can people seriously watch shows like "Room Raiders"? A show where people run around "raiding" 3 peoples rooms and deciding the one they like best is the one they are going to go on a date with. It does not get much sadder than going on a reality TV show to get a date.
And then there's "Pimp My Ride". And along with it comes "Pimp My Ride UK", "Auto Challenge", and probably one called "Lets Make A Stupid Looking Car With Ridiculous Features And Put It On TV In Hope That People Will Watch It". You do not need 4 shows of the same thing. That is ridiculous. And How the hell did it stay on TV for more than 6 seconds? Who the hell is watching it? It worries me. I lose even more faith in humanity.
So, I have thought of a solution to this reality TV problem. It's quite simple really. Shoot them. Again and again and again. Shoot all of the people that think these shows are a good idea. Then find all of the people that watch these shows and shoot them. Then just hope to God that someone doesn't start a reality TV show called "Life of A Reality TV Show Buff's Corpse". Or any other reality TV shows for that matter. Then, pick up your TV and hurl it at an orphan (because he may decide to create a reality TV show). Bonus points if the orphan is hold a baby seal.
I must go, or else I'll miss "Lets Make A Stupid Looking Car With Ridiculous Features And Put It On TV In Hope That People Will Watch It". And wouldn't that be terrible. I mean, it's not as if it isn't played 800 times again later on during the day. That is all.
