I love entertainment, I will admit that the drama of some lives is a bit more than what my own life can handle. I enjoy Real Housewives, it comes on after 10pm and is not directed towards the younger generation, but more towards, well a housewife. My favorite characters are none other than Danny Provenzano from New Jersey, who brought in REAL LIFE drama that had viewers from everywhere gearing up for "the next scene", absolute genius! How about Lisa Vanderpump, and her Class Act from Beverly Hill's, I now see what a lady truly should aspire to be and did I mention perhaps how to "behave"? Just a suggestion, for she does have that part down.
Some on the series aren't even married so I'm trying to understand that aspect, or is it that they would like to aspire to be a "housewife"? The term "Housewife" is the woman who has children, does her own laundry, dishes, making the beds up as the children go off to school and doesn't work, her kids and the maintaining of her home are the structure of her position and she doesn't get a paycheck for it. Let's go back to the movie "Mr. Mom", that in a sense, while he was a male, actually performed a "Housewife's Duty". Clearly, not the Real Housewives of Bravo Television eh?
Now, let's go to the other "darker" sides of Reality television, the Snooki side; aka Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi. An Italian last name, wait aren't her parents from Chile? And how about the rest of that Jersey Shore bunch? While only 2 on the show are even Italian they insist to be "Guido's and Guidettes"? Urbanizing the dictionary at best, and clearly dumbing down our institution of English. They have one thing going for them, Sunday dinner, and it appears that they can't even pull those off correctly anymore.
Let's now move on to 16 and pregnant, teenage girls having babies and physically abusing their parents, their mates on National Television. Yes something every teenage girl should consider? Are you kidding me? I can't continue my thoughts of this behavior nor the fact that it's even allowed on television, where is Dr. Phil and or a padded cell?
My blog today is directed at the MTV new series "Skins", I have only seen the previews, I try to be a "hip" mom and see and view everything that my own teen can see through his eyes. My mouth hit the floor on the "previews". Literally/physically- JAW-DROPPING scenes. You want sex, exploitation, homosexual in your face 3 wrongs can and will make you no longer RIGHT, this is it! Reality television to the next level OUT OF CONTROL FILTH directed at none other than your children. Someone stop this circus, cling to your bibles and pray for our kids- immediately, not tomorrow, but right now. I don't think that "reality television" is going to be the end of us, but when we exploit our kids, when we thrust the wickedness behavior out there and make it seem as though it's normal behavior, what does that teach them exactly? I'm not saying some reality isn't fun, entertaining, but how much is too much? I think I will stick with the Housewives. At least that way I am only enduring one prozac moment per week no?
God be with all of us.....
