Have reality shows finally pushed it too far?

I'm glad that you made this thread. I agree that these "reality" TV shows have no standards when it comes to the skanks...er..."classy ladies" that they have on the show.

For example, let's take the show, The Bachelor.

Announcer: Let's meet our Bachelor! Here's Tom Smith. Tom's dad is Professor Smith from Stanford University; the same man that discovered the cure for cancer. Tom is actually Doctor Tom and is a shoe-in for this year's Nobel Peace Prize for his work in Interstellar Biochemical Anatomy.

Announcer: Now, let's meet our first girl! Heather is an exotic dancer from Palm Beach, Florida!

Heather: Oh my God! I'm like in the camera now, right...oh wow...it's like taping me and stuff? OK. Like, I want a guy who can like, make me laugh, but not with bad jokes. [plays with hair] I don't like the jokes about bunnies. [twirls hair] Bunnies are cute and stuff and they were in the book in college. Did I say I was a cheerleader in college? Wow...look at the shiny light...oh, that's the camera?

It's almost like they go out of their way to get the most air-headed, vacuous, skankalicious tramps they can find. WTF?

They make non-skanks feel better about their turtle neck sweaters and armpit hair.

Do you really expect anything more from a show premised on the concept that people can meet their ideal match through a TV show?
