Here's the link to the original article this is a response too.
I selected this article because I am both a cynic and a hypocrite when it comes to "reality" television. I love The Jersey Shore, not because I believe the people on it are real, but simply because it comes off to me as pure comedic entertainment. It's funny to see people so stuck in their own little worlds, and now I watch it just for the big egos these people have. The cast has so much money now, obviously, yet still let MTV shut them into a house with no sort of media (computer, cell phones, TV, etc.) and are forced to sleep on twin beds, some three to a room. I know they don't realize it but because they are forced to spend so much time with each other it's obvious that fights or drama will ensue. I am also a cynic since most reality shows come off to me as complete garbage. I have a friend who is really into Keeping Up with the Kardashians and they just appear to me as such attention seeking morons that I have to leave the room, it gives me that big of a headache.
