Media : my rant lmfao!

Every single sitcom has certain specific cliche plots that are always revoked in other sitcoms or spin-offs, here is just a small list of shows hat have done this.

most shows I hve noticed the plot involving two of the main characters in a typical dispute, a couple, an ex, a friend, but in this case one character finds out their ex boyfriend/girlfriend is going on vacation with a new lover to a spot of signifigance to former lovers, a typical worn-out washed up idea predictable for sitcoms. Just as there are shows about drugs, alcohol and sex there will always be ideas and stories revamped back to life and there will always be a demand for television as long as there are viewers, and with new generations coming into this world, the children are relied on the same upbringing with the same mindless point of views from televisions. Not only does creating stereotypes strive to rip a fabric in our society but children grow up with the ideas that it is right to act a certain way, yet we are all aware of free rights, free speech and yes, above all free choice, though this can be debated until we have ourselves quite condundrum, but thus like all problems there is a solution, and clearly choice is the only alternative because in all reality we have no say what the media throws at us and we cannot interfer with it. The point of television is to exaggerate life to the fullest, either it poses a problem with a solution that's a thirty fucking minute quick fix when in reality it would take take days, weeks or more, but tv will have us believe that we can deal with life crisis and be done it in 30 minutes, yet when that thirty minutes is up and as you reach for the clicker to turn off the tv, you realize then that lifes problems cannot be turned off that easily with a click of a button, People will say that to appreciate life the fullest you have to really live life, and to feel pain you have to learn to take a bleed once in a while for a cause much greater, spending your life buried in soap operas and cop dramas is not going to fulfill your lifes true purpose, but then... what is lifes purpose and in what ways has the media played a role in changing that outlook on society and social situations we face in every day life, while sitcoms are the most misleading I find next to soap operas, but the one thing I liked are some television shows that have a plot that develops over a series of carefully elaborated situations and with the new age of television we saw the innovated, raw, raunchy, real life, shows such as MTV's The Real World that introduced random roommates prodiminately young twenties to add "sex appeal" thown under one roof to live together co-operatively (more like dysfunctionally!) then came the mark of the Celebrities all under one roof such as The Surreal Life which puts past-time flash in the pan celebrities and forces them into one house, then came more celebrities with the rising flock of family celebrities falling into the "reality celebrity family stardom" such acts as The Osbournes, to Gene Simons, The Two Coreys, The Holgans, and now the next new celebrity family to soon come our way be prepared for it.... The Hasselhoffs, but let's see if actor David Hasselhoff can make a good come back. Other shows have taken a twist on reality but keeping with reality but putting it blunt perspective, this is what I love/hate about reality shows, especially ones that involve addictions and interventions, these shows put addiction and reality on a stand and says that the structure of television and media cna be used as a source to reach people with problems right at home, even right in their own living rooms we are being counselled by the television to make a change, even ads paid by our government are becoming more representive of this idea of change, we didn't have quite the care and response as we did lets say even 5 or 10 years ago, hell even in the 1950s with no forewarning of smoking, we have sure come along way in such short time in understanding the health affects, but while that is true, there are far more worse threats to our world then there was back then. but how has the media changed us ? why the media is us, only thing about it is that we have very little say about it, our needs are someone elses ideas not our own and we want it not because we really WANT it but because we are told that if we don't consume the amount they tell us then we will just all assume go mad?! lmfao

anyways thanks for reading my rant! xD
