I can't double-dip my potato chips.

I checked out my site statistics today. The referrals, you know? Turns out a lot of hits come from my domain, some from clix, and some from the various other places I'm listed...
And then there are the google searches. I mean, I suppose I haven't really suffered from true freaky googlism, but still. Apparently quite a few people do searches for 'Harisu Ass' and then end up visiting my diary. And well, I don't think I feel too good about that. Kinda sick and all. Of course, it's my fault. In the upper right corner of this layout I do say that this version features Harisu, and that she kicks major ass. But only because she does! I had no clue that sickos would be searching for that word combination!
The other google referral that really cracked me up was 'who hates orlando bloom'. It led them to my bio page, where at one point I mention that I like Orlando Bloom's style. And then later on I talk about how I probably shouldn't list my boyfriend's real name because he hates it. Ha ha, ha?

I dislike reality TV. I don't like it at all. Mainly because I think it's one of the most manipulative commercial enterprises in America. Well, if you can call it an enterprise. But honestly, I think this country has gone reality-tv-crazy, and it needs to stop. Sure, I watched the first few seasons of The Real World on MTV. Who didn't? It was new, and interesting. And Puck just cracked me up, talk about over the top! It was fun to watch him bite off his tongue, get kicked off, get invited back, and all that stuff. And then later they had challenges and missions, and it was even better. But I stopped watching, because it got old. Road Rules was okay for awhile, too. I mean, that was a cool show. They got to travel around the world, doing this treasure-scavenger hunt thing, and in order to get more clues and whatnot they had to perform certain tasks. That was tight.
The first time around.
And then came Survivor. Which I've never been able to sit through more than two minutes of. Ew. It's stupid, it's gross, it's not funny, it's not even interesting. And damnit, of course it had to spawn all these other cheap ass shows about 'surviving' and crap. And it's all fake, and it all pisses me off. I'd rather watch 'professional' wrestling. At least then it's funny.
I guess my biggest gripe is that reality TV isn't real. It's really, truly not. I mean, okay, check out this great new idea for a REALITY series: Stick 25 beautiful sluts in a house with a male whore. After awhile, he chooses which chick he wants to bone for the rest of his life. Oh yeah, woo-boy. Sounds like a winner. And of course, according to ratings, it was. The stupid Bachelor series was watched by females all over the country. They wanted to watch a true, romantic love story. Never mind the raunchy pretenses. It was true love, damnitall!
And of course, the 'after the show - behind the scenes' specials have been bringing in the money as well. Listen to the story of what really went down! Who 'went down' on who! Watch this stupid special where the bachelor tells his side of the story! Find out if he really screwed all 25 girls, and which ones watched while he did it!
And of course, there are the absolutely horrendous FOX versions. When I saw the first commercial for Temptation Island, I nearly puked. How fucking SICK is THAT? I mean, honestly. Hey, another great idea to make other countries want to bomb our stupid asses even more! If they're gonna hate us, we should make them look down on us as well! So let's take some couples who are supposedly in love, stick them on an island with a lot of sluts, and see if they give in to temptation! Hey, that's a great name, Temptation Island! And then we can make a sequel! Ha!
It just pisses me off. And you know what really pissed me off? There was one show, I forget which one it was, but Joel was watching it. He likes reality TV. He watches shows like Fear Factor and stuff. And I suppose Fear Factor isn't actually so bad, but again, it's all manipulation. Let's see what idiots will do for money! And let's put it on network television, so we'll get paid while jackasses watch our stupid time-wasting brain-killers instead of the Discovery Channel, where the REAL reality tv is.
But anyway. Joel was watching it, and it made me sick. And he actually wanted to watch it while I was there. I got to see three sluts try to tempt some poor schmuck into cheating on his wife or something. Joel says he watches these shows because he finds them funny, and I believe him. For him, it's all just satire. He knows they're fucking screwed up, and he laughs at it. Me, I'll mock it and laugh at it, but no way in hell am I supporting it by giving it better ratings. Plus, I absolutely hate the fact that only 'beautiful' people are put on those shows. Hello, if it was truly reality, there would be obese women and men with beer guts. Statistics don't lie. Obviously 'reality' tv does.
That's another point: it's pretty obvious where the ratings come from. Besides lonely depressed women who want to see 'true love' there's got to be a high percentage of disgusting perverts who watch those shows for fanservice. I'm talking Kentucky Fried Chicken here: breasts, thighs, and drumsticks. Sick people wanking off to reality tv semi-porn, buttering up their biscuits. And that what most of it is: porn. Except with clothes and less plot...

Yeah, okay, okay. I'm done ranting now, really. It's 2:16AM and I'm still sick, which is probably contributing even more to my crankiness, which of course led to this rant. And to think, all I really wanted to do in the first place was post a link to HERE and proclaim for all the world to hear that I AM RIGHT. And that most people just want to watch other people look stupid, get made fun of, or get hurt.
With that said, have a nice day.
