Among all the reasons that I hate reality-based television programming, none ranks higher than when it is done badly. I believe this is worse than when it is done irresponsibly.
Examples of reality-based programming done irresponsibly are programs like “When Animals Attack!” or “LA Police Car Chases; Caught on Film!” However, whenever you make trash like this, your imitators, who most likely will be completely devoid of any imagination whatsoever and are only in it for the money will, I guarantee you, be immeasurably worse.
Case in point, a few years ago in 1997 there was a television program broadcast in Japan where each week a young child would be brought out on stage and told that his mother had just been shot and killed for the purpose of seeing how many seconds it would take before he would start crying. Among the cleverest of this batch of shows aired in Japan that year was a show where women would crush aluminum cans by squeezing then between their oversized breasts.
Well, maybe that one wasn’t a good example. This could be used as a counterpoint to the overwhelmingly oppressive media elements that insist on portraying large breasted women as stupid and only sex objects.
At least this show had potential as a vehicle for illustrating the non-sexual positive sides of having EE bosoms. In a country where we are always looking for the bigger the louder the faster and the wilder how far can we push reality based programming?
