Only if you add all the reality TV shows to the don't watch list *shudder*

Is it on tonight?

I'm with sam. All reality shows make me want to run screaming for the hills.

You gotta admit Simon is pretty awesome.

I know someone involved in the show so I semi-watch. It's mindless entertainment but ok.

I only like the first parts where they tell bad singers how bad they are. The actual winners are total losers, just tools for the music industry.

Does that mean you keep one eye closed ?
Or walk in and out of the room the TV is in while it's on ?
:confused:

I had it on the corner of my monitor--very small and low volume.

I'm watching people explode puppets with hi-tech war technology on discovery channel... that show with the bald guy... what's it called? I like this show a lot

Future Weapons, I believe.

Didn't you learn anything from last time you tried to form a "club" on sciforums?

I don't watch TV.
Suck on that, elitist prigs!

I HATE Big Brother, Australian and American Idol, Dancing with the stars, Deal or No deal and i'm only 15.

Count me in - I've never wasted a single minute on it. Never will.

I would have joined, but you've got people just wandering around your clubhouse. It's a security risk, but what worries me is the illiteracy factor. I mean, the sign is pretty big. Oh well. Good luck though. I'm going to find a club with a bigger sign or something.

Firstly, I find the game either rigged or becoming ridiculously easy then extremely hard. but for now, its still relatively enjoyable....for now.

Post removed. Sorry.

^^^ Hmmm, looks like you have some insurgents in your club.

I just realized the name of this thread and will remove previous post. Duh...
Plus it's insanely early here and I am not coherent yet.:o

Sandy likes to tell people what they are missing.

You don't get bonus Jesus points if you don't try to convert people now do you?

Each convert is probably worth a timeshare and half price meals at pizza hut for a year in heaven.

I've never really liked your manboob man avatar 'til now. Listening to a tune with funky bass and he's bobbing up and down in time to the beat. Ah, cheap thrills (£1.15 to be exact).

I'm sure you're a respectable family man with no desire for such filth (although strangely you do have the internet), but what's the porn like on Finnish TV? Do they have softcore channels that come on at night like other euro countries?

Fond memories of my German exchange trip. I was sitting with my exchange bud and his little sister (who was quite ripe) watching some softcore, hammered on white and cola beer. The Germans are great in some ways. We were walking through his village and there was a bunch of older kids having a little party outside a house. Being a cocky little shit, I gatecrash it, and it was like it would have been wrong for me not to turn up, given the reception I got. Even if they were calling me a cunt in German, I got free beer.

Anyway. I think I'll stop posting just now.

everything else is bullshit more or less,

Then how do you guys know what to BUY??? :eek:

My wife spends all my money. I don't have to worry about that.

I didn’t watch American Idol on many an occasion. Do I qualify for the club?

I hate people who are proud of not watching trashy tv/listening to top 40 music/etc.
It's not hard to do, so lame people do it(or don't do it, in this instance) as an easy way to look cool.
It takes confidence in your own coolness to watch crap and listen to shit that lame idiots watch and listen to.
I have much more respect for reality tv junkies, in my experience both the dumbest and smartest people love it. The bottom 70 % and the top 2.5 % of human beings.
The top 2.5 % know it's lame, but also know it is fun and they aren't worried about appearing not cool or stupid because they are so obviously cool and brilliant that nothing can bring them down.

Me and invert had this discussion about homo-erotic behaviour. It's the gayest straight people, the ones who you suspect might be gay but probably aren't, who are most opposed to pretending to be gay.
It's because they spend all their time struggling to appear not gay, and it takes considerable effort for them, it would just be 1 step forward 2 steps back for them to nudely attack another man and sit on his face.
Super hets like myself have already taken 8000 million steps forward in the het direction, so we can afford to clown around and take the odd few steps back.
I could practically fuck a dude and not be gay. Invert couldn't smile at a male without dropping dangerously close to the pink zone.

The same is true for people struggling to be cool, they can't afford to watch reality tv because they don't have the innate cool points to counter it, and they have to listen to obscure bands that sound like shit because without that, if they enjoyed pop on the radio, there'd be no reason for anyone to think they are cool.
They have to cling on to their ability to not watch tv and endure painfully dull music, at least these are things they can do, unlike being genuinely cool.

Another example is semi-hot chicks bleaching their hair blonde, getting breast implants, starving themselves and wearing high heels everywhere.
Really beautifull women don't do that. They never feel inclined to inconvenience themselves like that. There's nothing lacking to inspire change.

It's all about insecurity. The masses are too dumb to be insecure, so they tend to animalistically respond to the what appeals to the human senses most expertly. Insecure people inconvenience themselves to distance themselves from the moronic majority, they don't want to do what pleases and satisfies the unthinking masses, and as a result they engage in unsatisfying and displeasing past times.
There are thousands of horrible bands which exist only to satisfy this niche of mediocre people needing an obscure unpopular band to cling onto and claim as a badge of coolness. No one could possibly like the music, but people could use the image that comes with pretending to like the music.

I'm so cool I eat shit, and I don't even care like it was nothing.

You go bro!

I don't watch reality TV because its stultifyingly BORING. Yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn.

I cannot imagine how people sit through that crap.

Not all reality TV sucks. I hate American Idol--nearly everything about it, from the judges, to the theme music, to the songs the contestants sing, to the judges.

But Fear Factor is an awesome show. Female Fear Factor might be my favorite show of all time. Or Fear Factor models. Nothing is hotter than watching hot women do disgusting things while pissing and moaning about it. Eating worms and crying. Some of the things they have contestants do on that show is amazing. Best show ever.

I like Myth Busters.

I've never watched American Idol. All of those types of shows make me cringe. I guess many people enjoy watching people get criticized; I just feel badly for them.

I was flipping channels last year, and I just happened to catch this on America's Got Talent http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EbQ7xcd7jQ . She stopped me dead in my tracks. I changed the channel as soon as her act was done, but that clip alone justified that show's existence for me. Lovely, and extraordinarily talented.

Yeah I don't love idol specifically but I hate people who are proud of not liking it like that decreases how much they suck somehow.
And they avoid all reality shows to avoid being the stereotypical idol fan.

Fair enough it is possible to genuinely not like idol (I still question people who pretend to not like the first few eps of each season), but not, you know, Average Joe, haha come on.

For those who didn't have the strength of character to watch average joe- they have a hot chick who thought she was going to be on a bachelorette type shoe with lots of hot guys competing to get her but she shows up and it's all disgusting fat ugly nerdy men.
Then she has to go on dates with them, and fatties turn on the nerds and the smellies turn on the deformed. Then hot athletic guys show up after 6 weeks or so and they compete against the losers in sports and kick their asses while the girl watches, at the house where all the guys stay the nerds are bullied by the cool guys, humiliated, immasculated, they have their clothes ripped off and the cool dudes hold them down and spread open their legs and laugh at their balls and then carry them down to the chicks little house and show her and she laughs in the loser guys face (remember by now he litterally loves her), and then the chick eventually chooses a hot guy and it's just all been a big kick in the teeth to lame men everywhere.
That has been the whole point of the show by the end... hehe... hahahaha...
It is about fucking time entertainment can be brutally honest.

It's the new breed of cutting edge comedy at it's essence. Sitcoms and sketch shows just don't cut it anymore.
People think they are too smart for it but they're blatantly just not smart enough, they aren't getting it at all.

You are correct that fear factor rules also.
For similar reasons, I wouldn't rate it quite on the same level though.
Other greats include, My big fat obnoxious boss and Joe schmo.
