Reason for blogs existing...

Radmilla wrote a little peace about some crappy formula television show. I agree that these people always come across as actors trying to get exposure, because the world is familiar with TV people making something out of the probable HOURS of footage, they must shoot for these things (the ones that are not completely scripted). So know that things may, and probably will be portrayed in any manner which is not too difficult to understand, and not exactly subtle either. But definately stretching the bounds of reality as to why and how these people react the way they do. Er... apparently

Oh where was I......

Speeding past a ton of what you already know about what is happening with television shows, onto the point of all this which is that blogs are REAL reality. And anyway, what ever happened to letting a film crew follow some seemingly normal people about and then editing together an eight week show? This so called reality TV is so contrived I am at a loss as to how it got it's title. So in the current world of supposedly everyone being wired and able to get their messages out, is it any wonder that blogging has become as popular as it has?

I know there are not that many great ones, but most have some molecule of original thought (even if that original thought is the same one the last teenager had about school, or the last middle aged worker had about thoughts on office parties) but at least they are genuine in that respect. No deliberate manipulation there, and perhaps that keeps people tapping away at the keyboards all the time. It seems that blogs are places you can read about what ever you choose to, and know that 99.9% of it is real.
