SurReality TV

I have recently been forced to watch some of the new Indian reality shows coming on the boob tube, and they have re-enforced my conviction in the stupidity extinction event due to overtake mankind in the next twenty years. In fact, some of the people on those shows seem to goad me to get out my sniper rifle and try to pre-pone the event, at least for some of them. I guess I know I’m really agitated when those voices in my head stop to speak.

Leading the list of evolutionary anachronisms is of course Big Brother, my first contact with which was while watching TV in UK. For a show named after Orwell's inspired view of futuristic dystopia, this show really plumbs the depths of human inanity. The initial attraction was of course, that participants were apt to shed their clothing at any second and have a quick carefree roll in the hay with the nearest possible person/object, quite uninhibited by the presence of ‘bout a hundred cameras with 30x zooms following their every move. After a while though, the perverse nature of this show was such that I found myself eagerly anticipating what Nadia, Stuart and the rest would get up to next. I started becoming allergic to direct sunlight, and watching TV with the lights off made the irises of my eyes expand and turned me a pasty white color, much like Gollum. I finally quit when my reflection in the mirror started to fade.

Now they’ve come up with an Indian Big Brother, which has a dash of Indian masala added in. Hah, I’d rather watch a girl chew a boiled scorpion (which was what was coming on fear factor yesterday). Personally, I prefer my scorpions deep fried. Mmmmm crunchy.

For the few people who have actually scrolled to the end of this page, have you ever been able to beat my Food eating Battle Monkey? Viren Joky is a Haggis Eating Paladin Monkey (9.1), which is much better than a Tripe eating Attack Monkey, like some people I know. Scroll to the bottom of this page and try your luck.
