Wed. Reading

Alhtough I believe most of what the author was saying I do bbelieve that some things were blown out of proportion. Yes, I believe that reality T.V is made up and that people are chosen not solely on their personalities but on their looks as well. I believe that the only reason reality T.V is so huge in today's society is because people like to watch something on T.v that they can relate to. I also believe that the author exageratted some of his statements. For example, he compared the voting system of Survivor to the democratic voting system of America. It does have a few similarities but is a whole different kind of vote. The winner of survivor will not run our country, nor does he have any say in anything about our country. It is ridiuclous to compare the two because they are on totally different levels. Also reading the student essay I agreed with most things but what I didnt agree with is her opinion about Rosie's "catholic" values. I am cahtolic and as far as I am concerned it doesn't matter how giving you are it is still against the Catholic religion to date the same sex.

Too bad this essay was pre-American Idol. It's really funny that more people voted in the AI polls than voted in either of the last political elections. And yet, the AI winners don't have much success in terms of album sales . . . hmmmmm
