Facebook Joke Statuses

Some really hilarious statuses.

"What did the baby corn say to the mom corn? -- where's pop corn??"

"dreams of a better world…where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned"

"my neighbor asked to borrow my snow blower, I said sure but it cant leave my driveway"

"says I was taught to finish my food because kids in africa were starving. Now I finish my coffee because people in india are sleeping"

"knows kids in front of cars cause accidents & accidents in the back of cars cause kids"

“would have gotten away with it too if it hadn’t been for those pesky kids”

“ is CELEBRATING CAPS LOCK AWARENESS DAY”

“is sleeping with your girlfriend”

“is taking naked pictures and photoshopping your head on them”



Here are some really great Facebook Statuses :)

Facebook Hackers

Facebook is beginning to crack down on the security of the site to due to increase of hackers. Facebook has expanded its security team by about ten percent recently because the site is having problems with lots of unsupported spam.

The team has made it relatively easy to identify where the attacks are coming from even if they aren't able to identify the exact person who is initiating the attacks.Facebook has integrated its security incident response team with its law enforcement team to help protect the safety of all users.

On the technical side, Facebook has automated systems that detect when someone is using the site in a way that is different from the normal user. When a user logs in from an unknown location Facebook automatically checks, by asking a question, to see if it is actually the user. These measures have helped slightly to prevent unknown log ins.

Cyberstalkers

Everyone has that person that they really don't know that well, or at all, and they still insist on commenting on every single post, status, or comment you make. At first it may seem funny or cute, but there has to be some point where it become just annoying. If you wanted only them to comment on it you would have posted it in THEIR wall. Not your own or another mutual friend's wall.

This may seem harmless, but it you honestly don't know the person, you would probably want to consider blocking them , for your safety. If they can see all your information and seem to be completely infatuated with you, that could quickly to into a situation of ACTUAL stalking. Putting personal information online is a horrible idea and it would be very easy for your online stalker to find your school or even address and just go for a drive one day to come and meet you. It is a very scary reality if you think about.

If you do know the person that is constantly comment on all of your postings, you should confront them and tell them that they are completely annoying you. Or if you are a less aggressive person you could just delete it them and let them figure out why you did it. It shouldn't be hard for them to figure out if they are commenting on everything you post!




This video is a skit about Facebook and stalkers! It is one of the funniest videos i have seen in a long time.

Social Networking Break Ups

Break ups are hard enough as it is. Being broke up with via social networking websites is even harder. You have to then change your relationship status and have 5,000 people comment about how sad it is. Obviously you know that, you are the one who was broken up with.

Once you are broken up with instead of discarding all of the pictures that you and your partner were in together, you have to sit one the internet untagging yourself from 3,000 pictures. And then delete every picture that has even a trace of them off of your page.

Instead of just avoiding your ex- you then get all of his or her statuses to your phone because you still haven't changed the settings. You then get to know how they are having such a fantastic time and makes you want to eat even more ice cream.

It's bad enough after a break up having to see your ex occasionally, but seeing pictures of him or her makes it incredibly hard. Then you see a new partner with your ex and you then spend 7 hours Facebook stalking them, googling them, and checking youtube for any embarrassing facts that will make you feel better about yourself.It is a fact that 60% of people Facebook stalk their exes.

After the break up, seeing that your ex hasn't posted anything makes you very worried. What could they possibly be doing that he or she doesn't even have time to update their status. Which will eventually lead to more ice cream and man-hating movies.




This video is a simulation of situations that are associated with relationship problems caused by Facebook.

Things to Hate about Facebook

There are always things about Facebook that drive people crazy. I'm going to make a list of the 10 most annoying things about Facebook because after all, there are some very agitating things.

5. Simply liking a status, then receiving 95,000 notifications about comments about the status. I didn't care enough to comment on it so why would I want to know what other people are saying about it?

4.Having people I met one time when I was 5 add me as friends and then comment or like every single status I post.

3.When someone invites me to an event that I have no way of going to. After I moved out here, I now live about 7 hours from home. There is no way I'm going home just to watch someone's band play for 30 minutes.

2. Leaving my Facebook up and someone changing my status to something that is absolutely ridiculous! Seriously, if I left it up around you, I obviously trusted you, way to go...

1. FARMVILLE. Enough said.



This video is hilarious! It was put on youtube by Julian Smith. It is his list of 25 things that drives him crazy. So true!




This a video response of Julian Smith's video. It is a list of 5 things but pretty true!

Internet Addiction Disorder

Addiction to the internet is becoming a rapidly increasing disorder that is claim the social lives of many. It [Internet Addiction Disorder] is a psycho-physiological disorder involving tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, affective disturbances, and interruption of social relationships.



The video above is pretty funny and accurately depicts the symptoms of Internet Addiction Disorder.

Many people allow the internet to take over their lives so badly they can't even function to take care of their basic needs. They let trash pile up near their computer and they get very attached to their computer to the point that they will lash out at the first person that tries to get them to do anything besides play on the computer.

There is a great deal of anxiety associated with IAD. People make themselves sick because they are so anxious to get an email or instant message. This disorder is a severe condition that is sweeping all of the world.

When therapists treat individuals with this condition, they treat them like they would any other addict. They need to find what triggers the start of the computer-usage binge so that they can stop that from happening.

The therapist encourage the patients to just NOT use the internet for awhile until they have their problem completely out in the open. The best way to avoid these problems is to only use the internet if it is an absolute need to use the internet.

A Little Clip

I was just looking around on youtube and i found this really interesting video which clearly depicts the relevance of social networking sites to modern society.

Share Selectively

It has become apparent that people in present-day society love to share every intimate detail of their lives on their Facebook, Myspace,or Twitter profiles. After all, this is what we have been trained to do from childhood-share. But there is a certain point when one needs to just keep information to themselves. Many individuals are having trouble finding the line that makes the distinction between internet safe and just flat out stupid to post online.

When one creates their page, they are given options about who they would like to allow access to their page and the user has the option at any time to block a fellow user who they feel are acting inappropriately towards them. Many users are not aware of this function or just chose to ignore that it is there.

Another problem that can quickly arise, is individuals confirm others as "friends" without really knowing who they are. This is extremely dangerous, but it happens on a daily basis. If the individual would only confirm friends they actually knew, it could greatly reduce their chance of having problems with cyberstalking, hacking, and cyberbullying.

It is always a good idea to keep your personal information off the internet. Anyone can get their hands on it if they really have a desire to do so.

Draw to Social Networking Websites

The initial draw, for most, to the social media sites is the accessibility to friends and family that one is not normally able to communicate with. an easy way to see a how friends/family are doing through pictures, relationship status, etc.

Another significant draw to the sites would be the ease of meeting new people for dating purposes. Some people see the dating sites, such as e-harmony.com, are degrading or embarrassing. Using a site like Facebook, which many married and single adults use, to meet others who have similar feelings about the sites.

Social networking sites are a way for teenagers to escape the stress of school and parents and have sometime to chat with multiple friends simultaneously. Facebook has became a way for teens to know everything about their friends. While it can be a little invasive at times, the websites are often helpful to relieve stress.

Some of the jobs in today's society require to have a large client el base. A good way to get your name out there is by having a profile strictly for work which possible costumers could see your credentials as well as some about the user as a person. The social media sites are much easier for prospective client el to get to know the producer rather than having to call around.

Myspace vs Facebook

Myspace and Facebook were at one time, both very popular and were in close competition for the number one spot of supreme social networking websites. Currently, Facebook has roughly double the amount of users that Myspace does which is incredible, considering Myspace had more just around a year ago. Myspace seems to be becoming obsolete in today's society. So what is making Facebook so much more desirable?

Currently, 1 of every 5 people who use the internet use Facebook on a regular basis. One of those reasons, is people see Facebook as being a safer alternative to Myspace because it has "better" security settings. Since the Megan Meier Controversy, which occur through the use of Myspace, many individuals are thinking twice about how safe Myspace is for themselves and their children.

Another deal breaking factor that plays into the choice of which site you want your profile on is the demographics. Myspace was created for younger teenagers, another reason why it is dangerous (perfect place for predators to meet trusting teens), while Facebook was constructed with college age students in mind. Now it is becoming more equaled out with teens but professional seem to favor Facebook much more than Myspace because they still see it as a place for teens.

Facebook featured thousands of applications. These applications range from your fortune to games. One could take that however they want. Some of these applications are ridiculously addicting, where on Myspace one wouldn't have that problem because they don't feature similar applications.

One aspect that Myspace does have Facebook beat in, is the layouts. Facebook doesn't offer the option to change your layout, despite what those annoying group invitations say. There are ways to customize your profile by placing results of quizzes and other applications on one's profile.

SPAM! Facebook users have much less trouble with spam issues than the users of Myspace. No one wants to deal with constant spam; it is annoying. It seems much more easy to have your profile on Myspace hacked as well, compared to Facebook. Who would want to have ALL of their personal information somewhere that it could be easily hacked.

All things considered, I see Facebook as a much more useful site and that makes sense due to its huge amount of users!



I don't know if it works, but it must be fairly easy if someone can do it 3 minutes 40 seconds!

Being Immersed in Social Networking Environment: Facebook Groups, Uses and Gratifications, and Social Outcomes

While I was perusing the internet the other day, I found an article, "Being Immersed in Social Networking Environment: Facebook Groups, Uses and Gratifications, and Social Outcomes" by Namsu Park, Kerk Kee, and Sebastian Valenzuela in a magazine called Cyberpsychology and Behavior. This magazine is extremely pertinent to the topics around the ethics of using social networking websites.


The article that I found from this magazine was based off a study that was conducted to determine Facebook users’ gratifications, and the relationship between users’ gratification and their political and civic participation offline.

The study revealed that there are 4 primary categories in which users groups fall into. The four groups are socializing, entertainment, self-status seeking, and information.

The study was conducted on college-aged students, so for the more "recreational" categories (socializing, entertainment, self-status seeking) were used much more in comparison to the informational usage.

When it came to the informational usage, the groups were formed mostly for political reason, like research for upcoming elections. Most college students are not very interested in political issues so that makes sense as to why it is the least used type of group on Facebook.

Adolescent Peer Relationships and Behavior Problems Predict Young Adults: Communication in Social Networking Websites

When looking for articles about social networking, I came across an article, "Adolescent Peer Relationships and Behavior Problems Predict Young Adults: Communication in Social Networking Websites", by Joseph Allen from a magazine called Developmental Psychology.

This article focuses on the argument about individuals, especially adolescents, becoming less able to communicate well due to the boom in social networking websites. Many youths with socially awkward tendencies are drawn to the appeal of social networking websites because they are able to hide their short-comings behind a computer screen.

When children begin to use the sites as a main way of communication in their early lives, they lose the ability tohave good face-to-face communication skills as an adult.

After the youths et to about college age, the social networking becomes an asset because they have already developed their communication skills for the most part. The teen years are critical to learning god communication with others so when children think they are blending in with their friends, they are really hindering themselves from being well-rounded adults in teh long-run.

Regulating Harassment: Is the Law Fit for the Social Networking Age?

When browsing the internet recently, I found a very interesting article, "Regulating Harassment: Is the Law Fit for the Social Networking Age?", by Neal Geach and Nicola Horalambous which I found in the Journal of Criminal Law through EBSCOhost.

This article focuses on the law aspect of social networkig sites. There have been instances where people have been made victims on these websites. Due to the massive increase of individuals who use social networking websites, there have been an increase in the amount of crime realated to the use of the social networking websites.

There is not a lot of legislation that protects people from the horrible consquences, such as cyberstalking and cyberbullying. Individuals cannot be completely safe when using these websites if there are no set consequences for when they are made victims.

Most experts say it would be much easier to find technologic solutions rather than have legislation to uphold the laws because it is harder to trace and hold them accountable throuh the law.

The Dark Side of Social Networking

I recently found an article on ednews.org, "The Dark Side of Social Networking."

This article was highly appealing because it used a very important man to support the authors ideas. David Gewirtz is the Cyber terrorism Advisor to the International Association of Counter Terrorism and Security Professionals. David Gewirtz supports ideas like the internet can be a very scary place when it is not used for the right reasons.

Most of the users of social networking websites are undisciplined individuals who automatically attract dangerous criminals. Most of the users are not completely aware of the dangerous situations that they are putting themselves in when they simply log in to their profiles.

Social Networking Websites are hotspots for criminals because over 2/3 of the total internet population signs on to at least 1 social networking websites each month. By using the websites one is making themselves easily accessible to internet hackers as well as internet predators.

When using these sites, one must be smart about what they do and what can be seen.

The Negative Effects of Facebook

The other day, I was browsing the internet and I found an article, "The Negative Effects of Facebook," by Christina Pomoni on articlebase.com.


This article shows horrible consequences that can ensue once a user begins to use a social networking site, such as Facebook. This article is set up like a normal day for an average individual and how they might use Facebook. I found this set up to be engaging as well as extremely accurate.

The article vividly illustrates how one would get on Facebook and see all of their notifications and spend hours mindlessly looking at pages when they have many things that are much more significant to do. This article tells how easily people can have their identity stolen and be cyberbullied due to people's excitement when they have a friend request, they often don't even know the person.

Facebook can also put a great strain on marriages and relationships when individuals talk to others beside their partners. The article also portrays a situation where a parent is pestering their child to get off of the site, but the child cannot take them seriously because the parent spends just as much time on the website.

I really loved this article. It was humorous and really made me think. I would highly recommend it!

Negative Sides of Social Networking.

I was browsing a search engine the other day, when I came across an article, "Negative Sides of Social Networking," by Manal Sharief on Helium.com.


This article focuses on the harsh, but realistic consequences that can ensue with the use of social networking websites. Users often become socially inactive because they are so absorbed in their profile page. It is also very easy for user to let friendships with individuals who do not use the networking sites fall to the way-side.

The most serious consequence is the susceptibility to be a victim. There are several types of victims that result from social networking websites. Individuals can have their identity stolen, they leave themselves more likely to have their computer hacked, there is an ever increasing problem with cyberbullying, and sexual harassment when they lackadaisically use the sites.

The overall message of the article is that it is better to be safe than sorry. It is easier to just not create a profile then have to worry about all the heinous outcomes that can occur.

Risk Taking and Trust

When exploring the internet to learn more about the nature of social networking, I came across an article. The article, "Internet Social Networking Communities: Risk Taking, Trust, and Privacy Concerns" was published in News Fronts Washington bu an unknown author.

This article is based mainly upon a study that was conducted upon a group of college students. The students seem to be relatively concerned about who knows their personal information bu they don't hesitate for a minute to put these same things they worry about on social networking websites where anyone can see them.

The study concluded that individuals feel more secure with Facebook than any other social networking website. The study also showed that men feel much more secure with having their information online than women. Women seemed to feel much more vulnerable with having their information online most likely because there are more male online predators than online women predators.

Facebook!

The other day I saw found this article, "Facebook: Friend or Foe?" The article was published in The Times Educational Supplement and was written by Mark Piesing. In this article, the author uses examples and possible situation to describe issues that could arise with teachers using Facebook both privately and professionally.

There have been teachers who have put themselves in vulnerable positions by accepting their students as friends. If students become friends with their teachers on Facebook, then the student then has full access to the teachers profile which accompanies personal information as well as personal photos/messages.

There have also been situations where students have been upset with their teachers and have made fake profiles and inappropriate interactions with others through Facebook.

There have been cases where Facebook has been a very helpful educational tool. Teachers can talk to many of their students at one time through Facebook chat. The students can easily communicate with there teacher and ask question that they might not have had time to in class. Many students also become more comfortable with their teachers once they see they have a real life outside of school. It makes the students feel like they can more easily relate to their teachers since they seem more like real people.

Social Networking in the House

Recently, I was checking around the internet to find some articles about social networking websites. I came across a article "House Hold Hearings on Social Networking Websites." The article was written by Joshua Fogel and Elham Nehmad. The article describes about many of the problems that the House of Representatives sees with letting the youth of the country access the websites, especially from public places.

Many representatives see the social networking sites as a gateway for predators to meet a plethora of young, vulnerable victims. Most young teens do not have a realistic grip on what a large chance there is for them to encounter a predator. The representatives see no need for children to be exposed to a danger that is completely aviodable.

Some Pros and Cons

There are mixed feelings about social networking amongst people in the United States. The mixed feelings developed because of the way the individuals see the world around them.



Some of the pros that are arising are the ease in speaking to friends without even having to pick up the phone. The neetworking sites also make it very easy for individuals to meet people with similar interests. Using online sites is a great way to meet people with out having to actual meet the person. Using the sites allows individuals to connect with multiple people at the same thing which is more diffiult to due via cell phone.

Even though there are pros, there seems to be many more cons. If someone makes a mistake of adding a "friend" that they really don't know, there are many possible outcomes. It is easy for that "friend" to personal information. The "friend" could use the information to commit identity theft or to stalk to the person. If someone has their boss or co-workers as friends, it is possible that they are putting their job in jeopardy. Those are just a few of the possible cons.

Transition...

Recently, I have become interested on the impact that social networking is having on society.



I came across an article, Social Networking: Communication Revolution or Evolution? by Cheryl L. Coyle and Heather Vaughn. The authors claim that the massive boom in social networking sites have not had a large impact upon the "normal" relationships in day-to-day life. Most college students are using the sites strictly to keep in touch with friends. It is rare for the students to try and meet new people via internet. The students use the sites becuase it is a quick and easy way to keep in touch with friends because it is harder to maintain relationships with friends than with family members who they can just call when they have time.

An interesting article

I was looking through articles today and I found this really interesting piece.

http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1154194,00.html

Reality or Ancient History

I was recently reading in which a comparison between today's reality television and the blood sports of the ancient times was made. The main draw to reality television is public humiliation which is the same exact reason why there were such large crowds for the bloodsports. It seems as time passes the maturity of our society doesn't evolve too much.

Another important point made by the psychologist who wrote the article, is that when people are exposed to voilent and wreckless, they become immune to its severity. It causes viewers to experience more violent and angry emotions when they see violent behaviors.

Monumental Fight

The picture to right (top) is of Brooke Thompson known to most avid reality television viwers as Pumkin. Thompson had a problem with the woman below for most of the time they were together fight for the love of Flava Flav.



The woman to the rightis Tiffany Pollard, but better known as New York. She was a contestant on the first season on Flavor of Love (and later became a contestant on Flavor of Love 2).

When Pumkin was eliminated things finally went down (we had all been waiting for it) and it was a complete train wreck to watch. So enjoy :)

Misinterpretations

Many people watch reality television and have a character that they favor. Most favor the character because they are "real" or "down to earth." Many of the reality television stars are portrayed to be crazy people who are inches away from ruining their lives along with the lives of everyone around them.



That is not always true. There are some stars that are portrayed to have a drinking problem because Americans love watching people who have more problems than they do. The person may drink in perfect moderation and never cause any drama because of their drinking, but the producers and editors can twist it so that the character is shown having a drink in their hand constantly.

The fine people of America love themselves a good scandal every now and again. It is horrible to think that people to tune in for the sole purpose of watching someone else's life crumble. It is hard for the viewers to not want to watch thought when the show is being promoted on the basis that something catastrophic is going to occur.

The way that reality television works is almost heart-breaking, but it is hard to feel sorry for these people when they know how easy it is for them to get hurt on show of that sort.

Two Sides of the Coin

href="">
Many people do no support reality television because the main basis of most reality shows is people suffering through conflict. The conflicts usually arise when the participants are in complete disarray. The shows are full of sex, obsenities, drinking, and sometimes even violence. This basically shows society that it is perfectly acceptable to participate in these outrageous behaviors.



On the other hand, there are reality shows which promote people bettering themselves. Of course they go through hardships, which may invovlve some less than model behaviors, but our society is in no way perfect. It is inspiring to watch someone overcome adversity to better themselves in an extreme way.

Johnny Fairplay

This is one of my favorite moments ever in survivor history. It was so horrible to say that his grandma had died but it was one of the most clever things I had ever seen as the same time.

It is hard to believe that any average joe that resembled Flava Flav would be able to get the kind of women that are were on his show Flavor of Love 1,2,and 3. The women on his show were beautiful and decades younger than him. Other than being famous for being a member of the group Public Enemy he has nothing very attractive about him.



For example, if I was approached by a very unattractive man who was years older than me, I would never think of him as a dating option. Since Flavor Flav has fame and fortunate these women lost their minds over him. It is completely ridiculous because if he didn't have the status he does, do you honestly think they would want him? He has had three seasons of his show and and has not stayed with anyone of the winners. All his show is doing is getting him more publicity... but no love.

A Sticky Situation

Megan Hauserman (the image above) has been on reality shows such as Beauty and the Geek, Rock of Love 2, I Love Money, Charm School: Rock of Love Girls, and I Love Money 3. After her appearance on all these shows she was known for her tiny dog and her even tinier bikinis. Megan had an obsession over men with money, so it was not a surprise to anyone when Megan aquried her own show called Megan Wants a Millionaire. The show was awkward and creepy, to a point. The men basically worshiped her and spoiled her with extravagent gifts after just knowing her a few days. As horrible as it was I could not stop watching this trainwreck unfold before my eyes.

When I came up here to school I had noticed that I hadn't seen any previews or new episodes appear. I looked it up on the VH1 website where I saw that most of the information about the show had been taken down. I started to do some investigating and soon came across information showing that one of the contestants, Ryan Jenkins, had been charged with assult on his WIFE recently before coming to the show. Soon after the charges were filed his wife was found strangles in a dumpster just outside of LA. Jenkins fled from the US and then later killed himself. All of this happened while the show was airing so the VH1 producers pulled it to protect their reputation.

New Reality Television

There is new breed of reality television that is becoming a huge trend. This type of reality show films people in their everyday life and how they interact. They aren't put in an unfamiliar location or dropped off with strangers. It is simply a camera man follow around one person (or a group of people).

Above is a picture of the Real Housewives of Orange County. The women have a hit show on BRAVO. All the women have to do is go about their daily lives and be filmed. It is interesting to see how these women interact on a daily basis. Of course, like every other reality television show, there is editing done to portray the women in the light that the producers find most advantageous to the ratings.

Business Is Booming!

While I was reading an article in the New York Times, I was able to see that the rapid increase in reality television is due (for the most part) to the hit that the American economy has recently taken. The television stations have a more limited to budget and reality television shows last a full season and require absolute no talent at all. For a station to have any show besides reality television they would need to invest in actors, multiple sets, make-up consultants, etc. When a reality show is produced, there is no need for those expenses. It saves the companies enormous amounts of money and is just as entertaining, if not more, than scripted shows.

Last weekend I was watching one of my favorite reality television shows, Frank the Entertainer: A basement Affair, and I was completely shocked when the girl I was rooting for was kicked off for having "risque" photos on the internet. Jenny was smart and had a lot more dignity (or so I thought) than the average skank on thosed reality dating shows. I honestly don't think anyone say that coming, well except for the people who had already seen the pictures.

In the article I read on http://www.buddytv.com/articles/frank-the-entertainer-in-a-basement-affair/jenny-from-frank-the-entertain-33974.aspx
Jenny claims that she was not at all. She completely covered up, VH1 was just exaggerating by blurring it out. She had it as her profile picture for twitter, so how bad could it really have been? Long story short, the producers of reality television shows don't care at all who they are hurting. Jenny now has a reputation for being another girl with naked pictures up on the internet when in fact she did nothing wrong. She was humilitated on national television when she had nothing to be ashamed of. Now everyone sees her in a completely negative light for no reason. It is a risk you are taking when going on to a reality television show.

In The News...

Recently, there was an incident on the MTV show Jersey Shore in which one of the female cast members was punched in the face by an anebriated male. The 24-year old male, Brad Ferro, was angered when "Snooki" told him to stop stealing the cast of Jersey Shore's drinks. Ferro was charged with assult and disorderly conduct with good reason. He came to the club completely drunk but didn't heed the bouncers warnings to stop drinking.



Ferro was not the only one to get in trouble for the whole ordeal. MTV has publicly criticized for allowing violence against women to be shown on television. MTV has even lost some sponsors due to the fiasco.

Quote of the Day

This week i was looking for a quote to go along with realtiy television and I found this quote from Paul Merton who is poking fun at reality television. I thought it was pretty great!

"They're doing a new show: Celebrity Corpse, where you dig up someone after five years and try to guess who they were."

Why Reality Television?

For the past 5 years, every Sunday morning my mom and I would get up and watch all the reality television we had missed that previous week due to her working and me having practices and games daily. We would spend hours watching people make fools of themselves. It was a fantastic way to end the week and spend some time with my mom. Now I am living 8 hours from home so I only get to go back about once a month. My mom and I still watch our favorite shows and facebook about what happened. It is not exactly the same as it use to be, but it is still a way for me and my mom to bond even though I am so far away from home.

What I Do When I Am Having A Bad Day

I wanted to do my blog on reality television because I personally see it as one of the most enthralling sites i have ever seen. It's not hard to lose track of time just watching the idiocracy of others. I find that watching reality television is exceptionallly wonderful when I am having a bad because it lets me see that there is someone out there who has way more problems than I will ever have.

I found this clip. It really brightens my day:) :

The Basics

Throughout the past decade, there has been a rapid increase in the popularity of reality television. There are so many types of reality television shows on the air today that anybody could find at least one to peak their interest. The interest in reality television is fueled by the public's desire to escape into another world for the show's time slot. There is no easier way to help forget one's problems then by seeing someone else who is nothing more than a total wreck. Reality television is definatly on the rise and is here to stay.
