MSN news posted the above story which is a sad commentary on our media society…mostly because what this article says is true. Personally, one of the most entertaining parts of the article is the picture of Brett Michael’s pink-lipped pout. I have seen episodes of most of these shoes and the feeling I most often come away from them with, besides nausea, is this: What is it about the camera that turns people into sluts?
You’d think that if cameras were on you, capturing your every move you’d be more conscientous…but I forget Britney Spears and her well-documented underwear-less escapades. Oh, and our president, I suppose, has had his fair share of candid moments.
But I digress! My point is this, Frou Frou might have been justified in asking, “Where have all the good men gone?” Is reality TV really the only way to find love anymore? Are we really going to have to choose between FLAVOR FLAAAV and being a man’s Rock of Lust (with all the other adult film stars and STDs that might include)? Perhaps we may have forgotten, but we don’t live on Wisteria Lane, most of us are still firmly planted in reality.
Believe me, I understand the need for fantasy and wishing we lived a more exciting life. But I just want to point out, if this is the method of love and kind of life we are fantasizing about, we need to seriously resort our priorities.

Keep in mind that television is no kind of cross-sectional study. The thing about the camera that turns people into sluts is that the camera specifically chooses and follows around people who turn into sluts in front of it. When you’re screening applicants for a television show, you don’t pick the most normal people… you pick the ones that sell your show.
Hm. Slut was the wrong word. Fool, perhaps? Speaking from expirience, I take out a camera to take pictures of my friends and we quickly devolve into five year olds!
