Awww. How warm and fuzzy

Awww. How warm and fuzzy you are!

Is it cruel to encourage people to post and then berate them?

In the recent past, as part of my New Year's Day in fact, I sat in front of the television for a Real World marathon. I was doing other things, of course, but I did catch most of everything that happened. On any other day, I hate this show. It bugs me so much that these knuckleheads get to be on television for nothing. They have no talent except the ability to express their feelings, which is probably something on which I could use a little tutoring.

After a few episodes, I began to realize that there is a formula here (big surprise).
1. People getting along.
2. Person A does something to offend Person B.
3. Person B discusses it with us for a little while.
4. Person B discusses it with other members of the house.
5. Persons A and B discuss how they can solve their problem.
6. Persons A and B make up.
7. Person A discusses the issue and its resolution with us.

The final resolution discussion goes something like this: "I know that I'm usually this way, but I've never had such a supportive group of people around me. I'm really glad this happened because I've really grown and really learned a lot about myself and how I act in those kinds of situations."

And why am I watching this again? I don't give a damn if you've grown. You're an idiot and you will never be otherwise. You will be famous because that is the way things work here, but you do not deserve it. Go on and grow off-camera.
