Watched the season finale of the bachelorette. I know, bad. But, its like my recent spat of football watching. Its not too good to get far away from what the majority of people do with their time. Its like trying to stay grounded. At least that's what I tell myself. Besides, it helps in conversation. I need something other than politics to talk about with people. With some 50% of people not aware that there were No Iraqis on the 9/11 planes I suppose a more nuanced conversation about foriegn policy kinda flies outta the window. Back to the Bucs and the Superbowl commercials.... Anyways, what I noticed is that everybody on the bachelorette was SO very mainstream! It didnt see like there was a whole lot of variety in the men that she had to choose from. I could not see myself on that show with my beliefs and opinions. I would stick out pretty bad. Anybody with any general ideas about ANYTHING would stick out. Of course, you may be saying, how obvious. After all they are on TV. The nesting place for the dominant commercial culture. Its not by accident that they spend alot of time visiting commercial businesses and being paraded about a plethora of merchandise. There was even an episode where they bring in a new extremely expensive sports car for Charlie to drive around. He seemed more interested in the car that he did Trista. In a way I have respect for the people that DID actually self destruct on teh show. At least that had a reason to be angry or embarrased. They let it hang out a little as opposed to being so damned boring that they just drifted out of existence. Its ironic that Television homes in on people that are interesting and they get lots of mileage out of people that act in strange and interesting ways, but at the same time they always pander to the mindless commerrcial bots that live to buy and buy to live. Hardly good television, but great consumers. Consumers make bad television. | |
