There's Something About 'Reality' TV...

I'm sure lots of people have already heard about the controversial show "There's Something About Miriam". The one where lots of men compete for the affections of Miriam. The catch being that Miriam is a man. Of course I think that's a horrible thing to do to those poor men who are probably traumatised for life now. And of course I'll be watching it.

Call anything controversial and the ratings will go up. Especially weak TV viewers like me who will watch anything that shows how people behave in unusual circumstances. It's like watching someone being the subject of a practical joke. It's funny to watch but you wouldn't want to be in that person's shoes.

Although people who go on reality shows shouldn't be so naive. Don't they know that they're volunteering to be humiliated?
