What exactly is the point of watching somebody act like an asshole on TV? I mean really. So many TV shows now survive simply because there's an asshole that people like watching. And I don't mean scripted TV either. I'm talking about non-scripted shows (like reality shows) which feature someone who is legitimately an asshole who acts as such, and people tune in to watch them treat other people like shit. Just what is the appeal? If it were funny, it would be one thing. Assholes who are assholes in a funny way can be entertaining at least, but these people are just obnoxious.
For starters, you have Simon Cowell, the tight-assed British dicknose with a bad haircut from American Idol, whose sole job is to tell people they suck and they have no future in the music industry. Again, I could see this as entertaining if it was even remotely funny and it wasn't the same shit over and over. "You're bloody horrible. That was bloody awful. Horrid, bloody horrid. You sound like bloody crap. My bloody farts sound better than your bloody singing. You broke a bloody window with that bloody racket. Uh-oh, I'd better change my bloody tampon because I'm on my bloody period which is why I'm so bloody cranky all the bloody time."
Then we've got Judge Judy. You know, that bitchy old hag who somehow got her own TV show?. What I really don't get about this is that people are supposed to take it seriously because it's supposed to be real people, real cases, blah blah blah. Yet the judge doesn't show even the slightest shred of professionalism whatsoever. If any real judge was that big of a bitch for no other reason than bitterness due to her sandy vagina, they'd soon find themselves out of work.
Next up, we've got Donald Trump. I have a nagging suspicion the only reason he has his own show is that he paid for the production and pays the network to run it just to stroke his ego. I mean think about it for ten seconds. We've all got asshole bosses we deal with every day, why the hell would we want to go home and spend our leisure time watching an asshole boss be a dick and fire people? And with all the money Donald Trump has, why can't he do something about that ridiculous hair? At least he has to live with himself being in a sham of a marriage where the only reason he got someone young and hot is his money. And you just know she cheats on him all the time. I mean come on, young hot chick married to an old rich asshole with saggy, wrinkly balls who probably hasn't had a natural erection in my lifetime. Yeah, she's screwing other men.
I haven't seen this show or heard of it in a while, but that old bitch from The Weakest Link annoyed the fuck out of me, too. Another classic case of cranky old bitch about to die who's got sand in her vagina who takes it out on younger people with a normal sex life just because some jackass gives her a microphone. The best part was how she would act like people were stupid whenever they missed a question, regardless of whether it was something a normal person would know the answer to or not. She would ask a contestant how to split an atom and make fun of them for not knowing the answer. You know what, bitch? It's real fucking easy to act smart when you're holding the answers right in front of you. I would have liked to see an episode of that show where the contestants got to ask her all the questions and call her a stupid bitch every time she missed one.
However, apparently there's another "give an asshole a microphone" reality TV show, and this one just blows me away. Hell's Kitchen. Perhaps you've heard of it. I was perusing fox.com and they had a popup of this show. As I understand it, it's another cookie-cutter elimination reality TV show, only this one based on people who, for God knows what reason, actually want to make it in the culinary business. The Apprentice meets the Food Network, if you will. And the guy who does the firing on this show? This will be hard to imagine, but picture a British fartknocker with a stupid name, a bad haircut, and a burr up his ass who enjoys yelling at the contestants and telling them they suck. Jesus H. Christ, Fox is recycling their own shitty ideas already. But a cooking reality show? How is that even interesting? I don't know, maybe I'd care if I was a woman and needed to learn how to cook.
