OK, here is tomorrow’s line up of E! Entertainment:
* 6:00 PM Running In Heels : Watch three interns ‘cat fight’ amongst themselves and get insulted by their boss who claims that she’s a ‘benevolent dictator .’ »»» How inspirational!
* 6:30 PM Kimora: Life In The Fab Lane: Tune in to see how the rich and you-better-know-that-she-is-rich Kimora Lee Simmons live her ‘glamorous’ life »»»A show that teaches about modesty and humbleness(!)
* 7:00 PM E! News:

* 8:00 PM E! Entertainment Special
* 9:00 PM Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami: I can just hear them say: “Aren’t we, like, so HOT!?!? We like to waltz around in teeny tiny outfits and party, party, party, wooooo!”
* 9:30 PM Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Can Kim actually get her butt in her jeans, THIS TIME??
* 10:00 PM Kendra: Let’s see Hef’s ex-bunny start a ‘normal’ life…
* 10:30 PM Chelsea Lately
* 11:00 PM Keeping Up With The Kardashians: As if one show per day, isn’t enough!
* 11:30 PM Playboy Mansion, Girls Of The: Nothing like a good ol’ late-night ‘reality’ show.. Boob-flashing, alcohol, an old man with three ditzy blondes that are old enough to be his grandchildren!
Now what is my point here exactly?
The point is that out of 11 time slots for TV shows, 7 of them are ‘reality’ shows, and if you have seen any one of these, then you would understand my comments that I made above.
First of all, no one and I repeat NO ONE in these shows lead normal lives. Can somebody tell me where you can see an eighty-something year old man live with so many young women under the same roof other than the Playboy Mansion??
Ironically, these shows are called ‘reality’ shows since they are supposedly real. It is portrayed by the media thatt the lifestyle or the point of view these reality stars represent are very common. If this were the case, then why don’t I see anything this disturbing when I look out my window every once in a while?
Following this argument, I would like to ask this question: What do we learn from these reality shows? I’m going to answer this question just like Salman Rushdie did in his article.
It’s ‘good’ to be disrespectful to your parents.
It’s ‘good’ to be promiscuous.
It’s ‘good’ to splurge your money for things you don’t need and share this with the rest of the world.
This list of immoral behaviour can go on and on.
I just don’t know when we’ll actually have the courage to stop wasting our time with these kind of shows and face OUR reality.

Wow Hazal, you have a mightily impressive writing style! Where did you learn to write like a native speaker?? The irony in your post is simply delicious, and I really liked the way you followed Rushdie in your "It's good to be..." constructions.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work!
One thing I forgot to mention - I noticed you added some labels to your post, which is great. You now just need to add the Labels gadget to your sidebar. You can check out "How to display labels" on p.6 of the Blogging guide on SU Course. If you have any difficulties, I'll show you in class.
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge compliment Sonja. Thank you so much! I'm blushing right now :)
ReplyDeleteMy writing style actually depends on the topic I'm tackling. Hopefully, I'll be able to show a lot of my skills here. I just love learning languages, and I never miss a chance to practice. English has always been important to me, so I'm glad that you liked my work :))
I added the labels gadget. I hope that it's okay now.
ReplyDeleteyup, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI'm very jealous of your foreign language writing skills...can't wait to read more...
Thank you very much Sonja! I'll try my best :)
ReplyDeleteAs you might have noticed, I have added a new entry. There is no irony this time, but I hope you'll enjoy it.
Let’s see Hef’s ex-bunny start a ‘normal’ life…:D there was a movie called "house bunny" a playboy girl dismissed from the Playboy Mansion and try to survive. ı've never think of that kinda story can be real...
