Reality TV is NOT reality

Today we talked about our readings Honey Boo and the show Real Housewives. I personally dislike reality TV. I don't think it is any sort of "reality" whatsoever. I agree with the articles that we read. I think that the show Honey Boo exploits some of the children on the TV show. The use of sub titles dumbs them down. When Honey Boo Boo's mom was on the Wendy show they didn't need to use subtitles. She also seemed like she knew how to manage their money from the TV show. She said that they couldn’t touch the money until they are 21 years old. TLC makes them come off as uneducated and these kids are probably more educated than most children. Because of the kids sounding uneducated it makes them also seem poor because of their lack of vocabulary. These children are made fun of like a carnival because of these subtitles and the type of language they use. The Real Housewives is a ridiculous show. It’s about women who have rich husbands and spend all their money and can’t get enough of DRAMA. This show is pretty much about ongoing drama between the housewives. I hope to NEVER become one of them because there are more important things in life than fighting with other GROWN women. I think this show is a bad example because other housewives that have money don’t act like them.
