December 2009: James Wolcott on Reality Television Entertainment & Culture: vanityfair.com


This is a brilliant article dissecting the world of Reality TV. The author even looks at the first Reality TV Show, Real Life from MTV.

This show lead the way for semi-adults (i.e. twenty-year-olds who have been promoted due to their youth) to say OK to teenagers when they act like spoiled 5-year-olds. Taking what they want, rather than asking for it and feeling that the world should bow at their feet.

No wonder they walk around with their heads in the clouds, they are waiting for someone to discover their life means enough to put them on a reality TV show.
