Honey Boo Boo

First of all, I do not know what that Honey Boo Boo crap was but I do not understand how that has two million weekly viewers. However, I do see why Albom would mention these two separate things. It is because as people we should have been shocked by what we saw. Instead we sit around waiting for something else outlandish to happen to the people around us for some quick entertainment. Like Albom, I was shocked by what I saw in both videos, but I was still able to walk away unfazed. I mean the thing that keeps us coming back to these horrible reality tv shows is the drama they contain. As a people we always want to see others struggle, but never want our own personal slip ups to be seen. Instead of lending a hand, we wait to see others fail so we can laugh for a brief moment then go about our day. I would not say that reality tv has made me apathetic, I believe I have been like that for awhile now, but that it has given me a new view of the world and given me another reason to be even more apathetic.
