Meh.

The articles you linked, cite stats based on drunk drivers, not fucking goombah wannabe's, who only know two speeds, go and stop.

Fuck New Jersey. It's where souls go to die.

Slightly off from the discussion, but good for the thread.

I have an irrational hatred of every 'character' in the real housewives series. Those stupid bitches are a prime example of everything that's wrong with society today.

Personally, I just hate TV, period (with very few moto-racing-related exceptions).

I'm not a big fan of tv in general, but there are a few shows I will watch:

Top Gear (UK, not that bullshit US version)
The Walking Dead (fuck yea)
Modern Family
Parenthood
Motorcycle/F1/Touring Car racing
Through the wormhole

And occasionally some shit on the science or discovery channel if it's interesting (How it's made, etc)


Most everything else is garbage. Esp these 'shock' reality tv shows that people love because it makes them feel better about themselves. (Toddlers & Tiaras - dear god what an abortion of a show, Jersey Shore, etc)


*Edited to clarify that it's the UK version of Top Gear and not that diahrrea spewing forth from the US version.

I also hate these women, and I've never even seen the show.

And like azoom said, I hate reality TV in general. Good shows like Eureka get cancelled while crap like The Jersey Shore just keeps going. And multiplies. Ad nauseum.
