What about Miriam?
I can’t get over this “Something About Miriam” show. I haven’t seen it, but I have heard about it. Six boofy blokes compete to woo a hot chick, $10000 and a week long cruise.
Only, the chick ain’t a chick. She’s a pre-op transexual.
I’m a bit torn on this issue, if there is an issue at all with this show. One one hand, I can’t believe that the producers would be willing to subject those seven people to such humiliation. Sure the chick is one hot babe, but once the chosen bloke finds out she’s a man he is going to reject her.
On the other hand, this all makes rather entertaining TV.
But this is the whole issue, at least to me personally. Why would I take delight in someone being humiliated, especially in front of an audience of millions? Am I that shallow that I can only find entertainment at the expense of others emotions?
And how can TV entertainment in general come to this? I think this is crossing the line, even for “Reality TV”, which is an oxymoron if there ever was one.
