Last night I was watching a video on Youtube where Tupac was basically saying how celebrities have all of this money and spend it on having 10 houses when they only need one or having 20 cars and really still only need one. It doesn't only make me upset, but it pisses me off when I see these commercials with celebrities talking about donate to the hungry and the abused animals. I give to the disadvantaged all of the time, but I am living paycheck to paycheck and in reality most of us are. So why can't these people who are just wasting money on all these houses and cars, give that money to the poor and let us people who are really struggling to get through life, just be? Okay now I just had to let that all out before I go into what today's post is about.
I use to enjoy watching reality shows until I realized the money these people are making by me just watching their shows. The other day I was looking on the internet to see how much the cast of Jersey Shore makes. Now I am guilty of watching Jersey Shore. I did use to love this show, until I realized that it just made no sense. Why am I watching people get paid to party and fight? Anyway, I found out that Snooki from Jersey Shore makes about $1,950,000 a season. This is ridiculous! Now there are people out here like right now, down the street, and around the corner at a grocery market making between $7-$8/hr and they are doing hard work and truly getting underpaid. But, Jersey Shore cast members are living the high life by getting paid to do something that they normally do anyway. This world is truly fucked up. So from now on, I shall not be watching any reality shows except for True Life. I really do like that show because its more of a documentary. People we really need to wake up and see that just by us watching a show we are promoting bullshit. I know everyone is out there trying to make money and these shows can be entertaining, but the more reality shows there are, the more reality is not shown.
