Everybody wants to be famous...

... and they don't seem to matter at what price...

Good thing for my friend Jonathan though, he's a sound technician who mostly works for reality TV... and I have to admit that I kind of enjoy to sit in front of my television and just laugh at these people...

After Idols, Big Brother, Star Academy, The Block, Joe Millionaire, The apprentice etc. we now have this reality show running called "seeking a daughter in law", four single guys have been presenting themselves during the commercial breaks, announcing they're looking for a match, and that their parents will help them with their search...
And it's sad... but in a way it's hysterical as well, and it's a good way for me to lose some frustration, because I just sit there in my sofa and shout at the guys, mostly in terms like "loser, you're not looking too good yourself", "get back under your cow..."
one of them specifically requested girls who were sportive and fit and well trained, because he practices a lot of sports himself... he was looking in on the table and he didn't like what he saw... some of the girls were a bit too overweight for him, and then there was a girl with really short hair and he wondered what "that guy" was doing there... good start for a relationship... ;-)

The new series of idols have started as well... I still don't understand what 99% of the candidates are doing there... they sing out of tune and completely off key and then they start crying because they've been told to take up singing lessons... come on... someone should have told them that they cannot sing... it's not like I'm the world's best singer myself, I sing off key as well, but I'm not waiting in queue for over ten hours to have someone tell me that... and then start crying afterwards because everyone I know is making fun of me for my performance on television...

But it's even getting worse, because most programs are reality TV nowadays, the people who used to be famous and who used to work for television are kind of getting put aside and have less work to do, ergo less income, so they found a solution for that as well...
Now we have reality TV with famous people; big brother VIP, Stars on Ice, etc.

And the company I work for now has digital TV as well and they decided to dedicate not less than 5 channels for big brother, 4 channels covering 4 different areas in the house and 1 channel which covers the four others, so you get an overall view, 24/7...

But if everyone gets fame all of a sudden, then we all get back on the same level again, it's harder to run into someone who hasn't been on tele for one thing or another, then to run into someone who thinks you should hold the doors and you should kiss the bloody ground because she's been in the BB house...
jep, my respect's growing on a daily basis...
