I am not a fan of
“chick channels.”Women’s Entertainment, Lifetime, Style…name it…I am not a fan.
The messages these channels send are atrocious, but these channels are car
accidents for me. Despite my disdain for the chosen programming that these
producers play, I cannot help myself from watching these shows. I can feel the
anger, frustration, the shock from watching the programs, but I fail to turn
the channel and just say “NO” to this horrible drug of mine. I am weak and
admittedly have no plans on strengthening my will power to be able to look away
from such mindless dribble. After all, I feel more intelligent and my life
looks a lot better after watching others in a far worse predicament than
myself.
No wonder singles
desperately seek companionship. We have so many wedding shows promoting how it’s
better to be miserable and married than to be happily single. Yes, I have
planned how my wedding dress will look and that I want a tasty (and huge)
wedding cake. However, I am happy to be single rather than be in an unhealthy
relationship. I wonder why in the world some of these men would choose to be in
a relationship with a whiney, a ghetto get-in-your-face, or a lush bridezilla.
I question the sanity of these brides who cry at the sight of a wrinkled
wedding dress or a dress that has become too tight or too loose. Have these
brides heard about steam cleaning, ironing, alterations...the fact that the
world does not end because of a fixable situation? Enough complaints, ladies,
just say “yes” to a dress! You can alter it later.
The way these girls
behave is shockingly abhorrent and I can’t believe how people would accept or
even tolerate such behavior. Yet, these channels are gaining profit and
celibritizing these brides…thus promoting and perpetuating such behavior. I
can’t really chastise these programmers, though. After all, people, like me,
are finding themselves to be passerby’s to such a car wreck resulting in
supporting such behaviors. Because of my decision (as well as other viewers) to
not change the channel, we are not only playing a significant role by promoting
this behavior, but we are also allowing our females to believe that marriage is
the way to go in life. Don’t give me Sex in the City…that’s just as trashy and
misguided as the “chick channels.” Where are the stories about single women who
live responsibly and don’t need to be married or need to “use” men to get what
they want? Oh, wait, that’s like watching cars driving on the street…not
interesting at all…car wrecks are much better to watch. Now, I understand.
Despite the
drama-filled shows, I stand up on my soap box shouting out (figuratively) to
all of my readers (which total two):
Let us STOP the
perpetual insanity and change the channel.
Let us not promote
such interesting filth.
Let us watch
something educational that teaches us how to better ourselves.
Let us…..
Let us finish reading
this blog, because Jerseylicious has just begun.
Until next time…happy
viewing whatever blog, email, or show you choose to watch.
