Mezmorization Television

Growing up as a kid... i was somewhat deprived and did not have Cable television. Even today, I don't think I would have cable if I didn't have a roommate that wanted it. When I first moved to Dallas, I didn't have cable for the first year, and life was fine.

After that though, i found a station called MTV. Heard of it? MTV stands for Music Television or something like that, but ironically enough, I don't think I've ever seen a video. Maybe it really stands for Mezmorization Television. Because if there is one thing it is good at, grabbing my attention and locking it for long periods of time.

Shows like Next, Real World, My Super Sweet 16, Cheyenne, Jackass, Tom Green Show, Parental Control, Maui Fever, The Hills, True Life, Spring Break 07 Unleashed, and so many others seem to always lock me in like a sniper locks in his next target in the cross hairs of his M40 Sniper Rifle (See picture).

So what is it that locks me in, probably the absurdity of what I am viewing? Most of it is cheesier than Chester Cheetah, but maybe that is the appeal. The fact that most of these people are so cheese and I just can't believe it almost makes me want to continue watching. You dig?
