I know i'm going to sound self-righteous and i don't mean to, but i'm
so sick of the disgusting show.
I'm amazed at how many people watch it and are entranced by it.
Seriously, you're shocked that the bachelor is a turdbag?
How is that a surprise to anyone?
Doesn't the fact that he volunteered to be on that show give you the clue that he's a total skeez?
Yet, when he doesn't do what you want him to, suddenly he's the biggest jerk ever.
Nevermind the fact that he's told numerous women that he loved them and that he's making out with out women while telling them that he loves them too. nah, that's cool.
It's just tv. it's part of the game. You have to use and abuse people to find true love sometimes.
sure that's acceptable.
But whenever he does whatever he did last night, well that's just crossing the line! And everyone is indignant! How dare prince charming do that! He had us all fooled!
Are you ^&^#&ing kidding me??? Whose idea of a prince charming is that in the FIRST PLACE?? and let me get this straight...you're indignant about his choice, but you're totally fine with the premise of the show in the first place?? You're shocked to find out that someone who would go on such a reprehensible show in the first place did something you find offensive? well duuuuuuuh! hello America, the entire show is reprehensible!
the smarmy guy on the sleazy show made a decision you don't like and now you're offended?
Geez that show is SUCH trash! It takes something that God created, a beautiful gift intended to stir worship in our hearts for Him and they twist it into something disgusting and lustful for our own entertainment. They take LUST, dress it up real pretty and tell America that that is what love is! That's what love is supposed to be like. It's ok to makeout with 2 girls at once and tell them you love them as long as each know about the other. it's ok to play with hearts. It's ok to see people as a prize to won and to seek out the one that makes you the happiest. It's ok to base love on attraction and physical beauty. yeah, that's a real healthy mindset.
Let's glorify and watch it every week. Let's be entertained by how the world has twisted God's gift of love and desire and turned it into a self-centered competition! AND let's make sure there's minimal swearing so that it's considered clean so the kids can watch it and learn from it.
awesome. just awesome.
Maybe after last night America is finally embarrassed by what they've been watching.
Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. i don't watch it. I watched part of a season of it about 5 years ago. but it just makes me feel sick. I see all i need to know about that show just from the commercials.
And YES, i probably watch crap too. though i honestly don't watch that much tv these days. But i'm not saying i'm above all that. I have a wicked little heart too. To be sure! That show just pushes my buttons so badly! and i see a thousand statuses about how they're looking forward to the finale yesterday and then a MILLION statuses about it after it aired. blech.
I can't think of anything right off that bat that I find as offensive as that show, simply because of the coy messages and incredibly harmful lies that it implants in people's mind without them even realizing. Do you have any idea how much damage this does to a little girl when this gets in her mindset? you have to look pretty. beauty is the most important thing. you need to be sexy. you need to be aggressive with guys. you need to makeout, that's what guys want, that's how you know you love them. you need to play games. it's all about you being right for the guy, who cares if you're right for him. it's all about how it make you feel. does he make you feel happy? cuz that's what love it! it's a happy feeling! more importantly, do YOU make him feel happy? uh-oh, better make sure you're living to make a guy happy so he'll want you.
Aren't these the subtle messages that the show teaches?
Isn't this exactly what we're supposed to guard our sisters and daughters from?
It's demeaning and disgusting.
yet, everyone sees it as just an innocent little show to enjoy for laughs!
I guess that goes back to how so many of us live with our head in the sand, and how we need God to shake us and open up our eyes to the reality of the world, and how we need to live with purpose and not just let life live us.
sorry...i'm not trying to be self-righteous. i'll sit here and list my failures if you want. i realize i'm just as bad off even though i don't watch it.
i'm sorry for the LONG-winded rant. needed to get that out.
Here's a hilarious photo to get you out of the depression I probably just put you in.
i hope this makes up for all my rantyness today! smile!
And here's one more hilarious photo because I kinda felt like posting another hilarious photo.
it's hilarious because the kid's face is funny. he's all surprised and scared. now do you get it?
The second picture is funny, the first one is scary.
ReplyDeleteAnd I must say I have to agree with you. Not only is it ridiculous to believe that a love that will last a life time (which means one that doesn't always FEEL good), can be found in a situation (that turns the whole thing into a game show process and decides that one of the number must be the one this guy needs...), much less in six weeks! Or however long it is. Anyway, I think you stated it well enough so that I don't have to rant. Good point, Jordan.
