Earlier
tonight, I forced myself to watch 15 full minutes of “Kourtney and Kim Take
Miami.” My reasoning went like
this: If I sit and concentrate and make
an intentional effort to give the show a chance I will then have some insight
into what makes our culture tick. My
attentive and careful analysis will allow me to report to all of you—who are
genuinely puzzled by such things—why reality TV of this kind resonates deeply
with so many people.
Unfortunately,
what I discovered, during my experiment, is that I am baffled, confused, lost,
genuinely clueless, and just a tiny bit frightened. Is it possible for your teeth to start
hurting just from watching a TV show? Mine
started killing me 8 minutes into the program.
Anyhow,
I’m sorry that I cannot explain what I saw, so it looks like it’s back to using
my time in other important ways. That
means I’ll be sitting and carefully watching my Twitter feed. After all, it should be pretty obvious, by
now, that I’m seriously committed to using my time in constructive ways.
