Yeah, that's, why I don't watch tv. It just rottens my brain, or what...
But! I've heard something. There was a lute-artist, prof. etc, and he thought: "Oh, why should I teach, work, I just play stupid, I will be a "celeb", and I will earn much money. -> And than he plays in the tv in adamcostumes, and is fool. And famous. He want a wife now -> tv-program for that. So simple, so stupid. Yo, in the USA are there lots of shows, it's not too strange, but here... now... so, it isn't so stange here anymore.
