Title: Generation Meh sponsored by such shows as Jersey Shore and the Kardashians Post by: toddtervy on March 26, 2015, 04:34:55 AM Generation Meh sponsored by such shows as Jersey Shore and the Kardashians. Seems to me this population is slowly getting real dumb. Perhaps it's all the sugar, trash in the food, dumb television, no morals, just to name a few.

These "shows" are being bought by other countries that want to have their own version and the cancer spreads. I stopped watching TV years ago when they started doing this like 10 minute commercial breaks and repeating the same crap over and over. Why would I watch a movie or a series on TV if it takes 30 min longer because of all the breaks?
On the other hand maybe the population isn't getting dumber but we are getting old. :D Title: Re: Generation Meh sponsored by such shows as Jersey Shore and the Kardashians Post by: toddtervy on March 26, 2015, 06:35:58 AM There's even more to it.

And now this question has been brought into even sharper focus by the publication of a 1912 Bullitt County, Kentucky, test required for eighth-grade graduation — a test that most of today’s college graduates couldn’t pass" Then check this story out: Genius female chimpanzee found to be smarter than U.S. high school students http://www.naturalnews.com/036980_genius_chimpanzee_intelligence.html At any rate, another thing I notice is they'll repeat information as fact, and treat it as fact without actually bothering to know whether it is or not. I find a lot of them have 'learned' things that are simply speculation or myth, and it's hard to even convince them they're wrong no matter how obvious the proof, they'd rather defend their myth than be convinced of a truth.

That said, these reality shows makes the viewer feel like they have a stake in the show as if they're are somehow related or part of the family. However, by and large, if this is the type of program you turn on right when you get home from work and are part of the boobeoisie then I throw them in with other segments of the low info crowd that is easily manipulated by the media cause they spend very little time critically thinking about what is going on in the world and focusing on holding their governments accountable.
