Reality tv is a direct contemporary reflection of parts of our society. Be it the actors or the viewers.
Sci fi , although I like it, is garbage, its escapisim. The amount of teenagers i have seen throw themselves into these worlds to block out reality is simply awful, I am a teacher, they dont learn how to socialise and they dont learn basic norms. Ther eis no difference between people who live in a fantasy world and those who take drugs. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Buttimer To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, April 20, 2012 12:34 PM Subject: Re: Midkemia on tv I agree BUT here my counter argument, what has road rules, Jersey Shore, Simple life, or any of the others that fall into those categories vs say just star trek or star wars? Sci=Fi causes you to dream and want that technology IE communicators to cell phones. Sci Fi helps society long term, reality is just brainless tv. but again this is my arguement which doesnt make it a fact to anyone but me :D -----Original Message----- From: Jeff C Goodhall <[email protected]> To: feistfans-l <[email protected]> Sent: Fri, Apr 20, 2012 5:29 am Subject: Re: Midkemia on tv I find it REALLY fuuny all the people who diss MTV, reality shows etc..... for being waste of time, mindless entertainment. Guess what alot of people think Fantasy and Scfi is? Waste of Time, mindless entertainment. :) If there is a market for something it sells if not it doesnt. We all have different tastes.
