Rated as Overrated

Tagged by Jappy:

1. Reality TV Shows

Wheter be it local or international. For example; Pinoy Big Brother, come on! Who in their right minds would believe that real people act like that? Some say it's a social experiment, some would say it's breakthrough TV, I'd say, it's the same format over and over again: Put a group of people together, maroon them somewhere, make then do task or challenges and dangle a hefty cash prize - people would act like that, in front of the camera for the ratings!

2. Super Models

I know that I have been watching too much "America's Next Top Model" lately, but that only fortified my belief that being a model is overrated. Imagine, not accepting a job that would pay less that $10,000! Ridiculous!

3. Designer Clothes

I love clothes! I love shopping. But please - put a weird sounding name on it and price multiplies one hundred fold.

4. Gangsters / Rockers

Puhleassseee!

5. Philippines Politics

Hello Garci? ZTE? Erap?

6. New Age Whathaveyou / Self-Help Guru's

I can't understand why they call it "New Age" when the concept that their selling has been in existence and practived for the longest time. Ang oh, the self-help thingie, if you want to really improve yourself, you don't need a book/speaker to tell you that. You'll only make them richer.

7. Sex

Yes, sex is overrated.

8. Discrimination

This should have been left in the last century.

9. Street Parliaments / Activism

Gone are the days when being tagged as "tibak" was a heroic thing. Marcos is dead. Let's focus our energies in nation-building instead, like what we should have done years ago.

10. USA

Three words: Iraq, Katrina, Bush.
'nuff said.
