We house/dogsat for my parents this weekend (happy 30th anniversary, parents!). They have satellite TV and get a lot of different channels. Alan and I traded off dog watching and tv watching--I watched the dog on Saturday while he watched tv, and vice versa on Sunday. Unfortunately, I spent a great deal of time watching WEtv (a channel we, as cable subscribers, don't get). Specifically, I watched a couple episodes of Bridezillas. It's so awful.
I was going to write a post about it, and how awful these women were, and how awkward it is to watch a show like that, to see anyone treating people the way their families and friends (and vendors, for that matter) ended up being treated. But now that I think about it, and think about what I watched, I can't do it. It makes me uncomfortable to even think about the show--I mean, the producers are completely exploiting these women, and these women (though they may act this way anyway) enjoy being exploited. It's gross. Gross! Ladies: do not play into society's expectations of how you should/are expected to act. Fight the WIC!

Thanks for the kind wishes, my dear. Dad and I appreciate them. Bridezilla - huh....I'm NOT going to watch! I'm NOT GOING to WATCH! Also - very interesting about the songs. Just don't even consider "Wind Above my Wings" or I'll become MOBZILLA!
ReplyDeleteI mean "Wind Beneath My Wings".....Just the thought of it gets me soooo jangled!
