Today I am going to talk about some TV programmes that I consider a real waste of time. I guess all of you know the well-known reality show “big brother” . This program is broadcast in most countries around the world and shows how young people spend three months lying down on the sofa, drinking and smoking and having sex with each other. Anyway I am not going to talk about this one, instead I will tell about others. There is a program in Spain called “farmer looks for wife” . In this program two women who are interested in getting married with a yokel live with him in his farm for three months. The women work with him in his daily work and must prove him that they are good workers, especially cooking and cleaning. Of course they must to seduce him to get his love. The last day the yokel will decide who is going to be his wife.
There is another programme called: “who wants to marry my son?” It consists of three mothers who help their sons to get a wife. Lets turn to foreign programmes. “The origins of love” is an American reality show that American singles with an Norwegian origin meet young Norwegians women who they will be living with for three months. After that time such women will return their country and the American men will must to make a hard decision: saying them goodbye for ever or going with them to settle in Norway. “The neighbourhood of one million dollars” is a Canadian show where one hundred families must live in the same neighbourhood with just one thousand dollars for ten weeks. “Honey you are getting fat” is a Sweden reality show that husbands or wives try to encourage their partners to lose weight. Who loses most weight wins the competition. “Parents at jail” is based on Netherlands and deals with sons and daughters who visit their imprisoned parents. “Hidden massage” is a programme from Finland where a celebrity is making a massage to a common citizen. The latter cannot watch him/her and must to find out who that famous person is. “Sleepyheads competition” is a Japanese reality show that the aim is sleeping. There are three challenges: sleeping fast, waking up fast and to stay without sleeping. Who best does these challenges will win the competition. The last one I want to talk about is “Are you normal?” This one is an American contestant that competitors must answer questions that usually are very easy. It is a way of measuring the general culture of American citizens. I have chosen this one to end this article because the title has a lot to do with this kind of programmes viewers. People who watch rubbish TV programmes should ask this question to themselves. I am proud of not being like them and do not waste my time watching rubbish programmes because that would mean my life is boring and sad. I think their lives are empty and that is why they watch these programmes. Moreover this kind of viewers are not intelligent. Most of them must be mentally handicapped so we must respect them and pray for their severe disease. Anyway someone should help them through impeding them to watch this kind of educational programmes since watching these shows will get worse their disease. You can see one of these programmes on this link.
