Yeah.

So there's this new show on Channel 10 called Yasmin's Getting Married (I'd include a link, but the page only has a 'create your perfect man' game . . .) The supposed purpose is to find Yasmin the love of her life and then they will get married. In 9 weeks.

The real purpose seems to be making the hosts look cool, while making fun of Yasmin and every male putting themselves up to date her . . .

And it all made me think about the 'falling in love on television' thing. And therefore, because I'm in a poll mood - a poll.

[Poll #783504]


ETA - I just played with the 'ideal man creator'. There's no men with beards. No men with glasses. How can I make my ideal man!! Tragedy!!

Of course. That's the whole point. Why should the audience have all the fun?

I answered this because the peeople really deserve to be made fun of if they are stupid enough to go on the show in the first place. I have no patience or tolerance for stupid people.

Agreed. I'd have said the same thing if the host wasn't so annoying *g*

I can't stand those "find a mate" reality shows. Aside from the indignity of it all, the idea of pitting people against each other in order to "win" a person really disgusts me.

I have so many issues with this show. I can't think of a place to start . . .

I'm the same. I mean, there's my main issue, which is... Howard thinks gay marriage devalues the institution of marriage?

And then most of the rest of my objections stem from the fact that I really do think that marriage is generally a good thing, and that it should not be entered into lightly, or unadvisedly, or simply to beef up Australian content on channel ten.

And the show belittles everyone. Women. Men. Human beings.

Just think - channel 10 could have spent that money on drama.
