Friday's Rant: The Hills

I'm hesitant to even bring this one up. But it's annoying...and I guess that's what rants are all about. It's about this television show called, "The Hills" and the 30-something women that are inexplicably obsessed with it. If by some chance you haven't heard of this show, consider yourself lucky.

I've never really seen this show - but near as I can tell it intended for late teen, early twenties women, portrayed as some sort of "reality-type" show and consists of a bunch of lilly-white rich kids living their lives in "the Hills." Absolutely a stereotypical California lifestyle. Anyway...

Everything I know about the show I've pretty much heard from the mindless babble coming from 30-something women who apparently think this show is real. "Like, O-M-G, did you watch the Hills last night? I totally can't believe what Spencer said to Heidi. What a jerk. And what do you think about Lauren's hair? ...Seriously! I can't wait for the new season to start...I have it set on my TiVo"

I hear them at work, on the radio, while standing in line at Hy-Vee - they even have shows ABOUT the show...heck, the other day I heard two women talking about it at Lowe's! Now, people, that's where I draw the line.

I hate to burst any bubbles, but ladies, the show is completely fake. Seriously. It's not real. Completely made up.

Friends and neighbors, it's not the show...there's a lot of dumb crap on TV. It's not that people talk about the show. It's the women that I see who are waaaay to old to be apparently believing that it's real! It boggles my mind! Now, I'm not saying "grow up," I'm just saying it might be time to consider that you're not 17 anymore - and others around you are noticing. No offense. :)

Breathe in, breathe out...this week's rant is over.
