There's gonna be this new show called Baby Borrowers on tv soon. It's a reality show where like these teenagers who want to be parents are given babies or toddlers to take care of for a while so they'll realize how hard kids are and they won't get knocked up.
I guess it's because there's that writer strike that all the reality shows are coming out now, but this is the dumbest thing ever.
It makes sense that some kids need this - maybe if Jamie Lynn Spears had gotten to take care of a bratty kid for a while she would have taken more care to not get pregnant. I read that taking birth control pills are 98% effective when they're taken properly, and that most of the time when people get pregnant even though they're taking them it's due to human error.
Maybe I'm nuts but this seems stupid - not every single thing needs to be on tv for everyone to see. Okay I have a blog, but I get to pick and choose what I share. Plus, only seven people read it, and that's way less than the like, hundreds of thousands of people watching reality tv shows.
Like Super Nanny. How come these people aren't embarrassed to have their bratty kids shown to everybody? Why don't people want privacy? Is it because I share everything with my sisters that I want privacy? Is it because sometimes I really do have dreams where when I take a shower I don't have to listen to somebody talking?
Why does everyone want to be on tv? What's wrong with me that I don't?

I completely agree with you. First of all it's a horrible idea. Why on Earth would a sane parent want to give the irresponsible of the teens their baby to look after, arg! And no, you're not alone. I never want to be famous. I don't want to be on TV (now being rich, that I could live with!)
Happy Monday :-)
I totally agree. I hate all the reality TV shows out there, they pretty much showcase the very worst of any possible thing you could think of. Makes you feel good to be part of the human race, doesn't it? ;P

i think this baby borrowing thing is not an altogether bad idea, it makes sense to teach teenagers how much attention and responsibility a baby demands. i've heard that there are educational programs for schools where the students get somethink like an electric baby doll that demands food and attention and care in regular intervals - tamagotchi style, i guess.
but i don't get what all this reality tv show stuff is all about either. not only do i wonder why everyone seems to want to be on tv, what puzzles me more is - who wants to watch all that shit? if hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't be watching it, it wouldn't be shown. so there must be something about this "indecent display" that is endlessly fascinating to people. i'm not so sure what that says about our human race ...
