Reality Bites

In a recent study, it was found that young adults would rather watch a few episodes of a series as opposed to a movie. Furthermore, for at least 43% of them, their series of choice is Reality TV. "I can watch it all day and I don't feel bad. I love it so much. It just makes me happy" said a 20 year old lass. However, its not just the girls who are going gaga for reality shows, "Ya I dig them because they're just really funny.".

Where did this obsession with Reality TV stem from? Instead of spending time with actual friends, people are content to sit on their couch/bed/chair/floor/toilet and silently watch other people who they do not know from a bar of soap.

Awkward Child Moment of the Week

Things got a bit awkward with niece number 2 this week. Apparently she overheard some people talking. Things went a bit like this:

"Kayli" she said innocently.

"Yes, niece number 2?"

"Whats a golden shower?"

"You heard wrong. There is no such thing. They said golden power. It's a little cloth you use to clean gold jewellery."

"Oh."
