As you know we have a TV in the breakroom here at Initech, the thing is constantly on and the volume is constantly up. (I realize that some people live like this, I used to, I changed.)
Tonight I was trying to read during an episode of Trading Spouses, where, if you don't know the premise, two incredibly different wives are swapped between families. I know this template has been the cornerstone of reality TV since The Real World.
But it finally dawned on me.
Reality TV is Human Cruelty for profit.
Dog fighting is illegal in all 50 states, but millions of people tune in every night to gawk at human fighting.
The dogs don't know any better, they're just following their instinct (or more likely have been abused and trained to kill). The humans should know better.
