Why You Suck: John and Kate

December 22, 2009 178 Comments

Confession time. I watch inordinate amounts of bad, bad TV. My DVR is chock filled with Celeb-reality awfulness, prime-time network schlock, late-night cop shows, you name it. TV has always been my favorite medium, aside from books. Give me sixty minutes of idiocracy over a two-hour dramatic movie any time. I like my entertainment to be really light-hearted and entertaining. And I don’t reprimand myself for watching these cultural atrocities because the people who appear in the shows I watch are all in it for the fame. They are all fully, truly aware that they are compromising and exploiting themselves for the sake of fame. And I am fully, truly aware of how awful the shows are. I enjoy watching the edits, too. I like to listen for key splices where I know the editors are trying to make things sound as horrible as possible. I like to imagine the off-camera producers prodding away at their cast, giving them ideas to make things as dramatic as possible, rigging things so that cast mates get angry at each other. Maybe it’s because I focus on heady, important matters oftentimes in work that I want my entertainment as mindless as possible. Maybe it’s because I edit video all the time that I appreciate the over-manipulation of bad TV. Whatever it is, I don’t think I’m being a bad citizen by watching a certain kind of bad TV. But John and Kate Plus Eight? That’s a whole other kind of bad. And you all watched it! So I thought it would make a first great topic for an idea I have had for a recurring segment called Why You Suck. So, here it is! Hope you enjoy it, suckers.

    [..YouTube..] You know, I have heard about Jon and Kate on legitimate radio news stations while in the car – that is rediculous. I have never seen the show, but I am sure it makes angels cry. Oh, and entertains Americans.

    [..YouTube..] At first glance, I’d assume that your a friggin idiot. You really think she’s the only American that thinks this way about retarded reality shows? How about your hero, Michael Jackson? Wasn’t he an American too? Idiots like you make me laugh, you love American things, yet you’ve got the balls to go and say some bullshit like “Resident is waay too smart to be an American”. Yeah? Well let me tell you something, genius. The Bahamas is not famous for breeding intelligent people.
