Should Reality TV Be Boycotted?

Every Monday night the world waits for the drama to unfold. Monday Night TV is not like it used to be all you see now is drama and more drama.  From Basketball Wives, Bad Girls Club, Love and Hip Hop and many others to follow I don’t know which one is worse. When the show Basketball Wives was first introduce to the world many thought that we would see some of the beautiful and intelligent wives of famous basketball players but we were wrong. The show actually consists of women who were either left at the altar or who were in a process of getting a divorce.

From the first season on down to the season that is airing now the drama has got to the point where it is just right ridiculous. We are seeing grown ass women arguing over who is the flyest, who said this and who is not my friend. Even though some of the things they are arguing about are some true factors that most females face when they growing up it shouldn't be shown with women who are over the age of 30. Yeah we as the viewers know that this is just reality TV but what we really don't know is why this women or even men sign up for the drama. Could be because they are money hungry? Could it be because they need and want the attention? Could it be because they are trying to get their husbands back? Could it because they are trying to get their wives back?

I don't think the show producers actually think about how these women will be portray in the limelight. I think all they are thinking about is how many more zero's they can add to their bank accounts. Can we just say that only our African American Women are the only ones that are acting crazy and childish? I don't think so, the Caucasians and the Italians are acting just the same. Women of the reality TV world need to know that they have many young kids that are watching and enjoying them to the fullest but are they watching them for all the wrong reasons. What happen to the parental controls they used to have for the computer software? Do we need that for TV?

Yes money may rule the world but can money buy you pride, integrity, intelligence and self empowerment. Yes if Reality TV was boycotted we may not have anything left to watch, but at least these women and even men that are on these shows will have their true character, true personality and even better they will have their integrity.
