Reality tv

What is the deal with reality tv anyway? Why do we even call it reality in the first place? Are there really people that live like that? Drinking all day and night and sleeping with anything that moves. I do get a kick out of some of the shows though. I mean how amusing is it to watch these morons get on national tv and make complete jack asses of themselves? Maybe I'll have to make my own someday on YouTube. I'll call it the extremely bored Californian stuck in wisconsin.
