Reality Check

Ok, I need a T.O. ... Did I just hear correctly? Is Terrell Owens seriously filming a reality show? My goodness this guy is a flake. So...he couldn't report to his brand new team on time (knowing he has a tarnished reputation as-is), because he was too busy sealing the deal on a reality show? This whole situation sickens me on many levels.

For one, I cannot stand (un)reality TV America. Half of them are scripted, the other half are an exploitation of people with serious psychological issues, and the third half doesn't exist because there can only be two halves (dummies). Seriously though, on top of all that, it is becoming a sickening trend...everyone pops up with a reality show--when will it stop? There is almost always a reality show that stems from a previous reality show, it's a vicious cycle...What's next? Drew Rosenhaus in "Bringing Down the Haus"? Lord help us.

Speaking of the snake, does this mean he's gonna try to be the next Ari Gold? Does this mean he's going to try and break into the entertainment biz? Does he rep TO in this venture? Beware moviegoers, if he leetches his way into the entertainment world, we may soon be paying Disney prices to watch our favorite films.

In all seriousness, does anyone else find this ridiculous? Hey Owens...you're IN a reality show, it's called the National Football League. What bothers me most of all is that the motivation is transparent. Image repair. Seeking empathy. Nothing heals an image better than letting people know more about one's human side. Well I call bullshit. Reality shows are so obviously scripted, and all of them are self-serving pieces of garbage. We all know it, yet we are all hooked. They are like train wrecks, you can't look away. This will be no different. He'll cry, he'll give to charity, he'll contemplate suicide, he'll hug teammates, and kiss babies...and everyone will eat it up...even me.
