Television

It's quite an experience when someone who doesn't have cable TV enters a house that does have it.

Tonight my friend and his girlfriend came over for a while, neither of which has cable TV. I gave her free reign of the remote cos I don't care what's on TV anymore. A year ago I was hardcore into Discovery, but now I just hear about shows like Dexter and Breaking Bad, wait a year and then bulk download the whole series and shotgun it in a day. Tonight my friend's girlfriend cruised through the channels until she hit Lifestyle You. I didn't know we had that channel.

What was on was the weirdest show I've ever seen: Four Weddings.

It's a show about 4 brides who go to each others weddings and rate them out of 10, and the winner gets a free honeymoon. Can I just say, I get pissy with someone who doesn't like the same movies as me. These girls are merciless, and shallow, and just horrible.

One of the girls has a traditional Jewish wedding, with the little caps, in a cinagog, Jewish vows, and the groom doesn't get a ring. The 3 spectating girls went mental over everything, saying it was horrible and boring.

Did the purpose of weddings change in the last few years? Is it not a day to celebrate your love and devotion to another person where the woman gets to make all the decisions and to repay the husband for putting up with her during that time, he gets to fuck her in the butt?

While I don't really care for marriage, I understand that it's a huge deal for some people. I don't understand how a show like this exists? At the very least, I say kudos to these 4 women for letting 3 other people judge their wedding on their own terms. If you walk away from that without tears, you have thicker skin than I do.
