Is reality TV a horror, or merely horrible?

www2.ljworld.com — Whenever reality TV shows bore me — and that’s practically all the time — I like to reimagine them as grade-Z horror movies in the making. Jan 30, 2012 View in Crawl 4

Yeah, I can see the "it's so bad it's good" aspect to reality tv, but no, I don't watch. The programming is both a horror and horrible.

And they get the worst people for the shows, the kind we like to hate (citation: Snookie).

my ex-wife used to subject me to 'reality' shows... utter tripe, every last second.. but worse still, her infatuation with these shows, in contrast to my own disgust with them, began to undermine (well, contribute, in addition to other things) my respect for her as an intellectual.

horrible indeed, just a mere publicity gathering way...thats it...no spontaneity, no reality, where everything is framed beforehand just to attract eye balls....thats it..

Or is it an oxymoron?

The solution is on its way. They will be launching televisions with a BLOCK button for the individual user. I have been calling for this feature in many of my posts. Just imagine that you can press a button and you will never see a repeat of anything on TV that annoys you. The SmartTV is on its way!!
