It still goes on. Nobody I know watches it. TV shows like that do not interest me in the slightest. We have another series of Big Brother to put up with starting tomorrow (i think). Again, I don't know that many people who watch that. Currently we've got some crap called Celebrity Love Island showing. I switched over to it for about 2 minutes and didn't see any celebrities. and don't get me started on Celebrity Wrestling...

People get to vote on who wins. That makes them feel like they are involved and gives them an emotional attatchment to the show. When their guy wins they feel like they win. I think I'm the only person in America who has never seen one episode of the show.

That is a most accurate description of the Presidential election.
