Hole in the Wall

Has anyone seen this show? And does anyone absolutely think that the world has gone bonkers thinking that this show is actually entertaining?

It opens stating that the 'the greatest show around the world' has finally come to the United States or something to that matter. Supposedly, it has been highly anticipated. Did I miss something? The contestants wear shiny silver suits that are the least becoming, rather than resemble a bad 80's video. The object is to fit through a cut out opening in a moving wall before being knocked off into bright green water. Yeah....real interesting. I could barely keep my eyes away from the TV. The most incredible part, the TV screen flashes with the words 'NOT CLEARED' when someone doesn't make it through the wall. You've gotta be kidding! This is when I decided to change the channel.

I think if this show had any appeal at all to audiences as a Japanese show, it was because they were making fun of the idiots participating in it and the commentating that took place over it, not the actual show itself. The worse part, there's a woman named Brook(e) that co-hosts the show. She's doing the Brook(e)'s around the world such a disservice.

It completely reminds me of that stupid movie 'Idiocracy' (no really it's a movie about what the world would be like if only stupid people populated the earth- intelligent folks stop reproducing). This new show definitely gives you the feeling we have already reached that point on some level! I feel like the television is so mindless these days, that it scares me to think of what will be on it in 5, 10, 15, even 20 years.

Of course, by then we will be walking around with our computer connected to glass lenses and the television will most likely be a thing of the past. Unless we're too stupid to invent something that intelligent. Which is also a big possibility at the rate we're going....but, let's hope not.
