"I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!"

[Gandalf]

People that watch reality shows tend to have low iqs, it's been scientifically proven.

Really? .

Well, I would assume that people who watch reality shows are most likely to be sofa dwelling, overweight, numbskulls who read Heat magazine. I could be wrong, but knowing the demographics of the UK I am most likely correct.

Now all I am asking for is a little bit of scientific evidence as my assumptions could very well be very correct.

As a self proclaimed intellect Miles you should be aware that assumption is the mutha of all fcukups, it simply make an ass out of u and me

I am only an intellect of the areas that I profess to know. There is much that is blank for me and so assumptions are the only way to make light of incredibly murky areas such as reality TV.

I don't mind saying silly things sometimes anyway, but I don't see what I have said that is silly here. Research has been done into the relationship between texting and attention spans, so it is natural to assume that some kind of study had been conducted into the relationship between intellect and TV type. Colleges are out of ideas, they will fund anything new.

I don't claim to read every scientific journal nor know everything and so when I hang out on here I assume things and make my views known. It isn't always fact. I was just asking for facts here really.

Most of it is fluff

Miles that is nonsense. I will not stand here and allow you to insult Fluff any longer.

Fluff is probably a person on this show that barbecues cockroaches, sucks her thumb and say 'fuck' a lot. Most likely had 4 top 20 hits a decade ago.

Why people need to watch it is beyond me. It is very dumb and can only describe the demographic of people feeling a need to watch it.

Have you noticed the headlines in the popular media lately? What do you make of this?
1. "Wildly Funny Umpire's Gesture"
2. "Tennis Star's Ugly Comment"
3. "Celeb's Dirty Secret"
4. "Worst Thing to Say to your Boss"
5. "Two Things Your Wife will Never Tell You----Ever!", etc
WTF is going on here? These headlines play to people's morbid, perverted insecurities in a vicarious sort of way. This tells me the human species is very close to extinction.

What do I make of it?

It tells me that people are incredibly stupid and they enjoy nothing more than watching animals in a cage and that is what these programmes are. It is to give incredibly lazy, stupid people something to gloat about after finishing 9 hours doing a job that they know is worthless. What can make you feel better? Watching others suffer even more....

That is reality TV.

Miles, just for me, have a go and watch it, also try x-factor you'll love that show

No, I hate them all. But if you want to indulge then fair enough.

I don't like watching pointless people with no skills be evaluated by other people with no skills and then be able to sell records.

It just highlights the shame for what it is.

It's a good job you don't suffer from vertigo.

Do you know how many scientific journals are out there? How many newspaper rags that pick up on scientific tittle tattle? It is a potential means of research really and I would imagine that my assumptions would be correct, but clearly those would only be hypothetical assumptions. You would need accurate tools and samples to either substantiate or debunk those brilliant deductions.
