These shows are targeting the 13-17 yr old crowd - probably female more than male; and probably more middle america-ish. the type of person who is going to put this "california lifestyle" up on a pedestal. i wouldnt call 13-17 yr olds stupid, just very very impressionable.<BR/><BR/>i used to always ask the younger people in my last company who were from out of state: "did you think all of california was going to be like 'the oc'"...and they (male AND female) almost always answered yes.<BR/><BR/>what that tells me is that young people outside of CA are either BUYING the portrayal of what is "real" or just straight up lying to themselves because the TV "reality" is prettier.<BR/><BR/>I think the UK warning is great, its finally starting to tell the truth, and taking responsibility for what is really manipulation of the truth.Nob Hill Forrealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677488443290602256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804086721268117189.post-50836970367291837102008-01-19T21:08:00.000-08:002008-01-19T21:08:00.000-08:00My old comment looked like it was written by a thi...My old comment looked like it was written by a third grader.<BR/><BR/>The point is - do you really think that it is a good thing that the UK television stations display that warning? Are UKers really dim enough to not realize that all of those shows aren't "real?"<BR/><BR/>If you actually think they are, then maybe you should just keep living in your world of naivety and ignorance, although ignorance seems a bit too strong of a word. Let's just go with fucking stupid.Real Emails from Coworkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659154490350094461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4804086721268117189.post-13911555632333116842008-01-19T21:04:00.000-08:002008-01-19T21:04:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Real Emails from Coworkershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659154490350094461noreply@blogger.com
