I saw the funniest commercial on TV earlier tonight. It’s for a portable device that’s on sale that will amplify the sounds all around you if you are hard of hearing – or if you are really nosy and merely wish to eavesdrop on other peoples’ private conversations from across the street.
CBS-TV announced the new season premieres of two of their venerable reality series today.
The 16TH season of “Survivor” begins at 8 PM EST on Thursday February 07TH 2008. Filming has already wrapped for the upcoming season, and rumours have circulated online that it was done so in the island nation of Palau (the same location as “Survivor 10” during the Spring of 2005).
The 9TH season of “Big Brother” begins at 9 PM EST on Tuesday February 12TH 2008 – nearly 5 months earlier than normal. It’s been a summertime tradition on the CBS prime time schedule since the Summer of 2000, and it’s been promoted to the regular season (due mainly to the lingering Writer’s Guild Of America strike). Just like during the Summer it will air three times per week – on Tuesdays (9 PM), Wednesdays (8 PM), and Sundays (8 PM).
There’s a popular show on the TV Guide Network – “Look-A-Like” – that takes a young lady who sort of resembles a celebrity (usually a pop singer), and gives her a makeover to look even more like that celebrity. These girls are suddenly the likes of Christina Aguilera, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, Celine Dion, Hilary Duff, Alicia Keys, Avril Lavigne, Lindsay Lohan, Madonna, Reba McEntire, Mandy Moore, Alanis Morissette, Shakira, Ashlee Simpson, Britney Spears, and Gwen Stefani.
These girls – and this show – are just a travesty. They are both seriously misguided.
When Our Lord Almighty created us in His own image He did not intend us to look and act like anyone else. He intended each of us to be our own unique self – not to imitate someone else – particularly some superficial role model. There is only one real role model to look up to and love – and that is God himself.
