REALITY TV: ODDLY ENOUGH, ITS KINDA "POST-HUMAN," YA KNOW?

Joseph Lindsey at Big Hollywood:

Television long ago brought something to the world that should never have been mixed: entertainment and reality. Because the moment you stick a camera in the face of reality, the reality gets lost. What you end up with is the ability for a camera to be on while a human being sheds all traces of its shame. That place where one openly cowers in a passive emotion while being in a public place.

I've always been creeped out by these shows but never really thought about what exactly it is that is so creepy. This article explains it.
