Boycott Kid Nation

Before reading this post, you should check out ABC News: World News Tonight's news story about Kid Nation here.

I have no idea what CBS was thinking when they were funding this reality TV series, but I personally think that this media company is out of their minds. What are they thinking? Do they think viewers will be entertained by the of reality television craziness of children? The producer (Or who ever is behind the show) is calling this show an experiment, but I certainly see this experiment as a failure in ethics; exploiting the children for entertainment value without not letting the children truly understand whatever they do will be broadcasted to millions of homes is categorically evil to say the least.

I am going to boycott this show, and if I have to, any CBS productions during the duration of this reality series. If they think they can get a dime of profit from this exploitative entertainment, then they already lost a viewer. 

 

Announcements

I do a lot of reading for school and for personal enjoyment. In the coming weeks, I will feature some of the books that I am currently reading as I concentrate on writing less "Internet-related" topics.
