Well, we are into season 8 of the one of the famous reality TV show "ROADIES".I hope you guys are well aware of what is on offer in similar shows on various other youth channels.I have mixed feelings about it like most of us but herein i would point out why we should not emulate the contents of these shows while i leave it on you to reflect on the other side of the debate.Let me KISS (keep it short and simple) my views:
1) Using SLANGS is considered the ideal mode of communication.
2) Not having a friend of opposite sex is being dumb.
3) Taking pange-shange is being adventurous.
4) If one can play dirty politics and is efficient at bitching others,he is THE GOD here.
5) Gals r mere tools of the obvious pornography on display.
6) Commitment in a relationship is just a time-waste which locks an individual's freedom.
7) Love is just a game and a garb under which true colours could be shown.
8) Sex is a hot cake which is in huge demand
Let me assure that i do not boast of highly ethical values but, most certainly, I am not a fool not to see through the scripted plots that are so wonderfully played out before the innocent youths just for TRP's. No doubt the shows are famous but at the same time they also reflect the bad taste that we possess when it comes to entertainment.Even i am finding it paradoxical while writing this blog as i have been following this show for over 4 years now but the fact that the huge support of which such shows are proud of is based on such loose ethics.It really hurts to see that anything cheap becomes overhyped with time in india and the smart show-makers know it really well.Now it is your turn my friends to comment on why should we emulate such shows in our lives with proper logistics behind.Thank you..!!
Dear Ankur,
ReplyDeleteIt was very exciting to read your first post on the blog.
I agree with your view that today's youth channels are not worth emulating based on the content of their shows but I have a opinion that these channels or any other category of channels (eg family, mythological) are not meant for emulation. They are meant for public entertainment and hence should be treated as thus. These channels only reflect what type of entertainment is enjoyed by our youth. In my view, it is not public who get emulated by these shows , but actually these shows derive their contents from the society. Hope you agree with my viewpoint.
