Surreal Life 4

The episode where the model brands a baby calf and everyone else gets all pissed was pretty entertaining. Mini Me being drunk is entertaining. Chyna being completely nuts is pretty entertaining. I think this show is pretty damn funny. VH1 is starting to become a pretty cool channel, when did this happen?

Hard not to watch + willingly spending your time doing it = entertainment

I saw a the aftermath of a car crash while driving home from the gym yesterday ... it didn't look like anyone as hurt, just a few banged up cars.

 

I literally stared at the cars while driving by (hard not to watch) and pretty much made the conscious decision to spend the time looking at it ... does that make a car crash entertaining?

 

No. Something has to be, I don't know, entertaining to be classified as entertainment to me.

Hold up one second. How the fuck are you going to tell me what can and can't be entertaining to me?

I bolded some words to reiterate whose definition of entertainment I was describing. (Let me know if it's still confusing to you.)

 

Also, couldn't I ask:

Hold up one second. How the fuck are you going to tell me what can and can't be entertaining to me?

 

after you said:

Hard not to watch + willingly spending your time doing it = entertainment

 

I'd already said that they don't entertain me, and yet you responded with "proof" that they are. So, I'll throw the question right back at you ... How the fuck are you going to tell me what can and can't be entertaining to me?

You asking me a question and questioning my tastes:

 

How could you have found those two idiots entertaining?

 

Me answering:

 

Somebody must have since they have a spin-off show.

 

Someone who doesn't like the show telling someone who likes the show why people like the show:

 

I think that people watch because Flav & Bridgette are a pair of train-wrecks, not because they're entertaining. Kind of like the Osbournes or Anna Nicole ... not entertaining, but hard-not-to-watch because they're so banged up

 

Someone who likes the show saying why he likes the show:

 

Hard not to watch + willingly spending your time doing it = entertainment

 

You telling me why it's wrong to you for people to like the show:

 

I saw a the aftermath of a car crash while driving home from the gym yesterday ... it didn't look like anyone as hurt, just a few banged up cars.

My response:

You being a smug, condescending asshole who thought he proved a point:

 

(Let me know if it's still confusing to you.)

 

I'd already said that they don't entertain me, and yet you responded with "proof" that they are.

 

I didn't say jackshit about it being entertaining to you. I didn't mention you or say anything about you until the last post so why not shut the fuck up now?

 

So, I'll throw the question right back at you ... How the fuck are you going to tell me what can and can't be entertaining to me?

 

I never asked you what you liked or why you liked it. You asked me and I told you.

pinnacle, it's obvious that you and I obviously have very different tastes in entertainment, not to mention different definitions of the actual word 'entertainment'. At no point was my plan or hope to have you actually explain why you found them entertaining; my original question was a rhetorical question that probably should have been "how can anyone find those two idiots entertaining?" rather than a seemingly personal directive.

 

Feel free to like them, and their show. Feel free to think that I was telling you what you can and can't be entertaining to you. And feel free to consider me a smug, condescending asshole who thought he proved a point. I really couldn't care less about any of the above.

 

Different strokes for different folks, as they say.

The next episode looks kind of funny, with Verne crying when they get their massages. Anybody know how long this show is going to be on? I think the last one was on for a few months.
