Hated TV: MTV, Survivor and any other "Reality Shows" (if it were truly about surviving, people would be encouraged to work together, not against each other - talk about Devolving!) Game shows of any kind - who the hell wants to see someone else win money?  Where is the fun in that?  If I won money for vegetating in front of the Idiot Box suffering through these dipshit shows, then I would watch. Favorite Movies: Anything with Laser Guns and everybody dies - I prefer reality. Worst Movies: Drama - Who the hell wants to sit and cry in the theater because some fictitious old lady died?  I don't get it?  How is this entertainment?
