THE LITTLEST GROOM
It started with "The Bachelor" and then "Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire". Everybody thought that television and media had gone too far. No one could believe the extents that television stations were sinking in order to increase their ratings. However, both of these shows successfully zombied millions of people into watching the degrading display of how desperate people can be. So last night when I was mindlessly flipping through stations I stumbled upon 10 female "little people" (midgets) fighting for the love and marriage proposal of a male little person. I could not believe what I was seeing and again I thought, "How could TV get anymore degrading". The show seemed like more of a spoof than a reality show. Not only were rating loving producers poking fun at love and companionship but they were bringing in other belittling features. Perhaps what was more surprising was that I kept on watching and almost began to enjoy it until the producers pulled another of their "I can't believe they did that" stunts. Halfway through the show, the host announced that there would be three additional contestants added to win the heart of our littlest bachelor. Out from behind a red velvet curtain walked three beautiful twenty something year olds with rock hard bodies and of normal height and stature. The other female contestants looked at each other in disbelief and you could actually see their confidence level sink below that of an undeveloped teenager. Moreover, if that wasn't bad enough the producers dismissed the little bachelorettes to their room and escorted the three new ladies and the littlest bachelor to a steamy romantic hot tub surrounded by marble pillars and flowers to get to know each other better. Now I was furious at both the producers for airing such a sick display of degrading humor and at myself for giving the show merit by watching it for an hour. The show ended with flashing clips of next week's episode previewing a shower party between the three average sized girls and the delighted little bachor while the other little contestants watched from outside the bathroom. Perhaps this is the most useless pile of crap to overrun the airwaves since the Anna Nicole Smith show but I regret to say that I do have this small underlying curiosity that wants to know whether the littlest bachelor will choose a wife his own size or fulfill his obvious fantasies of being with an average sized girl. Tune in next week.
