The article was almost as bad as the movie. I found it ironic that the movie that criticizes the TV as being insulated from reality was itself totally void of reality when it comes to life in TV. The director found the 4 most dysfunctional people possible, and did everything in his power to portray TV as a pathetic version of "Gods waiting room". We have lived here for 5 years, and I have never met anyone even remotely similar to the 4 people in his movie. On the the contrary, we have met hundreds of people with varied interests, backgrounds and beliefs, and we manage to get along with a minimum of fuss and drama. I think some people simply feel a need to criticize and tear down, as opposed to creating something positive.
