Are we all going to be peeping toms?

December 22nd 2007 02:46

It seems that for numerous people their blog is in a way their diary. The question is why would you think your diary will interest people? Do you lead such an unusual or extraordinary life? But most of all who are these people who read these blogs and why do they do it?
I can't help it to think that they are among the same people that spy on people on the internet.... Well you know these people who put a camera in their room and people come regularly to see what they do. mmmmm..... doesn't that reminds you of numerous TV shows?
Is been a peeping tom becoming so common and acceptable today? well yes if you think you are not on a tree spying on the neighbours but the principle is the same.

So why would we be outraged that somebody spies on a tree or behind the bushes but find that totally normal to spy on people in a loft? And why do we spy on these people? Do they have something exiting, knowledgeable, incredible to share with us? No we just want to see who will fight with whom? maybe sleep or hookup with whom? Or who will do something silly so we can laugh at him? I hear a lot of comments about idols where people watch the first episodes just to laugh at the candidates that are not successful.
So really, even if some people say that it is the dream that anybody can become a star, don't you think that the peeping and gossiping seems to be more what motivates us?
In the beginning as a lot of people I thought that this would be a phase. Why would these reality shows survive? They offer nothing. They are not really entertaining. They all look alike. Sometimes they are degrading.
But apparently they are surviving really well.
So are we all happy being peeping toms and gossipers?
