Re-writing Prose's Prose

Reality TV is a parody of the democratic society we live in and of ourselves. It's a showcase of social darwanism on display for TV watchers across the country every night of the week. Beyond simply being a passive form of entertainment, reality TV affects its viewers in the way they percieve ordinary situations--creating a false sense of a competition where there can only be one winner. Viewers learn that the only way to make it is to look out for oneself and to trust nobody. It's straight out of Hobbes.
