re: #99 Reverend Mother Ramallo

I’m not horrified by the people so much as I’m disgusted that this is what TLC is passing off as programming.
Couple that with the desire to cut funding for PBS, and we have a serious problem.

I’m mostly discomforted by the exploitation of a number of these reality shows, even if the subjects agree to be exploited for whatever sums of money they probably desperately need. They remind me of that horrid “Queen for a Day” show that ran in the 50s. I remember feeling this same discomfort even as a little bitty kid watching that show. Even then it felt wrong to take advantage of people in dire need for the entertainment of others.
