Need some work help if you have 5 minutes

heybrad · 07-31-2012, 03:47 PM

I'm being asked to do a fairly stupid object lesson where I need 1 person from 2 different age groups to answer a few questions about reality TV. Here's the age groups I need.

Under 18
18-25

If you fit these categories can you answer these for me? A huge thank you in advance.

What are your hobbies?
What do you consider reality TV?
Give examples of reality TV shows?
Do you watch reality TV?
List shows you watch?
Are their reality shows you won't watch?
Do you like reality TV?
Why or why not?
Do you believe the situations on reality TV are real?
Do you get confused between reality TV and real life?
Do you think reality TV is better than your real life?
Do you think reality TV start are celebrities?
Do you use social media to follow reality TV stars?
If yes, why do you follow them?

Honolulu_Blue · 07-31-2012, 03:52 PM

I was just about to help, but, alas, I am far, far too old to be of use to you.

heybrad · 07-31-2012, 03:55 PM

Do we have anybody on this board under 18? My kids picked the wrong week to go to camp.

PackerFanatic · 07-31-2012, 04:00 PM

I find it kinda sad that I am out of those age groups now...man, I'm getting old.

QuikSand · 07-31-2012, 04:10 PM

Hey Brad.

We're old.

heybrad · 07-31-2012, 04:22 PM

Don't you old people have kids you can ask?

Coffee Warlord · 07-31-2012, 04:24 PM

I asked my son.

He answered, "mine", "im ungwy", "gooooooooo", and "dadadadadada".

Chief Rum · 07-31-2012, 04:26 PM

Physical, mental or emotional age?

JediKooter · 07-31-2012, 04:36 PM

I can't hear you, but, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!

heybrad · 07-31-2012, 04:37 PM

This has turned into a gigantic fail.

JediKooter · 07-31-2012, 05:00 PM

Sorry, I'd help, but, I'm out of those age ranges.

However, in case the age ranges change:
What are your hobbies? Making movies, making music, traveling
What do you consider reality TV? Almost anything that involves non professional actors that isn't a talent show
Give examples of reality TV shows? Survivor, Amazing Race, Anything with 'Real' or 'Housewives' or both, in the title
Do you watch reality TV? Nope
List shows you watch? South Park, Family Guy, Walking Dead
Are their reality shows you won't watch? Yup, all of them
Do you like reality TV? I do not
Why or why not? The 'real' in reality seems to be lacking in most of them and am not into junior high school level drama
Do you believe the situations on reality TV are real? Maybe 20% is real
Do you get confused between reality TV and real life? Nope
Do you think reality TV is better than your real life? Nope
Do you think reality TV start are celebrities? Nope
Do you use social media to follow reality TV stars? Nope
If yes, why do you follow them? N/A

Marc Vaughan · 08-01-2012, 09:51 AM

My daughters answers (seeing as I posted here - I'll change them from mine), she's 18:

What are your hobbies? Reading, fishing, socialising
What do you consider reality TV? Boring fake rubbish which 'pretends' to be real-life
Give examples of reality TV shows? 19 kids and counting, teen mum, big brother
Do you watch reality TV? As rarely as possible
List shows you watch? None
Are their reality shows you won't watch? All of them
Do you like reality TV? Detest it
Why or why not? Its the worst kind of insulting brain dead tripe in existance, short of actually watching someone sitting on a toilet
Do you believe the situations on reality TV are real? Of course not - even if they 'were' having a camera present would corrupt them
Do you get confused between reality TV and real life? Seriously? .... No of course not
Do you think reality TV is better than your real life? No
Do you think reality TV start are celebrities? No, they're 'famous for being famous' however .... which is apparently what counts for celebrity these days, so dunno - don't care tbh
Do you use social media to follow reality TV stars? No
If yes, why do you follow them? N/A

Chief Rum · 08-01-2012, 09:57 AM
