Bad TV Obsession

I have a confession--some days when there is nothing else on, I turn to GEMS TV (channel 233 on Directv) and just sit there and watch for hours. Its not the jewelry, but instead the theatrics of the girls hosting the channel.

I have a degree in communications, concentrating in electronic news and media performance (sounds good, huh--too bad I'm working in insurance; $30k well spent for that degree. Blehk). So I watch this in amazement.


The girls are always so damn chipper, singing little songs or talking in crazy voices. What the HELL. How much do they get paid--really, because I can sit there and act a fool if that is what is expected of me. I can move my hand back and forth and turn on some fake accents in a hurry. And while I'm sitting, watching, its almost like I just can't turn the channel. I'm wondering what kind of silly crap they are going to say or do next. Its like the whole car accident theory--you don't want to be watching but you can't help but look to see what's going on. Ridiculous.....

Check it out---its so damn lame, yet so intriguing. And I promise, you won't even notice the jewelry half the time.
