Another reason to hate reality TV
Here is one of the latest shows to pop up on UK TV. Get a bunch of boy racers and turn them into rally car racers in attempt to get them off the streets endangering fellow human beings. A worthy endeavour methinks. Not really. These boys will not be punished. They go out at night when the roads are quiet (and visibility poor) and race each other. Now I don't care if THEY crash and burn, but what about people's cats, drunk folks round corners, even folks just not fully alert coming back from the 24-7 store who may just get in front of these speeding bastards; what about other night traffic. It's fucking illegal and so they should be punished... but no instead people make money with a stupid TV show where punishment is out the window, in fact reward is given... letting them play with nifty rally cars instead. OK fair enough introduce them to rally cars on tracks in order to try and sort them out, but first a good kicking and a prison sentence is in order.
