Jennifer Aniston slams reality television

Jennifer Aniston has given up watching television because she’s sick of reality TV.

“What happened to a great half-hour sitcom?” she moaned recently.

“It’s all Dancing with the Stars! Knitting with the stars, Building a home with the stars, Living in the homes of stars!”

“And then the ripping people to shreds. Humiliation. Degradation. What is going on? There’s so much instant gratification, and we want it. It’s just bizarre.”

“I don’t watch TV anymore. Nothing. I have no interest in that idol sh*t.

However, she can see the appeal of such entertainment:

“Unfortunately the world is in such a state with this [Iraq] war and everything else that it’s easier to look at the triteness of a celebrity break-ups. It’s like, ‘Ahh, relief.’”

“It’s an escape, rather like a daytime soap opera.”
