Snapshot: Kid Nation

A quick snapshot into what is happening in my life at this very moment:

Currently I am watching an online episode of last nights Kid Nation. "Why am I watching this," I think to myself.

I get really annoyed by kids who think they are adults. Now they have and entire show that requires children to act like adults. Still, I am watching this show.

I watched this show last week, and I got annoyed. I watched the full hour, and made faces and sighed at the ridiculousness. It is now on its second episode and still, I am watching this show.

Then there is the tough kid. The oldest one in the group. He knows everything, and to him everyone else in the town are simply 'kids'. "They are so immature" he thinks to himself. Meanwhile, this is the same kid who is wearing a ski hat in the middle of the desert. Even still, I am watching this show.

They just chopped a chickens head off. This is children of the corn. Some of them are smiling, others are crying. The fifteen year old kid thinks he knows how to prepare a chicken. These kids will all die from a horrible bacteria. Why, oh why, do I continue to watch this show.

There is one kid, who is just really weird. I can't say he's weird, though, because he's just a kid. I like to mock reality TV, and I can't mock this without feeling horrible. But the kid... he's just... he's... ... I need to stop watching this show.

One of the 'Town Council' kids, who decides each week who wins a $20,000 gold star, just made a comment about the fifteen year old kid: "Ever since the first gold star was awarded, (fifteen year old kid) seems to be working a lot harder, and I'm beginning to wonder if it's just because he wants the gold star." Let me put your mind at ease, town council kid--> DUH! I hope that answers your question.

I feel ashamed that I'm still watching this.

Now I see everyone is bundled up. When did it become winter...

What'dya know, the town council kid, who is threatened by the fifteen year old kid, doesn't want to give him the gold star. Golly, didn't see that one coming!

Why is the host an adult? It kind of ruins it. They should have hired Haley Joel whatever his face is. Or at least Gary Coleman or something.

Fifteen year old did not win the gold star... boo hoo. Instead some other kid won it. When asked what he'll do with the money, he said "I think my parents deserve it." Seriously, need I comment further on this one?

Oh no... fifteen year old is angry because he didn't win the star. He's "gonna do something about it." What are you 'gonna do' kid, beat up that 8 year old? Maybe you'll fill their sleeping bags with dirt? Oh, I know, why don't you go pee pee in their water bottle.

The show is over, and I just want you to know that if anyone actually read all of this, you're just as lame as I am for watching it.

PS - check back next week, I'll tell you what the fifteen year old did for revenge!!

Cheers!

kids who act like adults, you would fit right in with that cast.
