Hannah Hecht's Blog

Out of the three texts, the Cracked article was the one I found the most interesting. Not only did it explore the issues of marriage and plastic surgery, but it also discussed reality TV and its effect on America. It talked about how reality TV celebrates the worst of the worst people. It makes the most ruthless, narcissistic people into celebrities and rewards them simply for being able to “play the game”

Brideoplasty teaches women who are already insecure that they are not good enough and need plastic surgery for their husbands to accept them. This show is a huge step back for women. Instead of having marriage celebrate two people who want to spend their lives together, it changes marriage into a reason for women to change themselves so that they are “good enough” for their husbands. Everything about the Brideoplasty situation is bad enough, but what makes it worse is how people across America will be watching it. Reality TV shows like this teach people all of the wrong lessons.
