I am a guy. As a guy, i must put up with the bane of most men: Home decoration shows. it is not that i wish to watch the shows, but I am a teenager who is forced to live with a controlling and easily angered mother. If i try and get her to change the channel i get yelled at and that ruins about an hour of my day (she yells for a long time, even if i've stopped listening, caring, or am not even occupying the same room). There is no place in my house where i can get away from the damn shows. My mother cannot hear well and turns the TV up really loud so i can't escape it no matter where i am in the house. Usually, i can just go to a friends house. but in the morning, when i am most annoyed and pissed off about everything, i tend to get very angry at the fact that i have to sit there and listen to it. It was okay with just having to listen to trading spaces, i could deal with it. but now they have Trading Spaces, What not to Wear, While you were out, Designer Rivals, and other such shows. Now they have created Trading Spouses and the soon-to-be-aired Wife Swap! WTF?! can't they give it a rest!? HOW FAR ARE THEY GOING TO TAKE IT?! I assume that TV stations (especially TLC) will push it until most human male's explode.

I think they're willing to take it up to the federal government...

Tonight on "Trading National Leaders," we swap President George W. Bush with the Canadian Prime Minister, who is still nameless to most Americans to this day! Will America crumble under the taxes? Will Canada cause the next World War? Tonight at 11, on Fox 11!

hehe, They'd only do that if america wanted dubya back alive! it just so happens that I'm canadian.

I wouldn't mind these shows is they weren't so damned yuppy-ish. I was forced to watch part of one of those shows, I don't recall which and don't care, but I noticed that the competition was between a Yellow Team and Lavender Team. What happened to good old fashioned blue? I mean, they can call the teams whatever they want but lavender just sounds so...yuppy, so...gay.
