Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

What the hell is with these reality shows? "Breaking up with Shannon Dougherty"?!

Okay, so I was bored and left the tv on while I did some stuff around the house. Plus I was curious. Please, America, tell me - why is this show on? What the hell is wrong with people!?

Here's the premise, in case you don't know. Shannon "Jobless" Dougherty is the "hostess" of a show where she'll break up with someone for you. It could be your bf/gf, it could be a friend you don't want to be around anymore. The point is, she'll gladly do your dirty work for you.

How spineless do you have to be to get on this show? If you're willing to go through the effort of contacting the show, setting up the "sting", and going on national television...just break up with him/her, and get it over with!!

Seriously folks, I'm calling bullshit on this one. This one girl, she decided she'd had enough of her slacker no-goal boyfriend. She's on the up and up, ready to take on the world, and she's tired of his Shaggy-imitatin', scooby-snak eating worthless ass. Okay I'm with that, no problem.

So why drag him on television to humiliate him in public? Lemme ask you this, chicky - if you looooooooove him so much, if he's otherwise a good person who you want to keep as a friend...then why the fuck would you set him up on a tv show so all his friends can see what a drop-kicked loser he is? How cruel do you have to be, to do that to someone you claim to care about but just don't want to be together with anymore?

Holy shit. Not to say some of these people don't deserve it, like the "playah" whose girlfriend lived in a different city and he was stepping out on her with another girl, who incidently he was living with. The guy blew off being dumped, pretty much admitting it's all a game to him, even hitting on Shannon AFTER his gf left crying. Total jackass, right?

But let's go back to the beginning of the show, when the girl was asked why she's doing this on television instead of doing it herself. Her answer?

"It'll be fun!"

?!?!?

Sorry babe, but somehow I'm just not feeling sorry for you.

Someone cancel this show. Please.
