Dancing with the Stars

What is this abomination? I feel as the Dreaded 30 approaches that I've managed to move past the shitty snobbery & elitism afforded to crazy youngsters who think they are cooler than everybody else. This was a banner year in Midterms. Some of my faith in the U.S. citizenry was restored. BUT! the popularity of Dancing with the Stars grabs ahold of me late at night & makes me shiver for the future of the U.S. I don't think starfucking is a strictly US pasttime. I mean, England is really afflicted. I totally get the blah blah blah psychology of the issue-- they are Rich! Beautiful! Glamourous! The rest of us are not all of those things... or any of those things, really. What confuses me is trying to understand the formula that makes these shows successful. What is appealing? Is it the dancing? Does it remind the MILLIONS of people who watch it of Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers? I get it. Ballroom dancing is hard. If I must be force-fed the reality show glut these days, I would much rather watch average people lose weight than overpaid & undertalented folks get more of a suck -off.

Also, please tell me why I can't unsubscribe to ABC network emails? I am shot out with a heavy dose of rage every time I log into my hotmail account. Wait, just tell me why they even have my email? Is there anything good to watch on ABC?
