Report Inappropriate Comments

I must completely agree with babysladkaya's comments. These so-called reality shows are all about ratings, not a truthful portrayal of real day-to-day events in the lives of real people (in this case - young Long Islanders). They exaggerate the negative stereotypes of a certain ethnic group, in order to maintain a high level of shock value, and keep the viewers watching and waiting for more content to laugh and "gasp!" at. They are, in some way, similar to watching videos of horrendous car accidents: terrible things are happening, yet one is unable to take his/her eyes off the screen. Personally, I feel that this show genre (Princesses LI, Russian Dolls, Jersey Shore, etc.) are not much more than "airtime pollution", as they promote negative stereotypes and have zero educational entertainment value.
