Really?


Today on Wired I found out that the people behind the LOLcats website will be getting a reality show following them on their day to day. I understand that most "Reality" shows are far from "Reality" and how most of it is manipulated and scripted to some degree but how can a show about people working at a website company be all that exciting.  Is watching office drama you could experience at your own place of employment really all that exciting. Is it just Schadenfreude that people experience  from watching these reality shows. I understand these shows are cheap to make and end up making tier money back and then some. It's just hard to understand what's so entertaining about other people do their normal  or everyday jobs with just some added drama. Or maybe I think may get it now is it just like any other show on TV and the people that watch it want to be these characters or have a trait these characters posses. I don't know; I shouldn't be surprised but yet I still am at what gets approved to be on TV.
