Maybe I shouldn't have started this blog now, not with everything that's been going on.

Watching "The Office" is like watching "Perfect Strangers" or Ross on "Friends".

You see this guy doing all these embarassing things all in the name of being liked more, when in fact it just alienates him more from the people.

It's funny for some to watch (or not funny to others, but like a train wreck, you can't look away) but if you know someone like that, it's no joke to have to deal with that person on an extended basis.

At least with TV or DVDs, you can turn it off, or fast forward to the parts you are hanging on the the series for, like Balki or the romance.

I guess in a way it's more realistic storytelling, because these people in those shows aren't treated like stereotypical bad guys.

But in a way it's sad because they don't grow in the series, and they remain in that one note that has gotten people to watch them.

And sometimes they are even given better circumstances despite their social disability, such as an attractive girlfriend, which I guess also could happen in real life, but it doesn't mean that they deserve it, or that their significant other is also as perfect as they are shown. I mean, they have to have some flaw that they can't see what's wrong with the person they are coupled with, or at least be able to subtly (if not intentionally) influence them to become better.

So that's bad in that people watching and looking up to these characters because they identify with them think that there's also hope for them to have something that others will envy, or at least make them be willing to hang around with them.

But that doesn't mean I won't go that route of writing one day if I need to vent about some of these short sighted fools around me.

Session 2213 bares a lot of politically incorrect biases on this post. Class dismissed.
