First, I don't believe I would get many people to refute the idea that America has become the most frivolous country in the world. Frivolous, meaning light-minded, trivial, is the perfect adjective to describe the modern American mindset. Just pick up the remote to one of your personal frivolous machines. Start in the morning to get your dose of wake-up fluff. On one channel the lead story will feature some cavorting with has-beens aging celebs who couldn't perform due to an ingrown toe-nail. Quickly flick the remote to another network and listen to the sobs of someone who couldn't lose enough weight on the latest fat/thin extravaganza. Plenty of tears and emotional angst here. Or how about what troll-like person surprised America with a voice totally contrary to their appearance. For your evening fare who doesn't enjoy some grown mama's boy crying over rejection on I Dated a Trollop. Just go to cable or satellite TV you say. Well I must admit a show about someone with an addiction to eating bathroom cleanser or people living in rental homes infested with meal worms does have its appeal. I think I'll pass. This brings us to the frivolous fetish for eating only armadillo road kill might just win you your own reality show. Provided you dress like a Prussian general.
