No comments? But this is brilliant.

This song is sung in two voices. Firstly the bemused reality TV star, secondly in the middle section the voice of the reality TV watcher, or consumer. The finally back to the TV person, castigating the watcher for their voyeurism.

In some ways it is a bit disingenuous because a reality TV participant knows what they are getting into, unless they are particularly thick. But I prefer to see it as a commentary on how far social media has pushed back boundaries so that even minor flaws are picked over with the benefit in internet anonymity to a degree that goes beyond rude. Say it to my face.
