Why Do We Trust Them?

You know I have been wondering lately about something and perhaps some of you can help me with this. Why do we trust Hollywood celebrities about anything? From their product endorsements to their political endorsements? 


Let's face it friends, we don't know these people or what their real motives might be when they tell you what they think is the best thing for you. Now as far as politics, Hollyweird has always back the liberal democrat, which perhaps explains the terrible state that California is in as they are virtually bankrupt.


But not only politics, why should we believe them about anything? What gives them the all powerful knowledge that we must not possess? Would you like my opinion on that (after all that's the title of the blog)? We give them that power by believe them just because they have money and fame, they have no other credentials. 


So just remember when George Clooney, Angelina Jolie, or Sean Penn try to sell you something ( be it a product or their political beliefs) that this is simply their opinion, do yourself a favor and form your own opinions   . As for this post, well, this only Bob's opinion. 

Pawn Stars

I have been sitting here, watching Pawn Stars, and enjoying it I might add. I really never thought that I would enjoy "reality tv", but apparently, I was wrong. Now like I've said in earlier posts, I know that most of this is scripted. 


Let's look at it, Chumlee, of course, is going to be everyone's favorite buffoon as he messes up a lot but to make up for this, his character is easy to love. and then you have the old man, terrible actor, but that's what makes him funny. Rick and Corey are the father and son foil. Now you can see how bad all of the acting is, but I believe that this is the charm of the show.


Also, it's fun to watch people bring in unique things from history. Check this one out friends, I recommend it, but then that's only my opinion.

Auction Hunters

Well the next "reality" television show that I would like to recommend (and not because it actually is reality but because it's just plain entertaining). I have been enjoying Auction Hunters lately, now I know that they only show the good finds and it's hard telling how many units they buy before actually getting a good one, but it's fun to watch them find something that is worth a bit or has historical significance.


Now when you listen to the guys narrate, while they show them looking through and discussing what their hopes are for that particular storage unit. This isn't what I would call an exciting show by any means, but it's fun, and isn't that what entertainment is all about? But then this is only Bob's opinion, what's yours?

Hardcore Pawn

Well friends, (sorry it has been so long since I've posted, but I am a new father and my lawn service just kicked in for the season. I promise, I will do better) I have done something that I said I would never do, and that is, I am starting to get into a few "reality" shows. 


I guess I will simply do a post on each on that I am doing, so this one will be on Hardcore Pawn. Now, I know that these shows are scripted and this one is easier to see through the most, but dog gonnit, it's entertaining! My wife doesn't appreciate some of the language that is used (well to be honest, she doesn't like any of the foul language used) but as long as it's censored, I figure, what the heck?


I watch the show to see the items that are brought in to sell or pawn, but lets face it, the scripted arguments between the family members is an added bonus. I would recommend this show for you just to check out, you may not like it or it may be a guilty pleasure that you might enjoy.
