10 Media Things I'm Embarrassed To Admit That I Like

Since I started with a Top 5 list during the previous post, I've decided to include one more "list inspired" post. As I was watching TV tonight and grinding my teeth while thinking about my crappy day at work, I caught something that I felt stupid for liking. That led to this post. So, without further ado, here are the Top 10 media things I am embarrassed to admit I like:

1. Reality TV - No matter what I do, I always catch myself watching it. One time when I was sick, I think I caught myself watching a BRAVO marathon. YEEACH!
   
2. Mac vs. PC commercials - I can't tell you why. I own a PC. I just bought another PC when my old one died on me. The commercials are lame, predictable and not even funny any more, yet I find myself staring at the television as if we had landed on Mars and it was being broadcast.
3. Since we're on the topic of commercials - That "freeeeeeee credit, report dot com..." commercial with the guys singing a catchy jingle while in pirate suits or driving a hoopty.
4. Stupid, potty-humor, "youth get into trouble" movies like "American Pie, National Lampoons, Harold & Kumar, Superbad, Porky's", etc. If they include gratuitous nudity like the older movies, it gets a pre-teen two thumbs up from me! They just make me laugh.
5. BBC America - I must have been a Briton in my former life. From BBC News to Coupling to That Mitchel & Webb and Little Briton, I seem to be obsessed with it. I think I watched too many episodes of Whose Line Is It Anyway when cable 1st became available to me...
6. Viral Videos - I spend way too much time looking at stuff on You Tube, Break and other video sites.
7. Documentaries and/or movies about third world countries. I don't know why. Maybe because I've never been there.
8. The Tabloids - It seems every time I go to the deli to get a sandwich, someone has moved the date of The Apocalypse back a few months...
9. Anything with Asian Chicks...no comment...
10. Un-PC Correct 80s movies - The Jerk, Coming To America, Soul Man, Porky's, Revenge of the Nerds, etc (you get the point). There is something funny about making fun of our differences and I don't see anything wrong with it in this context. You couldn't film movies like this today without having a protest in front of the studio.

Well, that's my 10. Feel free to post yours...
