Well, the media is like sugar. Without it, the economy turns to crap, society falls apart. But too much of it, and we all become obese lazy bums who do nothing but sit around and complain about how bad everything is and how there are too many commercials and how you can't find the remote.
But it has kind of screwed up our vision of beauty. Like, what we think is beautiful is actually fake, no one could possibly achieve that level of beauty naturally. It takes a constant stream of makeup and a good photoshop program. Back before we had that type of thing, people used to think what we would call average is pretty. In fact, just yesterday, and this is morally sickening, my four year old sister asked me why I wasn't pretty. I asked her who she thinks is pretty, and she went on a little rant about how Miley Cyrus was prettier than me. It was horrible. It's the same way with my cousins. Amanda, six years old, told me that I can only come over on the weekdays because I only look pretty then. (I don't usually put on makeup on the weekends, I'm not seeing anyone, so who cares.) It's really screwed up. But then again, my whole family is kinda jacked. Oh, the glamorous life of the rich. They'll have to go through the reality shock when they get to middle school, just like I did two years ago. It's kinda fun to watch. They like, stomp their feet and scream.
