Get me outta here.

Hey, don’t be so annoyed. We rub shoulders with them all the time. In the jeepney, in the bus and at UST for the population of people like this is alarmingly high in this age of television and insipid showbiz reports.

Now you might be asking, who’s he talking about this time? Well it’s this person affected with the inverse rearview mirror disorder, which will be explained tomorrow. Basically they are those who look on and meddle with the lives of other people in order to feel involved and be entertained, with or without the consent and/or approval of the persons whose lives are messed with.

Ah yes, the products of too much TV and showbiz idealism. If we would look at the collective traits of these people, we would find out that these people live for gossip, talking about other people’s lives as if it were their own. It seems that their lives lack the necessary complications in order to make it interesting and thus, they follow the lives of those people who lead a more complicated life than their own.

A look at the audience share of that popular idiotic show Pinoy Big Brother shows that in the R.P., there is a large population of these kinds of people. Why the Big Brother? Because the main concept is this: we show you the lives of these people for 24 hours a day for a span of a few weeks.

What then is the idea behind this, the thing that the producers are feeding to the audience of this successfully idiotic show? Basically it’s voyeuristic entertainment. For those people who have no life of their own, it follows that they have a lot of time on their hands. Their life, being nonexistent, lacks the substance that the human psyche needs so they turn to these reality shows in their craving for excitement and substance.

Actually, reality shows defy their own meaning. The mere fact that the people they show are interesting/gorgeous enough to be on TV shows that these reality shows occupy a different reality other than this one. But that’s beside the point. Going back to the point, the producers sells the viewers of Big Brother sells them the delusion and the lives of the people featured on the so-called reality television. The lives of the viewers are sometimes sooooo boring that they turn to other people’s life for excitement and variation in their daily routine.

The paragraph above is the meat of these last 4 paragraphs. So to the unfortunate reader, we want to extend our apologies for the digression. It was a practical joke. Really (laughter infront of the monitor).

Going back to the main topic (which I almost forgot) as opened by the first two paragraphs, there is this person whose presence greatly annoys me. She is a pest. Now for the purposes of identification, we shall call her “The Princess of the Inverse Rearview Mirror Disorder People” or the PIRMDP.

Yes! She not only has no life but she is the princess of the inverse rearview disorder people! It runs in their DNA! What an annoying combination!

Well, that piece of self gratifying insult aside, we move on to say that she had meddled with my life in a way that is utterly unacceptable. Not only did she affect me but she managed, in the process, to muddle up other people’s lives. I, naturally, will take responsibility to the annoyance and anger that she caused this people for it is my garbage (or treasure, depending on which way you will look at it) that she, the PIRMDP, has exposed. This garbage (or treasure) is causing the said mess in the life of the other people mentioned. But the point is that her meddling in my private affairs causes my pain and others as well.

Her presence thus, must be done away with. She will get hell tomorrow.
