Reality TV can be knowledgable!

During my Insomnia bouts at night, I turn on my cell or tv to find something boring to watch to lull me back to sleep. As I was flipping through my television guide, I found a show... Kimora, Life in the Fab Lane. I chose this show out of sheer boredom. I actually learned something from this show. Did you know that you cannot have a 53 ft. trailer in Beverly Hills without a permit?? Neither did they! So, I got to thinking... I wonder if I can something knowledgable in all Reality Television. So, I decided to take on this challenge. To find a bit of knowledge in things I watch throughtout my week. Maybe even tune into a different Reality Show and find something educational. So, this week was Kimora. She was kind hearted and gave to charity. Some people think she can be demanding... and yes, she can be, but then again, how can you not be when you are CEO of a multi million dollar company, have a family of 5 (containing two girls who are 7 & 8, a newborn baby boy and a movie star husband). She is self proclaimed Fabulous, and why not. She came from nothing and worked her way to where to she is. We all have some OCD issues, and we all certain likes and dislikes... it just most of us were not raised in a city where you are taught to take off your earrings when you fight... another piece of knowledge I learned in case I am to ever be in a fight!

Well, Tonights tv includes Ghost Hunters International, where I learned that the book, movie and musical of Sweeney Todd was based off an actual Inn in England! In the Hollywood version its a barber who kills people for meat pies. He kills them and the chair opens up to a shute to the lower floor where they "butchered" for meat pies. In the live version, an Inn Keeper would get rich patrons drunk and lure them to a bedroom upstairs where the bed would have a sliding bottom and the bodies would drop down to a hot oil vat. The Inn Keeper would keep all the money and riches the patron had on them. This Inn Keeper had killed they say about 60 people. Evidence of Paranormal activity was inconclusive, as there were personal experiences but nothing on camera... except a few EVP's. The ghost hunters don't like to say a place is haunted unless they have absolute evidence to proove it. So, its quite interesting.

So... off till tomorrow! If anyone has any information on some reality shows, please email me, or message me and I can watch them and list what knowledgable information we can get! Its all about the educational aspect of Reality TV.
