This has to be a sign of the appocolapse, or maybe people just suck

Last night I had the unfortunate luck of seeing something on TV that is just too amazingly moronic to not dedicate an entire post to. The show is called Rockband Battle (or something close to that) and it's on (not surprisingly) MTV. And yes, it IS a show based on the video game Rockband. I changed the station after only 2 minutes but what I saw was so ridiculously idiotic that I felt sick, confused, hell I was straight up baffled. For those of you who hopefully never come across this atrocity, I'll tell you a little of what I saw in that 2 minutes.
What I saw was "members/contestants of a "band" (and I use that term very lightly here) practicing their "skills/moves/performances" as they prepare for the big show. This was inter- cut with close ups of these... (I won't say retards because that's not fair to mentally handicapped persons) it was close ups of these complete morons talking about how they just want to go out there and show a crowd what they can do. As if they are actually playing real instruments. The whole band was acting like they were really going to "rock it" on stage. That made me gag. Then some douche bag with a braided goatee walks out and begins to give these fuck-heads pointers on how to really rock a crowd. That was bad but not as bad as seeing RZA from WU-TANG walk out next and couch them on how to take it to the next level. Come on, how far has the WU-TANG really fallen that RZA needs to be involved in this puddle of oozing stupidity. I understand going after a pay check but come on, that may be going a bit too far.
Anyways this "band got on stage and played the video game Rockband in front of an actual audience. No real instruments to be seen anywhere, not to mention the fact that the singer couldn't sing worth shit. I felt stupid just for watching it that long before I turned that shit off. Granted, the "band" on the show is likely to be made up of hack actors and the crowd could have been just a bunch of teen extras, BUT I JUST SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE PUT UP MONEY FOR A SHOW BASED ON THIS CRAP. I really really hope everyone involved in that show has some sort of awful retribution waiting around the corner for them.

Thank god for the remote control.

Cheers.
