'Totally unaware'- read on

Does so-called beauty(literally translated to mini clothing and wannabe behaviour) actually attract more viewers than general knowledge? If yes, that is really pathetic. Skinny dipping, crying, hugging, ranting, gossiping, slander and being fake seems to be the 'IT' thing these days. In such shows(I'm not naming the one), the most shocking thing is that a person, aged more than fifteen, answers that there are nine continents in the world, and that America is on the western frontier of India. Whatever happened to the history we learnt, and the geography we learnt when we were eight? Something as basic as these were sectioned into the 'brain' category, and hey, the brain category smartie has given this answer. Yeah, yet these attract TRP ratings, because you can see the make up sets and tubes of lip gloss open, the water tap of the eye leaking at all times, consoling just so that people know you exist, clothes which are designed to only explain the human anatomy, to put in more mildly. All those quizzes which involved asking such excellent questions are just for the 'nerds'. Nerds are not nerds, they are intellectuals. For whoever who disrespects them, everytime they open Facebook, its a 'nerd's creation. Everytime their mobile goes 'beep', it's a nerd's creation. Yet people have the 'smarts' to say that they rock, when the whole world is running on banks, structures, offices, administration and all that. Things like 'nine continents' in the world are exasperating, and yeah, the extra two does exist in the heads of those(I'm not commenting on the likes), so vast, so huge, but just totally empty. People really have lost their sense of taste(did they really have it?) Federer v/s Roddick held no interest among the majority, but other simultaneous shows on TV did. Federer clinched his 15th Grand Slam trophy(yeaaaaaaaaah Roger Federer!), and Roddick inched neck-to-neck till the finish.
People think it's cool to be dumb, hence they act dumb. They never realize that by acting dumb, they actually become dumb, and when the 'smarts' are required for winning competitions that require you to spread malice among your contestants, and when the hosts act really indifferent, the brain never really works.
Most importantly, it is damn 'uncool' to be dumb, and not know basic stuff. No one, yeah, no one is born dumb. We have to be smart- academically, or non-academically, or in sports, or in extra-curriculars, or atleast knowing whom to sugar-coat and where to be nice. It's a fact, but even in negative things, or things not liked by many, the people who do it well, are the people who have the 'smarts'. Period.

Think about all this. Watching tennis or badminton even without knowing the rules of the game, does inspire you, but you don't realise it. You just feel that a ball or a shuttle cock is being passed about. Programmes like (you're getting the point) them really cull out feelings of gray, envy and a disgusting want. You don't realise that too. You realise the glitz and the glamour. We always bother to look for the things that we realise, but the things that you do not realise, are the ones, which, you ultimately will realize.Trust me:-)
