Molestation Island

I don't watch reality show by principle, because they're so fake (note the irony).
However, today I read in the papers that some country's version of the program Temptation Island, a woman was practically molested. She was with someone other than her own boyfriend (why would she do that, beats me), and this guy wanted more of her. She didn't return the thought so he got a little annoying. Started touching her in places and things like that. When she pushed him away he actually forced her to kiss him, and after that tried to "pleasure" her with his hands. She slapped him in the face, wrestled herself out of his hold and ran away. Please note, that all of this happened before a camera. In other words; A camera crew (cameraman, soundguy, lightguy) stood and watched while this girl was almost raped. Hello?! Am I the only one who sees the madness in this whole thing? Reality tv shouldn't go much further than that..what's next? A Boeing747 nose-cam while it flies towards Empire State Building? I really wonder what has to happen for people to take action. As far as the girl in the tv show concerns; I'm glad that she didn't get molested, but I think she deserved to be frightened like that. Like I said, I'm against shows like these, but Temptation Island especially. How much confidence do you have in your relationship in the first place if you decide to join this freakshow? You tell me.
The media are greatly responsible for the terrible condition in which humanity is situated currently. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they should censor every little thing. I'm from Holland, so I'm used to stuff. But I do think that, especially reality tv, is adding to the madness.
However..the biggest question of all is; Will you get tempted by what you see? There lies the answer..there lies the truth about whether or not you belong in jail. It's funny..if you think about it..the biggest criminals..cold blooded killers, rapists, abusers, drug dealers, mobsters...they are really the weakest people of us all. Just don't tell them I said that :)
