Archbishop Chaput has a long article on disability that includes this paragraph.
Yeah, our TV is full of this garbage...the bad news is that some folks overseas watching American TV might thinks that Jersey shore is reality TV.We live in a culture where our marketers and entertainment media compulsively mislead us about the sustainability of youth, the indignity of old age, the avoidance of suffering, the denial of death, the nature of real beauty, the impermanence of every human love, the oppressiveness of children and family, the silliness of virtue, and the cynicism of religious faith.
It’s a culture of fantasy, selfishness, sexual confusion, and illness that we’ve brought upon ourselves. And we’ve done it by misusing the freedom that other—and greater—generations than our own worked for, bled for, and bequeathed to our safekeeping.
It makes one happy that "dirty jobs" is showing the other side of the picture.
