I have to say out of all the essays I've read, this is one really made me laugh. Chuck Klosterman sort of zoomed in on some of the factors of The Real world. I agree with this essay 100 percent. I believe everyone has either seen or heard of the show The Real World.
This piece seemed so real and down to earth. I think that it had a very bland and keen way of showing what I believe most people think about the show. The cast in The Real World all seem to be the same. It's true they all have their own personalities but when it comes down to it, is it really them or what they portray to the cameras?
Another point Chuck Klosterman made was the fact that people actually began to sort of mimic the show. One of the cast members could be in a situation and react a certain way. Later on the individual might use that same agility later on in their own personal lives. A example of that is when he's drinking with the two girls, and while they were drinking they discussed about how they would confront another roommate about her abrasive behavior. It made me laugh but I had to agree with him when he said "who makes plans to confront, a roommate?" Seriously, who really does that?
