Now don't get all excited, I'm not talking about Survivor, Celebrity Apprentice or Keeping up with the Kardashian's; I'm talking more along the lines of slightly less scripted shows. If it's supposed to be reality TV, why the heck do all of the logos and product names get blurred out?
Extreme Couponing is an example - why when they are showing the crazy-ass rooms full of products that the people have do they have to face all of the labels away? I don't know if it's more because the producers of the shows don't want to give free advertising to the companies or if the companies are worried about their product being shown in a less than flattering light. The world is filled with logos, children can recognize hundreds of them by the time they enter elementary school, why do we blur them out exactly?
There are renovation shows that blur out the word Tyvek from the house wrap - it just makes the show hard to watch. Or the DeWalt is blurred on the side of the power tools. Seriously, what is real about any of these programs.
Okay, end rant.
