When did I become a sucker?

So, it was cool to watch reality TV when it first hit the airwaves. Lately, it has become a stupid guilty pleasure. When did I become a sucker for the over marketed, over publicized, over produced, completely useless television shows. I have watched America's Next Top Model, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, the Bachelor, and many others that I am too ashamed to name. What happened to my values, my principles? They are gone with every other cleverly written sitcom. I admit that I have been brainwashed and suckered in just like the rest of the nation. I feel so ashamed. I need to go update my Facebook and MySpace now.
