The Sims Survivor
Bobby writes "Two great pop culture tastes that taste great together -- the TV show Survivor and the computer game Sims. The premise: eight virtual people trapped in a virtual house with limited resources. Instead of winning contests and voting people off, the characters are subjected to the whims of the Sims game -- but you'll still find the requisite scheming and sexual intrigue. Things really heat up in episode four, a robbery spoils the group's fun in a subsequent chapter, and catfights often liven up the action. Who will be the ultimate Sims Survivor? (Quote From Yahoo!)"
You're... PROUD of only watching half an episode of Survivor?
The standards for pride have, it appears, fallen somewhat since I was originally taught the word.
You should have pride if you participated in an AIDS walk and raised money & awareness.
You should be proud if you strictly recycling cans and paper to cut the need for pulling virgin materials into circulation.
You should be proud of yourself if you, through some selfless action, helped someone in need through a difficult period and improved their life markedly.
But this... being PROUD of somehow resisting the urge to watch part of a TV show?
Ridiculous.
