Addiction to Reality TV

If you have pushed your own life aside to watch reality TV, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. Doctors say it's not as severe as say a cocaine addict, but people still feel the pain.

The Television schedule is such that show finale often happen around the same time. That's deliberate. We saw the finale of "Dancing With the Stars" and "American Idol" last week.

If you can't live without DWTS, maybe it's time to take a ballroom dancing class or Idol fans can hit the right note at karaoke night.

Hopefully, you don't have something awful in your life that requires escapism. If you do, maybe this is the time to explore that.

Not Patrick Swayze's Dirty Dancing

No grinding at winter formal. That's what one Ohio high school principal said. In his opinion, the dance amounts to nothing more than simulated sex and that has no place at school. So, it's back to the awkward 8th grade dance or maybe the students can try ballroom like 'Dancing with the Stars.' That can't be cool. Maybe President Obama struck the right pose at the inaugural youth ball when he described his dance with the first lady as "old school."

Some students are boycotting the dance. If they don't sell enough tickets, the dance could get canceled.

Isn't there a dance that's going to corrupt every generation? Wasn't Elvis supposed to corrupt the youth with his indecent hips?
