Reality TV has become the leading genre in television recently. Its suppose to contain documentary footage of real people in their natural states living their real lives, but the camera often alters personalities and creates "fake" documentation. Show such as MTV's the Hills has been criticized for be fake and scripted, but by adding a camera into the mix doesn't that create an unreal and unnatural situation in the first place, so no matter what wouldn't "reality" TV be an impossible concept? And do we really care as long as it provides us with entertainment?
