Man soap operas
There's a booming business in these shows. They purport to be about something else; like restoring motorcycles, cars or semis. Or building or renovating houses, or other "manly" pursuits. But what they end up being about is the drama queens that are doing the work. Hissy fits galore, angst...they've got it all.

M. is hooked on Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch." I watch some of them with him. Basically those psychos are making giant piles of cash at the deadliest occupation known to man. The conditions are brutal, but of course the Narrator has to hype every detail. It is addictive, basically because they build the suspense. Anyway, I guess I just wanted to let you men know I'm on to you. Those are SOAP OPERAS you're watching!
