If I were a housewife, whatever that is, I would sue the creators of Real Housewives of New York (and New Jersey, Atlanta, D.C., L.A., and a soon-to-be-announced small town version, Podunk) for slander, libel, defamation of character and conduct unbecoming a housewife.

If I were a housewife, whatever that is, I would sue the creators of Real Housewives of New York (and New Jersey, Atlanta, D.C., L.A., and a soon-to-be-announced small town version, Podunk) for slander, libel, defamation of character and conduct unbecoming a housewife.
I guess I don’t travel in the right circles because these are unlike any American women I know.
And these shows sully the well-earned reputations of every housewife in America.
Where do they find these women? Ads on Craigslist?
Wanted: Women who are self-absorbed, self-important, vacuous, shallow, self-centered, petty and catty. Must be mostly rich through marriage and divorce. Should spend your days getting boozed up. We’re looking for women with breast enhancements who wear tight jeans or fancy dresses with spiked heels day or night regardless of body type. Must spend most of your time planning parties with themes, going to parties with themes, and fighting at parties with themes. Must like to argue, take sides and talk behind friends’ backs and sometimes to their faces. We’re looking for women who have no jobs, never clean the house or shop for groceries. Women who have socially redeeming characteristics, take up social causes, or are concerned about the economy, wars or the human condition need not apply.
And pity the poor guys unfortunate enough to be married to one of these housewives.
We rarely see them as they’re probably working eight days a week to finance the plastic surgeries and shopping sprees for new homes, new cars, clothes and jewelry.
Maybe they should have their own reality show, The Wimps Married to the Real Housewives.
And what about their children? Surely, some child protection agency should step in to keep this vicious cycle from repeating itself.
And now comes a new reality show from VH1, Atlanta Exes, that focuses on the once-significant others of an elite list of A-list men you may or may not have heard of, and how they’re dealing with life without the perks and privileges that come with semi-celebrity marriages.
How do they cope? Some have to stoop to working. One started her own business creating custom bedazzled hookah pipes.
You wonder if some people around the world are watching these shows and thinking it’s a real depiction of what American women are like!
There are few shows on TV that deserve to be fodder for parody that these supposed reality shows. Saturday Night Live thinks so.
And now thanks to a new show available on Hulu, Hot Wives of Orlando, it’s hard to tell which show is the parody and which is the reality show.
Don’t believe me, take a quiz to see if you can tell.
Watching this show, you don’t have to feel guilty laughing at the outrageous characters.
They all consider themselves trophy wives or suffer from hotwiveswannabees.
They shop at stores called Whore and throw Ho and Pimp parties.
These actresses portray women who seem more real and honest than any of the other women on the other reality shows. Certainly more funny and likable.
And viewers are loving the shows.
OK. i thought it was HILARIOUS. this is beyond parody, that’s why it’s so funny. They are all a conglomeration of the women from the real reality shows times 100!! DO NOT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!! lol
Finally, a really funny parody of those dumb “reality” shows. The writing is sharp and so many laugh out loud moments. I recommend watching it twice to catch some funny background moments. Well done Hulu!
