There goes the neighborhood

I'm sitting in my room with my telly on full blast. My mum sits on the floor, with her jaw on the floor. The serials she watches drive me to distraction, and i know there's nothing i can do about it. I try and see whats there to like about all this, and i cannot last more than 5 minutes. The hyper dramatic zooms and pans make me dizzy, and the all too over the top soundtrack makes me envy the hearing impaired. The women and their garish whore like makeup, the insignificant men and their rosy cheeks, the daft-as-rocks kids, the pseudo intelligent elders...how on earth is shit like this on air?!
what aspirations do they project?the sprawling bungalows?the 2 tonnes of jewelry per person?the costumes?the exciting lives?The bungalows are rented,and purpose built sets, and often have 3 or 4 production companies shooting in different rooms simultaneously, the jewelry is plastic...so there.
And the soundtrack, lets see, close your eyes and listen to what's going on,try and figure out what happens. here's what happens:
