Mega Soaps and Mega Dopes
Basic soap opera storyline.
Day 1: Sam is married to Cynthia. Cynthia loves David.
Day 2: Cynthia divorces Sam and marries David. Sam loves David.
Day 3: Sam has an affair with Cynthia and David lusts after Sam.
Why do people watch such brainless trash? I did my own little survey and came to the following conclusions.
1. People watch soaps to feel good.
When they see that the lives of people on the TV are shittier than theirs, they feel good. Einstien theory of relativity.
2. People watch soaps to get back in touch with reality.
If you watch enough hours of soaps, one tends to stop viewing television after a certain point since TV's are not provided in the psychiatric ward of most hospitals. So you have all the time in the world to get back in touch with reality.
3. Soaps help make the world a safer place.
Imagine if drug lords and Mafia dons spent a large part of the day watching soaps instead of thinking up new ways to kill each other.
Don 1 : That son of a goat Don Quixote has encroached into my territory I will kill him.
Don 2: What happened to Sheila in Bold and the beautiful yesterday. Did she marry her husbands brother or his sister? Or was it the dog?
Don 1 : Oh, my god its time for B and the B, where's the remote.
Don 2: But what about the son of a goat Don Quixote?
Don 1 : Forget him, help me find the remote.
4: The Mega soaps that run for decades helps bond the family and create a unique family tradition:
Grandma will tell grandkiddo the synopsis of the previous six decades. Grandkiddo will continue the tradition long after grandmama has gone to attend a poolside party with Princess Di.
5. Soaps help unlock the potential of the right brain:
The rarely used right brain that is usually concerned with creativity is unlocked by soaps. People who watch soaps have a tendency to try and predict what will happen in the next episode. Considering the fact that for over six decades the story has been revolving around three dysfunctional families, it would take a tremendous amount of creativity to bring yet another twist in the story.

lol...absolutely... it reminds me of this really cute country-western song called "i am my own grandpa" .... i used to find it so amusing because it was so farfetched and ridiculous...but much to my amazement and disgust i have realised that that's the ultimate aim of B and the B type sagas! To link everyone through legimate or otherwise liasons...so u start wondering in how many ways is one person related to another!!!
and hey...do justice..how could u not mention tamil and hindi soaps..come on..surely they take the cake!!
