i can't stomach cable tv

i feel so nauseaus. in the past 24 hours i have seen the following on cable TV:

• a man trying (and failing) for a few minutes to pierce his own cheek
• a half white/ half black hermaphrodite baby
• an african man with a tumor in his cheek the size of a basketball
• a punctured silicone implant
• indian children with a rare premature aging disease

if i stay up a little later, i can see the man whose arms exploded.

are these reality TV shows better than america's next top model, date my mom, etc?
