Who the hell made up this list, a 15 year old? If your kid can't figure out on his own that tv isn't real, your kid is a freakin moron.
You'd be surprised how many middle schoolers think "reality TV" is real life on TV.

Not really, George Carlin said it best, there are a lot of really stupid people out there. If your middle school kid is one of these kids, teaching them these moronic 11 rules will not make much a difference. He's pretty much hopeless

I know a good percentage of the adult population that think it's reality!

That's pretty much the point. You don't learn them in school. The same way it's not the job of schools (or teachers) to teach sex education or hand out condoms, or respect, but they do because clearly children aren't learning those things at home.

How do you get racism from those "rules"? Exactly who, what, or group is being discriminated?
