Do you look to reality tv for your role models, or for your children's role models, if applicable? Is reality tv the best platform for someone looking to be a role model about anything, considering how engineered and edited it is, leaving the participants with zero input into how they are portrayed (meaning, if someone is serious about being active for a cause, is a reality show the logical place to go about it)?

When you look around and see the effective activism being done by viral web campaigns, kickstarters, and plain old fashioned community outreach, why would a reality show be a better choice than somewhere the message can be controlled?
