What form of entertainment will you never understand or see the attraction to?

I can't say because it might cause hurt feelings.

Football.   I just don't get why so many millions of people sit in front of their TVs or in stadiums watching some big guys chase around a pigskin. People get in fights over it, the players get paid millions of dollars for what? again,chasing a pigskin.

Football. Boxing. Sadistic sex. Getting hurt never seemed like entertainment to me. I don't get it.

The form of entertainment I will never understand is going to the opera. I mean, listening to people sing in a strange language for three hours, while being dressed up in stuffy formal clothes...I just do not get it..but, hey, that's just me.

Japanese Comedy TV, where people humiliate, and seem to cause considerable pain to one another, in the name of laughs.

Wrestling and monster truck events...what is the point?

There are lots of things I don't enjoy watching, but for the life of me I don't know how anyone can take videotaped moments of weird death and near death events and broadcast them as "family" entertainment on a Sunday night.  Who can watch some poor woman jump out of  plane and not have her parachute open screened to an entire nation as some sort of "fun".   We might as well broadcast executions while we're at it.

Really easy game shows that move too slow.

Alias Irrelevante

Professional wrestling, bungee jumping, and freak shows.

WWF Wrestling. I'd rather watch a martial arts film/movie/skirmish, since the fighting looks more realistic. They also do better and faster moves. I find WWF wrestling incredibly lame and boring. I wonder how much they get paid?

I don't know. . . . regular good old-fashioned pornography. . . .it seems pointless and boring to me. . . .and I really don't understand it. . ..

I can not for the life of me understand why people would want to get on such "TALK SHOWS?" like Jenny Jones, Montel and Jerry springer and air their dirty laundry in front of millions of people.
