Landfill Media

1. Any sort of printed, transmitted or otherwise easily recievable media that caters to the lowest, worst common denominators. 2. Yellow journalism of the worst kind detailing the lives of the rich and famous but offering no merit or newsworthy information at all. 3. A Tv Program showing pretty rich people being naughty or otherwise being thrust into hackneyed, ridiculous contrived situations.

"Survivor" is the nothing but pure landfill media and the thought that anyone really cares about the outcome makes me want to vomit.
