How much money do you figure they spent to deduct that soap operas are not realistic? Better yet, who's money were they spending to prove common sense?

Hmmm... soap operas aren't realistic? You mean to tell me people don't roll out of bed with perfect hair and makeup on?


Next you are going to tell me that you can't have a twenty minute gun fight with a revolver and never have to reload.

Or an escaping car can be fired on by six guys with machine guns and get away without being hit.

"It's unnerving that not only are soap characters more likely to survive, but their recovery process is amazingly rapid," said study author Dr. David Casarett, an assistant professor at the Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion in Philadelphia. "They go from being in a state of coma one day to walking down the runway as a fashion model the next -- with several romantic liaisons in between."

Why is that unrealistic? Something liks this has happened to me, and to most of my friends.

Well, except for the runway fashion model stuff. And the romantic liaisons.

And the coma thing.
