Freud's theories and me

Have you ever thought about how Freud’s theories fit in with the current media? Freud developed his own thoughts on the human psyche, which includes the id, ego, and the superego. His theories separate the media into different categories. The Id is represented by shows such as The Hills, Rock of Love, and even the porn of today. The Ego is all of the news programs and documentaries of the past that can be frequently viewed on television today. The Superego is represented by Cops, Reno 911 and the religious shows that preach to the public. Which category do you most likely fit into? I think that I fit into the Ego portion of it more than the other two. I came to this conclusion because I seem to watch more news programs and documentaries than anything else. I do watch MTV shows and reality shows of that sort but they do not interest me as much. Since the ego focuses more on consciousness, could this mean that I am more realistic about certain things?
