And I'm angry about something else, too!

So there is this show on MTV called "Exiled." Those spoiled dumb dumbs from "My Sweet Sixteen" get taught some kind of lesson or something. Their parents think that the kids can;t handle the real world, and they want to teach them a lesson, so they send them away to learn about hard work in Third World Countries. Very dramatic. None of the spoiled dumb dumbs want to go, and it is like a horrible punishment that has been inflicted on them. And this is my problem. I have tried my best to avoid this show, but have surfed over to MTV twice at the moment when the parents are sending the dumb dumbs away. The countries they are being sent to: Africa and India.

This is where I am pissed: why is it a punishment and a lesson to be sent to Aftrica? Or India? I hate to break it to MTV and the spoiled dumb dumbs and their stupid box parents, but many people call those continents/countries home, and although life may sometimes be hard, it is not a punishment to be there. They work and eat good food and have babies and birthdays over there. It's not all concentration camp.

Nobody wants to see those dirty duckers from My Sweet Sixteen be unhappy more than me, but what are you teaching them? How are you changing their perception about their status relative to others when you present the developing world as a punishment and a hardship. Bullshit! And I'm sure there is some saccarine message at the end of the show where the dumb dumbs come to realize that we are all the same or some shit, but I don;t care! Still bullshit! Wrongheaded and offensive. So there you go.
