* Inevitably, I catch an episode of MTV’s “Super Sweet Sixteen” each weekend. It’s great car crash theater, showing us what happens when parents let their children rule the roost. These are stories of 16 year old girls who not only think they’re the center of the known universe, but have their pushover parents prove it on national television. Thankfully, I’m not alone in thinking this:
The reason why this MTV show belongs in obstetrician gift packs is that it is the ultimate barometer of parental failure. If your baby grows up to behave even one-tenth as obnoxious and self-entitled as the eternally spoiled brats in this series, it’s time to see the monks in Tibet.
* LOST Spoilers, maybe. It’s a pic comparing images from the first season finale to images from the third episode of season two. Same people? Sure look it. (Via)

The only good that the Paris Hiltons and Nicole Ritchies do for this world IS TO SHOW PARENTS HOW NOT TO RAISE THEIR KIDS!
What the hell does any 16-year-old need with a BRAND-NEW car, let alone a BMW heaven’s sake?
The best thing that the idiots raising these COMPLETELY WORTHLESS kids can do to regain SOME sense of self-worth AND slap their kids back into reality is to CUT OFF THEIR TRUST FUNDS and let ‘em find their own way into college and the real world! Stop giving them money to behave like complete assholes and characters from “Clueless!”
It’s one thing when people have REAL problems… it’s another being raised a spoiled brat who ultimately has NO gratitude towards parents or anybody else who’s ever done anything good for you.

Interesting picture for Lost. I knew there was something about the researcher in that film that just seemed, odd? Made him stand out? However, I wouldn’t have made the connection the picture suggests

I truly do not understand why MTV would air a show about 16 year-olds throwing a 6-figure birthday bash. It isn’t real life and gives other 16 year olds and younger kids some distorted sense of reality. Your average kid does not have rich parents who can buy them BMW’s, Mercedes, and throw them huge parties. That show is the epitome of what is wrong with MTV.
