MTV wins again

My Super Sweet 16 has one again demonstrated to today's youth that your parents can be manipulated, tricked, coerced, threatened, humiliated, trained....directly in front of half the nation.

People talk about the spoiled brat kids on the show, but really, what 16 year old wouldn't accept a brand new luxury car of their choice, along with a party in the six figure range. C'mon, it's not the kids that we should question here, it's the foolish parents.

Hats off to MTV for creating a show that did exactly what it intended --- made fools of the adults! Applause, applause.

Jeez. Parents are really puppets to their kids today, eh? Darned teen-targeted advertising.

I suspect that it isn't MTV fault for portraying the parents as idiots... it the parents fault for BEING idiots. There are some dumb people in this world, and they always wonder why stuff comes back to bite them in the butt.

Let's hear it for the intelligent population of the world!!!

BTW: Great blog!

But you're right, it's the parents fault that the kids are the way they are.

Btw, Michele sent me!

Joyously roaming through life. Meeting its topographical challenges, and facing each with a sarcastic wit, and an impetuous need to face even more bumps, dips, pits and peaks. How the hell else did I end up with a 22 year old, a 20 year old and a 4 year old?
