I Don't Want My MTV (At Least The Current Incarnation)

I know I'm not pointing out anything obvious but damn MTV is vapid as hell.

I used to think that MTV was an important outlet that exposed a large audience to things that they wouldn't normally encounter, namely gays and lesbians (R.I.P. Pedro), and to an extent I think the ability is still there, but the rest of the time that channel is garbage (Save for Pimp My Ride which I love).

I recently spent an unfortunate hour watching two of the most recent episodes of "My Super Sweet Sixteen". If this is America's future please grant me asylum in Canada or just kill me now. I think I'm still in shock over these people and their sense of entitlement, that the world should just bow at their feet and be damned for anyone else. I'm amazed that these "parents" are rewarding these girls with an obnoxious party when they lack basic self-control or humbleness. It must be nice thinking your God's gift.

I realize, dear reader, you might think that I'm bitter but in reality I'm not. That's the crucial difference though. I'm in reality and these girls are soooo far off on Planet Self-Absorbed that they won't realize until it's too late that all the money or material things in the world won't buy you love or happiness. It only makes me angry because it's saddening to see such insecure people running around thinking that bigger is better and that it will fulfill their every wish or desire.

Money and/or material things will not fill that void. It never has and never will. You're only kidding yourself otherwise.

I will expound on this thought later. Time for GSA.
