A New Low
In fact, this may prove that there is no bottom to how bad both Reality TV and MTV are going to get. this coming from me (jared) who spent 4 good years not knowing there was TV outside of MTV, MTV2, VH1 and Comedy Central.
Ok, obviously i’m getting old now, but I am disturbed by the latest MTV Reality show. For those of you who are not as cool as me. Last year rapper T.I. was arrested for violating probation in trying to buy enough automatic assault rifles to start a small ghetto Atlanta Army. Instead of getting the multi year prison sentance of someone who isn’t famous, he was given community service and one year in jail. Making sure that his career is improved by his criminal activity MTV is now going to do a show based on him doing his community service!
"T.I.’s legal woes head to MTV reality show
May 28, 2008
The new reality show will follow the troubled rapper as he performs his community service ahead of a one-year prison sentence for illegal possession of firearms"
Today’s lesson (maybe this should be on the rainbow annie blog)- Kids it is ok to try to buy masses of weapons to kill people, as long as you get a show out of it– and MTV is there to help!
people keep trying to convince me guns are what make america great. i think reality tv is what makes america what it is. now, we have proof that guns, fame, and mtv are what the next generation needs to succeed. do you think canada will have me?

Yea for MTV and the “Not Me” Generation. I swear…Based on TV, Pop culture, and the Live Music Shows I go to: I think I could actively promote “Youth-enasia!” Gas ‘em all before they get so cool they suck their loved ones emotionally and financially dry; then burst into flames as their flat iron shorts on their excessive hair products and incinerates their parents house (that they are still brooding in after ditching an attempt at community college). I would even consider finally giving up the “pro-choice” stance I’ve had since I could read and adopt a
“Pro-life until we’re sure they’re useless THEN…
Youth-enasia!”
A little harsh? Perhaps. There ARE some to whom this does not apply, but not enough to save a generation in my (useless and powerless) opinion…
