They focused in the lamest characters. They devoted to much airtime to the cop from the second cast and to Mami cast. They had a round table disscussion with the 'virgins' from the show. That is all I needed to watch the mo-mo, the hillbilly and Catholic disscuss not having sex. I say good for them, but did that really deserve air time, not really.

MTV needs an new editor, big time. The quick ADD style of editing that MTV is so happy about deploying at every cornor is getting tired. Call me a film geek, but there is nothing wrong with a long take. They may also benfit from a linear style of setting up a program.

I am done now, sorry about that.

Have you ever stopped to think...and forget to start again?

I never saw the middle Real Worlds (Seattle and Miami?) because during that time they were extra lame. I actually kind of liked the New Orleans crew - at least they were a little more interesting than that stupid alkie Ruthie and that show-off retard Tek. Even if the Mormon girl was so ho-baggish without actually being a whore (a tease).

I think the reason everyone knows about MTV's programming is that when it's good, it's good, but when it sucks it blows to high heaven. To the extent that it no longer becomes TV, it becomes parody at it's most crass level.

Me? I like "Fear," "Jackass," and "Celebrity Deathmatch." Hell, I even watched "Real World" one weekend to try to be fair about the whole reality TV thing. I like "Jackass," it pretty much showcases the dangers of doing stupid things. Anybody ever see that one where Steve O tries to kiss a wild jellyfish and ends up having to dump his own urine on his face to neutralize the poison?

Meanwhile, I miss Sifl and Olly. But it eases the pain to listen to "United States of Whatever" on MP3.

The "Bobbing for Jellyfish" episode...I taped that one.

Okay, I am a creature of habit. Tuesday night was buffy night. I would do laudry, drink beer and watch buffy with some friends. Now, Tuesday still happen and I still have laundry to be done and the beer still needs to be drunk. I guess what I am getting at is that dispite my better judgement, I watched the Real World Casting Special last night. I am ashamed. But the little virgin girl is real cute.

Nick, remember Buzzkill? I swear that's ten times better than Jackass.

So that means Sophia is on Road Rules? Kick ass! This season could suck and I'd still find it good.

I'm at home yesterday night, getting ready to watch one of the sickest Jackass episodes I've ever seen, when I catch the last part of this special that (supposedly) determines who will actually get to appear on the Road Rules and/or Real World for next season. So, instead of running from the room in fear I watch and laugh as most of the people hug and say really shallow things/cliches to each other--like the immortal "This is sure to change my life."

Then the camera cuts to this young black gentleman. He doesn't get chosen and actually sits down apart from the crowd and openly weeps as his sympathetic friend (a hot latina chick) who was chosen tries to comfort him. But, alas, he pushes her away with a bitchy "Go play with your newfound friends" and ends up sobbing like a little girl.

What the fuck?? I mean, how big a fucking part can a contrieved and repetitive show play in one's life? I didn't know if I should laugh at this giant dork for taking this WAAAAY too seriously or wonder if this is what some people actually consider the Alpha and Omega of existence! How sad to you have to be to consider being filmed every single minute of the day, having your whole life (not just the parts you want to show, mind you) filmed to be critiqued by other hollow-headed assholes, then mocked openly just for the chance to live in some overly decked out house which would never be habitable due to the fact that it's out of the price range of most non-management people and 'designed' by some overpaid 'artistic' dorks. Plus, it only lasts a few months anyway which means that you still have the rest of your life to live after that! What is the point?

*sigh*

Needless to say, I laughed. Plus, the man was effeminate to the point of growing a vagina. Which probably made this idiot think he was a shoo-in for the show.

Oi.
