I also watched this show because of this thread and was for some unknown reason laughing away the bollocks when that dumb broad walked into a mosh pit and got broadsided. How stupid can you be? The first rule of moshing is anyone that is in the middle of the pit is fair game. Dolt. ---

I am another lemming who watched the show because of this thread, and I happened to catch it while surfing the channels. Oh I laughed when they wanted Beyonce, who would come for 1/2 million! ---

O.K., I’m sorry. I was wrong, you were right. Geez. Forgive me for wallowing in my own sweet delusions of adequacy. If it will help, I point the following quote from Family Guy at myself: [Bryan] Yeeeeeeaaaaaah! In your F\*\*\*\*\* face M\*\*\*\*\*-F\*\*\*\*\*! [/Bryan] ---

I’m going to create a TV show called _shadenfreude_. I’ll make billions. Actually a single show can’t encompass it, we’ll need a whole goddamn network. No, still not big enough. It will require the resources of an entire televition industry. :smack: Fuck! They already have that. I generally avoid such shows but they make me glad I come from working class parents who had to bust their asses for that they have. When they were first married they were close to being what would not be called working poor except they never took assistance. Mom tells a story of when she they didn’t even have enough money for her to take the bus home from beauty school. She found a $20 at the bottom of her purse and sat down and cried. My folks tried to give my brother and I things they didn’t have. My grandmother thought we were being spoiled but she did live through the depression. None of these vacuous bimbos will ever understand the value of money that is earned through effort. Unfortunately we’ll never see a reality show when they catch up with these “sweet sixteens” after they have burned through all daddy’s money and are down at the bus station giving handjobs for crack.
