MTV Sweet Sixteen - is this fucking show for real?

Nickelodeon should do a show about the parties parents throw for their two year olds.

We had 150 people three ponies and clown. Of course it was all catered.

You only had one clown? We had Wayne Newton put on a show for the kids. Yeah, he’s a good friend of mine. Golf buddy, ya know.

My grandmother used to come in and catch a glance of a movie we were watching and be disgusted by it. “I can’t believe they said that!”

45 minutes later, we were explaining plot twists to her so she could get herself up to speed.

Naah, I don’t think white equates rich skinny spoiled brats. I was alluding to Paris Hilton specifically. I’ve never even seen this “Sweet Sixteen” show because I’m in Canada and we have MuchMusic instead of MTV. In a way, that makes me glad. On the other hand, UPN is Veronica Mars’s network and we don’t have UPN in Canada…sigh.

Marley, oh, stop, you. Nobody’s ever told me they like my way of thinking. Most people think I’m just some depressed bitch who thinks she knows more than them. Well, the last part is true, isn’t it??

Well it was Red Skelton.

(but he wasn’t very funny)

When we got cable about a year ago, i remember being really disappointed with MTV.

My last experience with that channel had been back in the early 90s, when i lived in Canada for a couple of years. At the time, MTV’s main thing seemed to be, you know, actually playing music.

Now it’s just another crappy cable channel with crappy reality programs and a whole bunch of other oft-repeated crap.

When did this happen?

He didn’t try to get you to buy one of those paintings, did he?

Those things creep me right out.

On my 16th birthday I got a bass. And I was GRATEFUL, DAMMIT.

Are you talking about a fish or a guitar?

It’s a fish AND a guitar.

Dio- either way that would make one kick ass bday :slight_smile:

Oh, yeh, you mean this one?

It’s got good fin action but it’s hard to play scale.

You can tuna… nah…

Jesus.

For the record, I meant the guitar.

I think we need to declare a moratorium on this type of reply to threads with people complaining about tv. Yes, we all know that you can change the channel or turn it off. Yes, we all understand that you can vote with your remote. That doesn’t change the ire that some shows generate in people; enough ire to actually go to the trouble of posting a rant about it.

No, nobody has to watch it, but they don’t have to make it, either.

Oh, when I said “Jesus”, that wasn’t in frustration. The fish guitar is just creepy.

Um, the people making this crap, that is, not the people watching it.

Oh yeah, well for my kid’s 0th birthday, I had her lowered out of the womb by a helicopter, and then I gave her a tiara. And I became a rap star.

Then maybe you’d prefer a guitar fish?

Or how about a ukelele?
