The sweet 16 parties cost like 200 grand it’s insane. I just saw the show is anybody else familiar with it?
Yeah, the kids are so flippin’ spoiled. Part of me is like, “Why don’t I get to fly to Paris to buy random dresses?” Then I realize it is because it would turn my into a giant douche bag.

I think you called it with that one.
Such shows will be as fuel to the proles in the next Revolution!
(I despise it.)
I saw it once or twice. Miserable show.
I actually believe that the producers and editors of the show put it together so viewers have the “what a bunch of spoiled little brats” outlook rather than a “oh wow, look how the rich kids have fun, I envy them.”
I was watching one with a Boy having a sweet 16 party and he and his dad drove up from the Philly area to NYC to audition ‘dancers’ for the party.
Wait… 16 years old boys are having sweet 16 parties???
Okay, I think I can say that I’m old. When I was 16 all we had to look forward to was getting our driver’s license.
The only episode I’ve seen is the one where the girl runs away with Mommy’s credit card on a wild shopping spree (Mommy cancelled the card). She then goes out for a birthday dinner with her parents and sobs as if she’s been told she only has 3 days to live when her parents inform her that she will *not *be getting the $40,000 new car that she’d wanted for her birthday.
Of course, she got the car anyway a few days later. :rolleyes:
Everyone was worried my generation would grow up to become a bunch of sex-crazed drug addicts and alcholics from watching too much MTV. Looks like this next generation is going to grow up to become a bunch of spoiled douchebags.
I don’t understand this culture of greed and affluence. The 80s greed and affluence I understood - work hard, become a crooked stockbroker or Wall Street banker and steal all the money you can and show everyone how wealthy you are. Now its like “worship me! I’m a wealthy simpleton!”
Basically Paris Hilton started this whole trend.
msmith537, with all due respect you have these brats in EVERY generation. If you haven’t noticed yet, everything is a television show now, a “reality” show at that. The only reason you think it is more prominent is because you see it displayed on TV all the time. There are still MILLIONS of children growing up in poverty, and that number is rising dramatically under the current administration, so it’s not a “generational” thing. I know, the older generations always like to talk about how the kids are so bad, spoiled, violent, blah blah blah. Keep in mind, you all acted like idiots when you were kids too, just the resources were different. And also try to think about WHERE they’re getting their money from - their parents, who I would assume are . . . your generation? 
Anyways, on to the OP. I have seen the show, several times in fact. I get great enjoyment out of seeing them throw temper tantrums, like the girl who was told she wasn’t getting her car (but later did get it). I watch it for no other reason than to be happy that I’m not some rich arsehole who has no soul. I didn’t have much growing up and I turned out fine. Yeah, it would have been nice to have that kind of money, but at what cost to who I am? I would have no idea the value of hard work today.
Come on now, he has a name… It’s HART! HAHAHA
wouldn’t you love to see his reaction when he’s all grown up and he’s looking back at how stupid he looks with his wardrobe full of the same polo shirt in different colors and popped collars? Awful!
This is simultaneously one of the funniest and one of the most depressing things I’ve ever heard.
You know what HST always said;
When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.
I saw that one, If I ever meet her I would savor the moment.
And punch her in the throat.
