Like, My Super Sweet 16, you guys

Well, MTV's new season of My Super Sweet 16 has just kicked off with yet another obnoxiously spoiled teenager. Okay, we get it: these kids live a more luxurious life than the average American. But does that really entitle them to behave like airheaded, bitchy morons? It's no wonder that society now acts like there's no moral fiber, virtue, anything left in today's youth... After all, popular culture is plagued with pre-teen idiots. Just about every episode features some brat screeching at his or her (usually her) parents and results in me snarling at the TV, "If you say 'whatever' one more time..." followed by some angry flailing.Is this horrible behavior simply in the name of "love to hate" entertainment or is it a real negative influence on today's youth (I know pre-teens that worship and live by this show)? All of these kids make me sick... especially after I remind myself they're barely younger than me and are already so corrupted. And yet... I can't flip the channel. I've got to admit, all complaining aside, idiocy makes some good TV. Damn guilty pleasure television. Honestly, at this point, I'm not sure if I'm recommending or bashing this show nor am I sure if I love it or hate it. I suppose it's something you have to see for yourself so you can happily complain about it later.
