MTV's The Real World - Washington DC premiere's tonight. Now as I never watch MTV, I can't say I have seen the show, but after looking at a bunch of YouTube clips, I got the gist. For Christ's sakes, if MTV wanted to get a room full of juvenile ungrateful yahoo's whose sole purpose in life is to use people, scream at anyone, screw anyone, drink tremendous amounts of booze and search for fame, all they'd have to do is film Congress. OK, so maybe the boring old white man thing comes into play, but still the same habits.
And FYI MTV, having just one black dude and 7 whities in the cast doesn't really represent the demographics of Washington DC....not even fucking close. ( I guess we can call it the Shambhala Sun Effect...Thanks John)
Finally, my book review of Sarah Palin, Going Rouge, which was given to me free by someone who I can't mention, but let's just say he's an asshole, and some of the pages were stuck together.
I'm gonna review this book using a series of pictures.
Everyone have a safe and wonderful New Years!!

Hey no fair...there's no token gay couple either.. unless that's unveiled in season two..
Best. Book Review. Ever.
I'm the token gay, so I'll leave a comment and that should suffice. Actually that Rogue lady kinda looks like lipstick lesbian...maybe that's what gets revealed in season two.
On a side note, The Real World (the first 3 seasons or so) was actually worth watching once upon a time. The people weren't chosen simply for their sex appeal and amount of drama they would bring. It was more of a social experiment bringing people of completley different backgrounds/lifestyles/cultures together and seeing what humanity remained/shined through.
Then MTV realized that sex sells more than introspection into diversity in America, so then came the hot tub! Also, the original creator of The Real World passed away some time ago I believe. It was a good idea that has turned into a soft-core version of Girls Gone Wild.
Watching the first New York and London seasons, you watched not for the confrontations (which happend) but to also see how those people got along, and worked/lived together. Now it's only to see people yell at eachother and have sex in the hot tub. Too bad.
@Jody - If you know what's good for you, you'll leave the size of my acorns out of this. :-)
@Shane - You'd ever here about Dupont circle? And I looooove lesbians!
@Adam - They should make a real world, Buddhist bloggers...now that would be worth watching.
Kyle - The new Real World is supposed to be some mix of Conservatives and Liberals in D.C.
I think if they were to do a Buddhoblogger Real World, they should throw in some Bibliobloggers (Bible Bloggers?) to make things more interesting.
@Samuel - Ohh now that would kinda scarey, through in some muslims and hindu's and we'd have ourselves a show!
