America, THIS is YOUR FAULT!



Right now, this person Monchichi creature not only has her own show on MTV, but there are idiots who are trying to win a chance to be with her romantically. Tila Tequila earned her fame on MySpace, apparently, which catapulted her into a singing and "modeling" career, and now this show. "A Shot at Love" pits the dumbest dudes on earth against the nastiest wannabe lesbians alive to compete for the affection of a growed up crack baby (who is bisexual).

Now, this might be the reality show that breaks the camel's back. It also might be another sign of the apocalypse, if you're keeping score. The problem isn't the bisexual "twist" of course, but the lengths at which morons will go to be on television and how the idea of fame is actually portrayed. The guys are meat head douchebags, and the ladies are a bunch of skanky strippers. In a way, I'm glad they have each found their niche, and they aren't a part of my life directly. I can easily hate them from afar. Somehow, I imagine that this show and others like it are responsible for setting our expectations of what it takes in this word to "make it"-- which for some can be very disillusioning and unfortunate, but for others it can be the very ray of sunshine that allows them to know there is a reason to go on. I love it.

If you knew about the auditions for this show and you did not tell me, we are not friends anymore.
