The MTV rant. And bonus ranting. Wee!

I am not the nicest person in the world. The nicest person in the world could take any situation in the world, smile, and be nice right back. I can’t do that. When the world gives me lemons, I find a slingshot to fire the lemons out of. Fuck lemonade. Who drinks it anyhow? Seriously, kids nowadays steal, cheat, lie, and sell crack instead of

I realize that...

I realize that, though I should have phrased it differently. What I meant was more along the lines of "metro-sexual takeover of MTV dating shows" "ACK!!" FLipping through the station, on my way to better channels (its 53, and I like stations in the 40's and in the 60's) what I noticed was that if the guy looked like a normal guy, he was probably on the gay version of the show, and they went out and hunted for 5 or so of the most sterotypically gay men they could find. Not normal people, not people with beer guts, but guys where you can count their ribs through tight sparkly t-shirts. And what I found (and find) upsetting about that is two-fold. One, it propagates the stereotypes, and Two, it further hammers home the idea that only painfully thin, heavily preening men get anywhere with the opposite sex. Though I know that to be untrue, there are times I have my doubts, and flipping throuh MTV makes me either depressed or enraged, depending on how much I've had to drink.

Oh, and in weird defense of my point, I wateched one episode of room raiders- girl looking at straight guy's rooms- and I swear they each had more hair carew products than the barbershop I go to. It was like a requirement to get on the show- which is where the original comment came from... as for the gym bags- I was channeling my inner 80's. =)

So I aplogize... and still hate MTV... and why are you just finding these now? I would have expected comments months ago.
