Be good

So SuperNanny has become my "reality tv" fix of choice (which is an upgrade from my previous Flavor of Love obsession). I know nothing in this world wants to acknowledge the experiences of Black folks, particularly young, poor, Black women, but I would really like to see at least one episode that catered to a family where the head of household was

lol, ima be real, i haven't even made an attempt to watch this show. dont completely remember the premise, or even all the pro's and con's off hand.. but i remember the previews.. didn't really appeal to me. why is somethin so important bein used for entertainment? and folks can claim the show raises awareness.. but c'maaaaahn! a reality show to help awareness? why not make another teen movie to promote awareness of std's and domestic violence? i mean, not that it's impossible to take it serious cus it's a reality show.. but im sayin tho, most people dont take reality shows serious since it became a damn genre. and whas worse, it look like one of the main goals for those who appear on reality shows is to use it as a spring board for a career in the entertainment business (go figure).

well fuck it. i'd rather watch Flav and a bunch of ladies rangin from luke warm to tolerably spicy as they fuck off their lives by draggin highschoo behavior into adulthood. thas a waste that seem easier to stomach, much easier than the mismanagement of one of the most flagrantly accepted social epidemics. all them clueless ladies can recover from not bein able to marry a gremlin. on the other hand, few even realize the ailments that come with bein born into - or bein the head of - a broken family.

maybe, on the brighter side, the clueless will get a clue from watchin this show!! or, maybe, the plight of a single-parent home will be as easily digested - and just as easily chastized, provoked and then dismissed - as the rest of capitalism. just another bleep on the radar, so to speak.
