^^^yeah thats what i use to think about MTV too, well that was way way way back in the day! the media is all about pop culture now. No independent thought or expression.
As my Inebriated buddy walks out of the Porto, he yells out, "Dude...I love this place...bonnaroo thinks about everything...they even put beer holders next to the toilet!"
Had to break it to him that that was the urnal. Good times good times!

"the irresistible villians of a maddeningly addictive tv show in which nothing ever really happens"
true, true. I hate The Hills. People just talking. talking. talking. the whole time and it never goes anywhere. Why does anybody want to watch a show about a bunch of spoiled brats who get everything handed to them?

not surprised. the issue will sell like crazy. the hills is something of a reality show phenom. its ratings are ridiculously high. (not standing up for it, just FYI)
I despise The Hills and everything it and all those idiots on the show are about. I have seen an episode or two in the past but have sworn to stay far far away since all the hype.
I just renewed RS - got a free subscription and it ran out. I dunno, they do write a lot about pop culture, but I find their articles to be so much better written and more in-depth than Spin. I also like the political commentary and articles they have. However this cover is making me a bit regretful for actually PAYING for a magazine subscription.
By the way, hi everyone! I have missed you guys - a month away form Inforoo feels like an eternity!!!
i have watched a total of thirty seconds of the hills, and thats only because of the accumulated time that was spent going through mtv while channel surfing....
what a horrible show....
if they wanted to do a reality tv show person they could have at least done like flavor flav, that way it would have had hilarious pictures, and most likely a hilarious interview.
Me neither, one more reason to not be bitter for not having cable.
Don't be bitter. Rejoice in the fact that you've never had the unfortunate opportunity to stumble upon it crowd surfing, and possibly waste valuable seconds of your life watching the semi-real lives of spoiled rich kids.

i dont watch the show. I dont like the show. I dont like almost any shows really. but I think everyone is being a little harsh on it.
To me its barely different than about 90% of television. I think in some ways to have a semi-scripted drama is kind of ground breaking. I mean they've always done it with comedy but being able to start doing it with dramas is very interesting. Especially when they arent trying to make a game show out of it.
Of course not having a real through line makes its plot shallow but so what. Was Friends deep? No chance.

I have no idea, but apparently people do - why else would we have shows like "My Super Sweet 16"? Spoiled brats who get everything handed to them on a silver platter, while some poor immigrant slaves away in the kitchen for minimum wage, preparing lobster mornay and bombe alaska for daddy's little precious. I just want to smack some sense into those idiot kids.
It's the seven-car-pileup syndrome that makes those shows so popular - you don't want to see it, but at the same time, you can't look away.

For some reason, I just get realllly angry about the fact that the show is entirely scripted, and they try to pass it off as reality. I know that most reality shows are fake to some degree but the fact that they cast friends for LC, and that all their "jobs" are just for the show, and a billion other things... it bothers me way more than most other reality TV. Maybe it is because its supposed to be their real lives, instead of a game show like Tila Tequila or something. I dunno, I just feel deceived.
This is the kind of stuff that makes me happy I don't watch TV outside of football or the History Channel. Or Comedy Central, of course. Seriously, guys. There are a lot of good books out there.

*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

More to the point, I recommend Slaughterhouse Five or Brave New World for the beginners...and for all you lovers out there, I suggest you read A Farewell to Arms.

My vote goes to Fahrenheit 451.
And yes, it is a hot cover. Reminds me that I've got to start doing more crunches. Boo.
