Since I decided to start off my day with a bitchy rant about what's bugging me, I'll continue.
I think I half ass understand MTV's reasoning behind shows like Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant. They want to show girls the reality of teen pregnancy, and how its not easy, but in reality, what they're doing is GLAMORIZING it...the "stars" of these shows are all over magazine covers, on the nightly entertainment shows and are on the front page of every msn/aol and yahoo home page. So when 16 year old Peggy Sue finds her self pregnant she doesn't think, "this shouldn't happen. I can't handle this. Let's give the baby up for adoption." She thinks, "Boo-ya! I'm gonna be on TV and I'm going to be famous!" I don't care if its a ratings win MTV, enough...there is nothing glamorous about being knocked up at 16, so stop making young girls think its cool. (For that matter, there is really nothing glamorous about being knocked up at 34, either...pregnant and glamor do not belong in the same sentence.)
FOR THE RECORD...I am neither 34 nor knocked up, for any of you trying to draw conclusions from that last statement.
For you Hawkeye fans who made fun of us Cyclone fans when WE made the Insight Bowl...a bowl win is still a bowl win, right??? Oh and did you hear the one where Iowa City is going to an all dirt field so the players can't smoke the grass or snort the lines? (Hee hee hee...FOR THE RECORD, I attended a Hawkeye Bowl party and I even wore a hawkeye sweatshirt, so don't be a hater because I'm pointing out the obvious and poking fun.) Having to wear such foreign attire is probably the cause of today's bitchiness. (I'm certain its the cause of the strange rash that has appeared)
Dear maker of childrens' toys..for the love of all things holy do you really need to not only sew the Taylor Swift singing doll to her box, but also put three different zip ties on her various body parts and then attach two small plastic thingys with screws? FOR FUCK SAKES DUDE its a DOLL not a nuclear war head!!!! I propose that all toys in which tools are required to just get them out of the Godforsaken box, come with said tools. It's like the whole put your own furniture thing together. If it needs and Allen wrench, it should come with an Allen wrench.
Whew....I'm starting to fell better...as you were....
