So instead of worrying about what you do and do not receive for your birthday, try asking someone to buy you a dictionary, so you know how to spell. So when your parents are broke due to the bad economy you know how to write a resume when you need to get a job and support yourselves.

The show is predicated upon the reality that America has transformed itself into a highly indebted, consumerist nation, that produces mostly worthless financial instruments and utilizes US dollar hegemony to compel other nations to produce the various goods it greedily consumes. MTV created Super Sweet 16 in order to encourage conspicuous consumption among the newest generations of up and coming consumers. The kids are not to blame for their vacuous inclinations to overindulge. Not even the parents, who themselves are victims of a longstanding Big Media brainwash machine, that attempts to suggest that material things are the only avenue to happiness. No, the real culprits are corporate America and advertisers in cahoots with Big Media to promote shallow icons and misguided ideals. The true culprits are the political puppets who allowed America to export its production capacity offshore, leaving the country as little more than a large populace of insatiable consumers incapable of producing most of the goods they now covet. MTV is at the vanguard of the great American brainwash machine, attempting to convince us each and every hour what should matter in this world. MTV defines what is "hot," sending zillions of repetitious messages of what we should think is beautiful or desirable, in everything from body forms to music tastes. Naturally, MTV favors rap/hiphop as a music genre since it is that music that specializes in sending endless consumerist messages to buy bling-bling in every manner, shape, and form. The advertisers love rap/hiphop more than any music genre since it generally reveres conspicuous consumption as the ultimate good. With many millions today losing their homes, unable to afford health care insurance, and finding it more difficult to feed themselves, naturally, Super Sweet 16 embodies all that is wrong with the society. It is far past time to fix an American Empire that is in rapid decay, thanks to the worst priorities and ideals. The public needs to protest loudy, not to the political puppets who work on behalf of corporate America; rather they must make their voices heard on Wall Street, which is where the true leaders of the nation reside. A massive protest is necessary, sooner than later, in order to let corporate America know that we will no longer passively accept this very corrupted and immoral status quo.

It has nothing to do with jealousy and everything to do with teaching children personal and financial responsibility. Even if I had all the money in the world I would never raise my kids that way. I would rather spend my money in investments and charity rather than flush it down the toilet with some spoiled 16 year old. bob and PARTY totally missed the point.

And this bitch had to be the most spoiled girl on the show ever. She kept bragging about how hott she was but she was ugly as shit. She was so obssessed with pink that she had her dogs colored with pink. And she was so upset when she didn't get the band that she wanted. Talk about a spoiled bitch!!!!!
