In the old days, when great men of vision and morals controlled the Hollywood studio system, they would refrain from placing certain lowbrow entertainments in front of the public because they believed that there should be minimum intellectual and cultural standards in all that they produced.

But there are no more standards in Hollywood today other than the standard of making a buck, no matter how crappy the entertainment concepts happen to be. Someday, historians will probably examine this point in American history and describe it appropriately as a cultural Dark Age, despite the paradox that it appears to be a Golden Age in terms of technology. It is certainly a very interesting paradox that, as Americans become increasingly literate regarding computers, genetics, robotics, etc., they are becoming increasingly stupid regarding humanities, history, languages, and social sciences.

Anyway, if there is true justice and Hell in this Universe, then all MTV execs and producers will be forced to spend the rest of eternity, each and every day, viewing the abject sh-t they purvey on their idiot network, no matter how nauseated it makes them.

for example i’ve seen a 6 year old boy get a brand new laptop for no reason at all, he did absolutly nothing yet received a new laptop? Give me a break, im 16 years old and i actually have a job, i mean ok i make 100 a week (which is while working minimum wage) and i actually have to save up my money to buy a laptop

These “rich kids” believe that money makes everything better, and anyone more poor than them or “below them” is just jealous of them and their wealth… news flash to all rich people … Money can’t buy you happiness, sure it can buy you your fancy sports cars and have yourself a big party for no reason on a yacht or in some luxurious mansion or estate, but thats not happiness, and to the teens who have never worked a day in their lives and think they never will, Mommy and Daddies trust funds wont always be there for you forever and when they run out your actually going to have to work and your gong to have no clue as to what to do when you work , and if u keep those spoiled “i get what i want attitudes” your gonna be fired so fast its not even funny…

Ok maybe it is funny lol

Honestly it’s because of the spoiled, rich, snobby people such as yourselves that so many foreign cultures hate America, they think all of us Americans are like you and quite frankly i take that as an insult. If most of you weren’t such Smug, Money Hungry assholes then maybe most of the world wouldn’t hate the Americans

And one more thing, i’ve noticed that a large number of wealthy Americans”, despite popular belief, are actually friend-less, those “friends” aren’t friends with the person, just their money, and if by some miracle that money runs out what happens? Oh My God most of the “friends” left.. shocking

I for one abhor the Upper class of America, I love being middle class because i actually have to work for what i want and in the end i feel accomplished, what do wealthy people feel when they are finally able to purchase that “thing” they wanted for a long time??
The Answer? They Don’t, in fact they don’t do work at all

Please any “wealthy” people reading this, Feel Free to leave a response, I’m always up for a discussion with the wealthy, near-illiterate youth of America

hell, jealousy much and daddy’s girl can’t spell shit. yes, daddy is spelled with TWO D’s.

you kids are gonna grow old, spoiled and dumb. i know i know, you’re rich, but i don’t think you’re gonna be smart enough to function in this world.

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.

Hey bigger idiot only idiots like yourself trat their kids like this regardless of their income status.
