Jee ForaTV, you're really scraping the bottom of the relevant social commentary barrel, aren't you? Seems like the fluff/actual content ratio has become increasingly worse over the last year.

That's just my opinion. I like things that foster introspection and force me to question my conceptions. I'm sure there are plenty of dupes who like drooling in front of pointless inanity such as this. So I guess I should complement you for doing an exemplary job in catering to them. *golf clap*

The antithesis of feminism. All the guys rely on their mothers, but hate and distrust their mothers because they don't put themselves above their sons. They slut-shame the women, while the guys are ridonkulously slutty. Blech.

@jzev That's an ugly word. And the person you're looking for is Jonathan Murray.

Jersey Shore is so anti-women it's crazy. There is no feminism on that show, period. Pauly D and Ronnie are straight up whores. When Veronica ? sleeps with one guy and goes out on a date the next day, she's called a whore with venom by everyone in the house. Vinny's mother chooses to wipe his ass and he doesn't honor or appreciate what she does. Hence, he thinks he all women should put others above themselves. Dirtbag.

MTV takes young drunks with apparent problems and turns them into stars

Fora TV.

The World Isn't Thinking.....umm, what were we talking about again?

[dex1lsp]

The answer to your question: No. Quite the contrary. I can't stand that pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-feminist bullshit. It's all backwards and self-defeating.

[jzev]

mtv nowadays is just pure boring.

Music TeleVision??? not anymore it is
