VH1 has a new addition to its twisted reality show family.
"You're Cut Off."
It's a show about spoiled rich girls whose families have decided to financially abandon them after twenty or more years of supporting them.
The girls will have to learn to work, cook, clean, and overturn their spoiled ways before they can beg their families to associate with them again.
Watching this show, something popped into my mind.
Well, two things--first, why the hell am I watching this show?
Second, why aren't the families being held accountable in some way for what these girls have turned into?
Seeing the girls careen through their new lives like spoiled pinballs in a bitch machine is a little like watching Frankenstein's monster struggle to understand why the doctor won't buy it Prada anymore.
I didn't exactly feel badly for these girls, but I did want to see their parents, grandparents, and in one case spouse, suffer some penalty for creating all this nonsense.
My favorite moment of the show had to be when the mother of one of the girls sent in a video telling her daughter that she was spoiled rotten.
The mother had clearly gotten more plastic surgery than the entire city of Miami, and might as well have been wearing a shirt that said "Trophy Wife." Clearly, like her daughter, she'd never worked a day in her life.
So what exactly is the show trying to say? Apparently in that case, it's okay to milk your husband dry, but not your parents.
I've often found that one of the favorite pastimes of rich people is spoiling children and then complaining about how spoiled they are.
My brother is in high school, and some of his friends are receiving their first cars. A few have gotten vehicles that even I would feel nervous driving due to how much they cost. What is the point of giving a sixteen-year-old a car like that?
I think it's an extension of bragging. "Look what I can buy my kid." or "My kid's not driving around in some run-down piece of junk."
Spoiling a kid and then acting surprised when they turn out rotten is like leaving mayonnaise out on the back porch and getting ticked off when it goes bad. The results follow the actions.
So it only seems right that person responsible should be the one committing the actions--and in this case, it's the parents.
Maybe they're the ones who should have their credit cards taken away for a month. You have to cut a rotten tree out by the roots, don't you?
