Remember "My Super Sweet Sixteen"? The show about spoiled brats that spend more on their 16th birthdays than most people do on their college educations?? Well, "Exiled" is a spin off of that show.
The premise is - they take those spoiled fuckers and "exile" them to developing countries such as Africa, India, etc. The idea is these rich biatches see how underprivileged people live.
I think it's ridiculous. Not because "My Super Sweet Sixteen" already makes me want to commit homicide. Not even because MTV has yet to play a real music video (and 4am does not count) since the 80's. Simply because - most kids (myself included) would kill to go to these countries. Can you imagine the life experiences? Or how awesome it would look on college applications? Never mind - these a-holes can buy their degrees anyway. But here is this amazing opportunity wasted on Paris Hilton wanna-bes and 17 year old Ghetto Superstars.
I hate them.
But I watch the show. The same way I watch those sad ASPCA commercials that make my stomach knot up. Because I want to find the meaning. The good.
MTV, a big pat on the back for this one. Congrats on giving rich kids more ammo to hold over the heads of their middle class peers. You're just like Oprah.
