Hijinks

Has anyone watched this crap on MTV?
It's like a bad car accident; I can't look away.
These morons (I'd be nice and say they're misinformed, but there's no way in today's world that you could realistically think this, unless you're a moron) think that they can be fifty or more pounds overweight, saggy and flabby, and walk into a plastic surgeon's office, and walk out with Janet Jackson's stomach.
That was the one I saw a few days ago. I've also seen a woman who wanted to look like Carmen Electra and someone who wanted to look like Britney Spears. There's others but I try not to turn it to MTV if there's a chance that it'll come on, since then I'm forced to watch it; I can't NOT watch how very stupid these people are.
The Janet Jackson woman; the cameras followed her around for a few days before her surgery, and not once did she go into a gym. Has no idea whatsoever how many crunches Janet does every day. Her husband came home from Iraq, she told him she had a tummy tuck, and he just sort of looked at her a little funny; I think he was thinking, "um, crunches?" My god. Every time I stumble upon this show, I feel old, but that's another thread; every time I watch, I'm just dumbfounded.
It's one thing to want to get a tummy tuck because you've got loose skin from having kids, or from losing a lot of weight, or heck just to feel better about yourself. But why, god, why do you have to LOOK like someone famous? If I were Carmen or Janet, I'd just be freaked out and I'd move to Kuala Lampur.
These people are scary. Seriously scary.
Then there's the idiots on the "Intervention" show on A&E. The season premiere was a "genius level IQ" guy (ha!) who actually said something along the lines of "My parents SHOULD sell their home to pay my gambling debts!" Addiction is a terrible thing, but I'm a little less sympathetic to people who are addicted to gambling to the point where their parents lose the shirts off their backs, trying to support them. Pheh.
