This is what I call “Progress”

[quote=UCGal]I’ll admit I watch this show – it’s a total trainwreck. Teresa said, while the house was being built, “I could never live in a house that someone lived in before me – that’s ICKY.”

In a similar vein…

While I’ve only seen the show a few times (no, really!), I recall seeing a few episodes of “My Sweet 16” when it first aired a few years back. This show tracked (or tracks, it may still be on) wealthy 16-year old girls planning their Sweet 16 party. One of the shows I saw actually took place in La Jolla. But I digress… so I watched one episode in which the father was going to buy whatever car his daughter wanted so they went car shopping. The daughter saw a white Range Rover, got inside, oohed and ahhed and said she loved it (it looked immaculate). The salesman then revealed that it was used (had 20,000 miles on it or something like that) and the girl was revolted. She said, “Ewwwwwwww” and jumped out of the car like it was going to give her leprosy. I laughed my ass off… and watched the rest of the show, of course. These folks were paying in excess of $500K for these parties and all I could think was, “These kids are miserable and will be forever miserable. It’s too late for them. Their lives are ruined.”

Very sad commentary on the state of our society. Emptiness. Nothing there. It is pitiful.
