I really have nothing of value to say, I just feel the need to update
Right now I am eating some delicious pasta with sauce and watching Maury Povich. shut up, I know. The theme of today's Maury is: "Send my oversexed teen to boot camp!" From what I gather thus far, a bunch of fat sniveling mothers have brought their promiscuous out-of-control fourteen year-olds on to the show in order to give them lie detector tests about how many people they've boinked and where they did so and whether or not they've been stealing money and stuff. Soon they will be turned over to about five intimidating "motivational speakers" dressed up in army fatigues and sent to boot camp, where they will be verbally degraded and made to do push-ups and jump through tires until they just can't handle it anymore. I'll bet anything that'll straighten them out! Good thinking Maury!
Call me crazy, but here is a thought: if your fourteen year-old is having unprotected sex with multiple people and stealing money from you and beating the crap out of you and such shenanigans, than maybe, just maybe, you should be held at least partially accountable for that. I mean, one could make a good argument that the reason your kid is acting so fucked up is because of some legitimate glitch in your parenting skills, and perhaps your inability to properly discipline them. Also one would think that there are more constructive ways to try to change your teenager then shipping them off to Maury Povich boot camp and having the whole thing nationally televised. Like perhaps, having them meet and spend time with teenage mothers and people who have contracted AIDS through risky unprotected sex, or maybe putting them into therapy or something. Making someone see the potential consequences of their actions rather then punishing and humiliating them with tedious, pointless work for things that have already been done makes a whole lot more sense to me, but I'm sure Maury has other, more important things to worry about, like digging up and exploiting horribly disfigured adults and children for next season!
Here is another example: a few weeks ago I was watching a different episode of Maury. It was a paternity test episode and I am a sucker for those. Anyways, they had this girl on who had been on the show like 9 different times to test potential fathers for like four out of her seven children. Maury was going on some spiel about her "brave search for the fathers of her children." Um, hello? Not knowing who fathered several of your children does not make you brave, it makes you A SHITTY PARENT AND A STUPID HUMAN BEING. One would think you would learn after, oh, I don't know, the first time you let multiple people blow their load inside you within a two-week period that maybe you should keep better track of that stuff, or maybe narrow it down a bit. But no. It takes four times. And who needs seven children anyways? Honestly, I do not get it. The entire concept of personal responsibility seems to be lost on most everyone these days.
