EDUCATION IN AMERICA
Lindsey was flipping channels this morning and landed on a show on MTV. It's called Made and it features high school kids trying to do things that have nothing to do with their lives or personalities. One particularly enjoyable episode featured a nerdy Jewish kid who wanted to become a rapper. The one we caught a few minutes of today had what looked like a well-off teenaged girl trying to become a snowboarder. Her "Made coach" is a professional snowboarder and in the middle of the show he tells her that he has to go to Vermont for a competition so she'll have to spend the weekend snowboarding without him. She says something like, "You're going to Vermont? Where is that? Canada?"
What the fuck.
By all accounts, this girl probably goes to a great school in a great neighborhood and is living a great life. How in the hell does she make it to 15 or 16 years old without knowing that Vermont is a state in the United States of America?
I have no solutions. I'm just complaining.

Have you ever seen the show "My Super Sweet 16" on Mtv? That show pisses me off every time I watch it. All the little teen girls they feature are evil.
I told Lindsey I wanted to become a serial killer and that I would only kill all the teenagers on My Super Sweet 16. So...yeah, I've seen it. :)
