In other news legal american absinthe sucks ass.</div>
What did I tell you?
Absinthe... man, I've had so many funny nights with that, not really getting drunk, but watching friends visit New Orleans, get excited when they see absinthe available at a bar, and spending upwards of $8 a shot on it. It really doesn't do anything to me, but I have friends who'll order six or seven shots of it, and after every shot, they'll put on this act like it's putting them in another world.
As for the Real World, I'm surprised that any heterosexual males actually watch that show to be honest. It'll take a lot to get me to watch MTV these days, much less their reality tv show marketed to tweeners. I'm sure that comes off a little stiff and elitist, but jesus, the Real World? Wow, my fifteen year old sister acts above it. I guess someone's watching MTV though, because it seems to still be a ratings giant, and all those awful, mindless songs they play keep topping the charts.
I'm not against popular music, dance music, etc. because I like having songs to dance to in the club. Songs like "Glamorous" by Fergie to "Love in this Club" by Usher are fun to dance to, and I hear them played when I'm out all the time. On the other end of the spectrum though, I've never heard anyone play the Pussycat Dolls, Metro Station, or Danity Kane, yet dance songs from groups like that always wind up on the top of the charts and are heavily played on MTV. I can imagine those are the songs that are really influenced by the age 5-15 year old age group though, which makes sense I guess, because I'd assume that most kids in that age would be at a pre-downloading music age.
