The End Times Near: Tila Tequila Tops MTV

I have seen ten minutes of this show. I couldn't take much more. Even in minute doses over several weeks. It is a formulaic distraction from things that matter, interested in excess when the world could use more of less. And it has zero to do with music. Which is probably why it is ruling MTV:

MTV series development guru Tony DiSanto points to the show's original will-she-choose-a-man-or-a-woman format as the main reason for its success.

"It's one of those shows where you never know what's going to happen next," DiSanto says. "I think there's an innate curiosity in wondering what is going to make Tila decide between a man and a woman. It makes for a compelling piece of programming that you just can't take your eyes off of."

Wrong, dude. I can take my eyes off of it pretty easily. And my ears, and fingers.

But, in times of terror and war, it seems I'm somewhat alone in that respect. At least among the youth demographic. And since they're the ones killing and dying in Iraq, I guess I shouldn't complain.

Wait, I just figured it out. Starship Troopers was a documentary. That explains everything.
