Pathetic. It's so PATHETIC and just DEPRESSING and honestly, WRONG when you think about it. I was in the process of watcing Cribs when it hit me. Within ten seconds, I became so disgusted with MTV and all it's "stars". The idols today, the famous we adore, the "stars" we see on magazine covers are not who they are. They may have talent and may have worked hard enough to get where they are, but it's not fair. It's not fair those people who weren't given the chance to EVER get anywhere near that status. And so these "stars" they build up their money, they build up their over-the-top, extreme, jaw-dropping houses, they buy their fancy, 1,000,000mph cars, they buy clothes just to say they can, and they spend money left and right like it grows on trees.

In 2001, there were over 750,000 homeless people accounted for. And with the spontaneous rises and falls of the economy today, you KNOW the numbers are higher. Much higher. So while our idols are enjoying their golden "necessities" like fancy cars, houses, jewelry, and clothes, going to parties, living life to the fullest, 1 BILLION people (internationally of 2005) aren't even recieving the REAL necessities. FOOD. WATER. CLOTHING. PROPER HOUSING. MEDICINE. Oh no. And yeah, there are homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and benefits that are created to help these people, but you don't see results.

If the "stars" of society today gave half of what they earn to a homeless campaign, they'd still be rich. Why can't MTV create a show that shows people the RIGHT side of humanity. We're in highschool, we know the drama, but what we don't know is what's RIGHT. So teach us MTV, teach us how we can be better people, grow to be better people by letting us see our idols giving back. Do they even give back? Really? Do they visit homeless shelters and talk to the people? Do they see pregnant women carrying unborn babies that will be forced into a life of poverty? Have they spoken to a 19 year old boy with no family, no home, who speaks words of wisdom so great that they can't even understand? No, they don't. And that everyone, is a problem.
