Earlier today I was at Preston's apt and he had MTV's Made on in the background. They featured two cases of nerds wanting to become ladies' men. Thank you, America of the United States. The first guy was just a complete loser - chubby, bucked teeth, terrible communication skills. Also, when he finally got a girl (a sweet one too), he really treated her like some cheap property. In the end, he was made out to be this really cool guy, but I saw then that the reason he couldn't get a girlfriend was because he was a jerk. He was so self-absorbed and he couldn't stand his self, so MTV did not try to turn his attention toward more noble causes to make him a better man. Instead, they spruced up his ego and image so that, though he was still caught up on himself, his self was "cool" and apparently that's what we call integrity these days. Should I say anything about our President-elect? Nah, I'll let you figure out that connection yourselves.
(Part 2 of this series will come later.)
