MTV meets the Alphabet
I am now officially addicted to "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" on MTV. Its a reality show that follows a bunch of rich Southern California high school kids around. Its immensely entertaining (in a sorta perverse way) to watch these 16 year old kids indulge in the worst sort of adult behaviour (back stabbing, cheating, badmouthing etc ...)
However, one day after an episode of Laguna Beach, there was a new reality show that was on - It was the first episode and they were choosing the contestants based on videos that they had sent in.
There were a couple of Indian-American teenage girls on the show - On their video, the first half showed them in traditional garb performing religious poojas with their parents singing their praises - "So obedient, so responsible, so studious !!"
In the second half, cut to a disco on the West Coast - The girls in shockingly short skirts in some club hooking up with some seedy looking guys. The girls proudly say that while their parents think they are here on an internship, they are just freaking out, partying and clubbing ....
In short, they were trying their best to project a "bad-ass" image that was as far away from a traditional Indian girl as possible.
The judges (including Omarosa, remember her !!) uniformly rejected these kids saying "Its horrible how you guys are trying to fool your parents when they trust you so much".
Funny, funny - Those girls looked confused as hell. "Wait a minute, I thought we had to be bad-ass to get selected !" - No wonder people call them Confused.
