Real World, Real Dumb

Ok, not that this is any news to anyone but MTV's Real World totally SUCKS!!!!! Unfortunately, I have to admit I used to be a fan. I enjoy laughing at other people acting stupid. I guess no matter how bad things get in my life I can always point to these people and think, "at least I'm not them!" Anyways, now even I am abandoning this wagon. I watched the first episode of the new Real World Key West and thought I was going to throw up. I mean, c'mon MTV!!!! Can't you show some originality??? I'm sick and tired of seeing the same five personalities hashing out the same tired storylines season after season! There's always:

1.) The Jock - The goodlooking, yet moronic, beer-guzzlin, booty-chasin, frat-boy, who is sure to hookup with...

2.) The Hot Girl - The hot bimbo, who likes drinking, dancing on bars, tonguing her female roommates and other females at the bars, running around in her underwear, and has serious low self-esteem issues (and sometimes an eating disorder)...

3.) The Token Minority -
a.) If a black male, then he's the angry black guy who's mad at society and by default mad at most of his roommates, especially The Jock.
b.) If a black female, she will undoubtably become the object of desire for one of the white males, but usually not The Jock, who is already taken by The Hot Girl.
c.) If an Asian female, she will rarely, if ever, be the subject of an episode and she will rarely have any lines. This is not because she did not say anything or do anything of interest, but because she got edited out to give more screen time to the immature rantings going on with the ill-fated love story between The Jock and The Hot Girl and "The Hot Girl's about-to-be dumped boyfriend back home". And, although usually very attractive, Asian Female will not be highlighted as such.
d.) If an Asian male, ....haha..PSYCH!!!! There never has been nor will there ever be an Asian male on Real World! haha..c'mon...get REAL!
e.) If a Hispanic male, he will be relegated to a supporting role. He will support one of his white male castmates with two-liner comments as needed.
f.) If a Hispanic female, as long as she's goodlooking she will be shifted to the white girl category and there will be little to no mention of her race.

4.) The Gay Roommate - If a male, then his presence will cause the straight male roommates to question their own bigotry on the path to enlightenment. If female, no one will care because there's already enough girl-on-girl action going on in the jacuzzi anyways.

5.) The Reject - Usually a female, but not always, who is unattractive, yet reasonably intelligent and, thus, does not fit in with the other roommates. He/She will either explore the ramifications of being an outsider and have a good cry so as to give the show a humanistic, serious tone, or He/She will provide witty and sarcastic commentary on the idiocy of the rest of the house.


COME ON MTV!!!!! CAN YOU THROW IN SOME DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES ONCE IN AWHILE???? AND, HOW BOUT AN ASIAN GUY?????? ONE THAT ISN'T STEREOTYPICALLY NERDY TOO! OR BETTER YET! HOW BOUT AN ASIAN JOCK?!? I KNOW I'M BLOWING YOUR MINDS MTV...
