Last night I was watching Vh1, since I am an old lady now and missing the requiste hip-factor to watch shows like "Please god make me look like Brad Pitt," "Turn my piece of crap auto into a car-jacking just waiting to happen," "Soft-core porn designed to look like reality tv," etc etc etc. Vh1 has this new show called Motormouth and the premise is that they get people to drive an SUV with hidden cameras (ala Taxicab Confessions) and film them singing in the car to the radio. The episode I watched was Long Island vs. Louisville. Well wouldn't you know, the girl who wins Long Island is a soul sistah shakin' her groove thang and the winner from Louisville is a big old REDNECK, complete with vaguely inbred physical features, a hick accent, and missing teeth. Way to showcase those stereotypes Vh1, maybe your next episode you can do a Compton vs. Salem show with a gangbanger stopping the singing long enough for a drive-by and a band of witches sacrificing young children in the back seat.
Hmmm, I feel a little weird being in the position of defending this place since I kind of hate it. Maturity blows.
