I saw the most ridiculous reality show last night called "Pregnant in Heels". Yeah, I know, there is a reality show about everything..hoarding, people addicted to eating couch cushions, various shows featuring little people, mob wives, prisoners wives, and who could forget Sarah Palin's Alaska-where most of the program is spent buying guns, shooting guns, and talking abouyt guns. In any case, the characters of this charming reality show are pregnant, privledged, and entitled to..making themselves happy. One is due to have a baby in three days-she has no nursery, no diapers (not needed really because she plans to hire someone to change the diapers or clean up anything stinky), no car seat. But she does have a baby outfit in a garment bag to take them home in and a "push gift"-a multicaret diamond bracelet given to expectant moms who are about the 'push' the baby out. Never mind that she is having a c-section.
The other character is a self involved, pushy Catholic woman who is married to a Jewish man. Seems they never discussed the religion issue for future kids-until now, 3 weeks before birth. She feels the baby is hers and it should be the mother's religion. It is simply an extension of herself, and therefore its a given the child will be Catholic, just like her. Never mind she doesn't attend mass. Hmm...don't think this was another immaculate conception.
Are there really humans out there that are that narcissistic? Or is it simply amplified for the glory of tv? I suppose the selfless and caring would be boring in the eyes of America. It also makes you feel so good about yourself and the small causes you take on to make life better for others.
I think its time for Jersey Shore.
