Has anyone seen the latest and greatest (and by "greatest" I mean shittiest on earth) version of the "Real Housewives" brand of shows on Bravo TV? The most recent version hails from Hotlanta and features a merry band of ethnic women and one white trailer trash gal that sports bleach blond wigs and loves to stir the pot with drama.
OMG. This show is a fucking train wreck. Then again, the mobsters from Jersey, the uptight bitches from New York, and the original SoCal plasticized, back-stabbing Barbies from Orange Co., CA, aren't much beddah.
I've dabbled in viewing snippets of all of the shows. I can only stomach so much before I wanna bitch slap the collagen out of their lips. These women do not appear to fully grasp the meaning of friendship. They have hoards of money but they aren't happy. They're petty, vindictive, miserable harpies who just so happen to be less offensive to the eyes than a regular schmo, and have more money than the average Jane.
Bravo has lost its damn mind. They also feature a detestable program called NYC Prep School which follows the lives of a few privileged teens in private schools in NYC. These kids . . . Christ on a cucumber. They're so bored. YAWN. They've done the drugs, the drinking, the unbridled sex, sigh, with everybody . . . at age 16. Gosh, can you blame them? They're just logging their time in revoltingly overpriced posh high schools so that they can be FREE and then log their time in revoltingly overpriced posh Ivy League colleges, so they can then run their own business and be revoltingly overpaid titty baby bosses to a bunch of normal folks who actually have to work for a living.
Sniff.
Jesus. They disgust me. I want to vomit the moment their pompous, upturned noses hit the screen. HERE'S A THOUGHT, GENIUS: If you're so goddamn fucking bored all the time, why not VOLUNTEER for something good? Why not help those that need it? Why don't you travel over to Africa on Mommy and Daddy's private jet and assist those evil drug companies in distributing free fucking prescription drugs to the helpless AIDS victims over there? Or, gasp!, channel that ennui into a local effort to make the world a better place in New York FUCKING City? HUH? WHADABOUT THAT, you whiny fucks? I swear, opportunities for positive stewardship and growth abound in your own highly manicured back yards, you writhing idiots.
Owowowowow. I just popped a vein in my forehead.
Back to the Real Hos of Hotlanta. In the first five seconds of the opening credits, you pretty much glean everything you need to make a viewing decision, when NeNe (Ghetto name alert! Ghetto name alert!!!) announces craftily that her family "don't keep up with the Joneses! WE ARE THE JONESES."
I'm fairly certain her last name is not Joneses. But what do I know?
These supposed bastions of upper crust Atlanta society actually
got into a fistfight at a local upscale restaurant, I shit you not.
Brawl on video, right here! Now, I don't claim to be an expert on class, but by GAWD, that screams "I'M A WINNER!"
Seriously, it just goes downhill from there. Don't watch it. You'll want to claw your eyes out. Then again, do! Because if you are a candidate for LASIK surgery, the job will be halfway done after five minutes of one episode.
Prescription for successful LASIK procedure:
Watch 5 mins. of Real Hos of Atlanta,
claw eyes uncontrollably,
run to nearest eye surgeon's office and jump into the chair,
let lasering commence.
No need for that pesky eyeball slicing machine! WIN WIN!
