My Super Sweet 16

[Mr. DS]

If there is one show that gives me a nervous twitch its anything like My Super Sweet 16 on MTV.  That show if filled with over privileged brats who throw overally luxurious parties for their birthday.  It doesn't stop there; clubs are booked for the party, mainsteam (ish) rock bands are often booked for the entertainment and some of these kids get BMWs for their present.  I pretty much got a cake on my 16th birthday...WTF...I was wondering if anyone shares my hatred for this show?  Now I'm watching one of those cake challenge shows on Food Network where a few bakers compete in a challenge to cater a 16 year old's party on a yacht.

I would only watch it for a large cash payment . . . and even then I would split the payment with anyone who agreed to watch it for me . . .

Oh man!
The brats on this show need to be taught a harsh life lesson to set them straight.

I think sending them out into the mountains for a month with nothing but the bare necessities would make for a great reality show.
Nothing like a bunch of 16 year old rotten apples trying to survive deep in a forest where bears are on the prowl.
(I'd watch it!)

No BMW for you little girl!
You get a tent, a knife, a canteen and a shovel for your 16th birthday.
Don't lose 'em!

I imagine their personal camera interviews would be something like the Blair Witch Project...with snot dripping from their noses.
It'd be worth it to watch them cry on camera for their mommies & daddies.

Mommy and Daddy can't help you little b***hes!  Mwahahaha!!!

[ulthar]

Haha, I remember MY 16th birthday, over a quarter centrury ago, very well.

Mom took me in to the DMV to get my driver's license, then I drove myself home to help Dad dig up and repair a frozen water pipe.  I don't remember how Mom got home; I think I dropped her off at work.

And it was a school day -- YEA!!!

I've never seen that show, but have heard of it.  One word comes to mind:  disgusting.

[HappyGilmore]

This show, eh.

Big part of the reason why I don't pay much attention to MTV anymore.  I grew up watching it, and they had a good balance of music videos and tv shows.  But at least the shows were of a good quality.

[BlackAngel75]

I've only seen the show through channel surfing, and even that, I wouldn't see it.  But truth be told, I would watch it if the parents of these kids would give me all their stuff and have cameras follow me around for my "Super Sweet 32".  Other than that, this is the reality I want to to see:

Bratty teen: That's it?  That's all you're gonna give me?  A...

Parent: ...Birthday card, that's right, little missy.  Until you get your grades up, that's all you're gonna get!

Bratty teen: Screw you, b***h!  I don't have to take this s**t!

Parent (snapping a belt):  Hey, hey, you will take this card and like it.  Now back talk at me again and see what happens.  Now get in the car and let's go to Chuckie Cheese.

Ever since MTV stopped playing MUSIC I stopped watching them.

I watched it today and omg.  This chick was a spoiled brat.  She got to wear $300K diamonds, had a huge party.  There were a lot of people there, but I am guessing they showed up because it was free food and beer.  Then to top it off, she got a brand new BMW Hardtop convert.

What the F$#K!

I got a $500 Olds Cutlass for my 16th.

We should make a show called the "Real Sweet Sixteen".

It would show normal people having cake and eating it too.

My two cents.

[CheezeFlixz]

I got a $500 Olds Cutlass for my 16th.

Man all I got was a card and that was from my girlfriend at the time. My ol'man said "Boy you want a car? Make some money and go buy one, and don't think I'm paying the insurance and gas either."

So I took some money I had and bought a 1949 International Pick-up out of a barn for $50.00 and the insurance was more than the truck. Drug it down to the shop class at school and got to work on it for a grade. They supplied many of the parts and the tools. That baby was a tank! Looked like hell but the chicks dug it.

It's shows like this that lend creedence to bin Laden's complaints about the US.  Those kids need a swift kick in the ass for their 16th.  Can't remember what I got for mine, I was just happy I wasn't eaten by a dinosaur that day.

My first car -- which I had to wait until college for -- was a hand me down from my sister who only got it because our grandfather had died.

I've seen the commercials for this show and have been inspired to avoid it like the plague. The only thing more annoying than whiny teens, is whiny over privileged teens that wouldn't know what hard work (or any work) was if it bit them on the ass.

$300,000 worth of jewelry and a BMW? Sheesh! Talk about a great opportunity for armed robbery, I might add: one or two heists on kids like these, and you'd be set for life.

There is a Super Sweet 16 movie, and the show featured prominently in the plot of the Bratz live action movie.

Here's my favorite thing to come out Super Sweet 16

Some oil investors were pretty p**sed off when they saw Gary Milby doting upon his spoiled daughter on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 earlier this season. There are four federal lawsuits pending against Milby for allegedly taking $20 million from investors in his Kentucky oil fields and then never giving them any return on their money. It's a long, complicated story about securities fraud and blah, blah... the interesting part comes when investors saw Milby on MTV, spending what they can only assume is their money on his daughter's birthday party. You see, they haven't been able to find the guy to serve him with the lawsuits.

Milby's Sweet 16 party for his daughter, Ariel, was pretty outlandish, even by MTV standards. He helicoptered her in to the princess-themed party and then she rode in a Cinderella-style carriage the rest of the way. There were the usual ice sculptures and fireworks, as well as a BMW as a birthday gift. I'm sure seeing this on television just rubbed salt on the wound of these poor investors.

I always wondered what the parents of these rich kids did for a living.

to quote Milby's daughter, Ariel

"It smells like money, daddy!"

Shows like this make me lose my already low faith in humanity.
