I was watching the Real World Denver: The Shit they Should have Shown show last night and this cast is perhaps the grossest ever. Each one of these freaks did some sickening stuff. One roommate crapped in a mailing envelope instead of stopping the car like a regular person. While another got drunk and left his poop in his underwear and then threw the underwear poop and all into the washing machine. And a third peed in the corner of the house instead on in the toilet and didn't remember a thing afterward. Finally, one person had a jellyfish sting (or so she though) and 2 cast members peed on her.
They were also drunk and disorderly throughout the show. You couldn't count the times when someone said they were passed out or couldn't remember what they did. One cast member even got so drunk that she kept puking until they had to take her to the doctor. Also one cast member named Jenn was a full-blown alcoholic and was drunk maybe 90% of the times they showed her. She seemed to get drunk every single night no matter what and would black out and not remember what she did. She would cook food, hook up, and generally stagger around in a Tara Reid stupor almost all the time.
Whatever the case this Real World showed a terrible trend when it came to 20 somethings. They kept saying over and over that they were in their 20s and that justified being serial hook-up artists, alcoholics, and not showing general hygiene or common sense. They repeatedly engaged in the most destructive behavior and the shows producers glorified it. The Real World message is you can get fall down drunk every night, hook-up with whomever, crap wherever you want and there are no consequences.
I could just hear Jenn in a drunken stupor yell "You don't know me!" Well, we may not know the real you Jenn; but the one portrayed on the Real world is a statistic waiting to happen. Go to AA and maybe your late 20s won't be a spiral out of control ending in firefighters pulling your mangled corpse out of a car at 3AM. It sure would have been nice if the producers of the Real World showed that this behavior came with a price but they were too busy getting everyone drunk to "spice up the show." I guess you can't expect much from MTV nowadays.
