Bad Idea

This is why I don't like Teen Mom: 'Teen Mom Amber Portwood sentenced to five years in Jail' It glamorizes teen pregnancy and I know the Missus and I get into this now and again but if you put something on MTV no matter how miserable you may make it seem, it automatically becomes cool to a large swathe of the teenage population. Especially given the amount of media time and magazine covers these girls seem to get. Look what it leads to- makes teen pregnancy seem like an easy path to reality show stardom.

Had MTV done a True Life style 'fly on the wall documentary' maybe, maybe they could have pulled a positive message out of this. But they didn't. And now whatsherface is going to jail... sure her kid's going to love hearing that story.
