'Sweet 16' comeuppance?
This tvtattle.com headline literally stopped me in my tracks (or it would have, had I been walking):
"Super Sweet 16" divas will be forced to live with indigenous tribes
Say what? Here's a quote from the story that clears it up a little:
MTV plans Exiled!, an eight-episode documentary series that will ship the mini-divas from its Super Sweet 16 series to indigenous tribes in far-off lands like Africa and Antarctica for the chance -- their parents hope -- of gaining an altered world view.
Interesting. An altered world view would be nice. But the part of the story about the parents wanting them to get a new outlook on life? Who was throwing their kids the outlandish parties in the first place? Who gave them the entitlement complexes?
Hopefully everyone will learn something. And take some responsibility.

What tribes are indigenous to Antarctica?

Yeah, I don't know where they came up with that -- I thought it was just penguins and scientists. Maybe it's just a trick to get rid of the little teen divas. Or this is an Onion article gone awry. Will have to check on that in the morning.
