‘Teen Mom’: The Line Between Reality & TV

I can’t even count the number of people I’ve heard say something like “16 and Pregnant makes everyone think it’s okay to get pregnant because MTV will make them famous.” Yes, I’ll agree with that. Why? Because the show carried on past the first season, not because it existed in the first place. I think that if MTV wanted to broadcast a show that followed the lives of knocked up teenagers, it should have been a one-time deal to show what life is really like once a baby is involved, and how hard it is to properly raise a child when the mother is still a child herself.

Before I get slammed in the comments, I believe it is possible for SOME teen parents to properly raise a child, but it is not possible for the majority of teen parents. If you’re that exception, kudos. But realistically, I’m not about to sit here and tell people that because you are such a fantastic exception, they should get knocked up and experiment for themselves to find out if they too can raise a kid of the same caliber.

I think that having a second and third season of this show is what would really plant the idea into people’s heads that applying to be on the show is just another option they could have once becoming pregnant. So for that, I’d say MTV is irresponsible. That’s when you know it’s about making money, and using teenaged Fertile Mertiles for their own selfish gain.

Dominatrix Stunt Gone Wrong? Nope, She Just Wanted to Chop His Dick Off

Fighting in a relationship is completely normal. It happens to everyone. If you haven’t fought yet in your relationship, either you haven’t been together long enough, or you’re too afraid to speak your mind, and vice versa. What you do to get over a fight, however, isn’t always the same as how everyone else does it. Some people have really good makeup sex, some people take time to cool off, and then some people chop their husband’s penises off.

Meet Catherine Kieu Becker, a 48-year-old woman from Garden Grove, California, who was arrested Monday night after she simultaneously massacred her husband’s masculinity and dignity with a kitchen knife. She first put sleeping pills in his food, and when he finally went to go lay down, she did the deed. She tied both his arms and legs to their bed, and, apparently, went psycho.
