Sweet Sixteen

OMG last night whilst surfing the channels with Mouse came across a thing on MTV called "My Sweet 16" the gist of which seems to be rich kids organising and having a 16th birthday party.

Turned out the first girl featured was actually turning 15. This mega beatch first had a party to give out her invites. For this she was punted (or whatever you do with a gondola) around a lake dressed up to the nines whilst she repeatedly swore and bitched about being in the boat, even though it had been her idea. Then having returned to her garden she used a megaphone (and it was a regular sized garden) to call out her friends to come out to accept their invitations, which by the way were in DVD form so they could have keepsakes!!.

Her party theme was an old style Venetian Court for which she wanted jesters, so needless to say 2 little guys came out and showed off their dancing skills much to the girl and her friends amusement (personally I thought it was insulting to the guys but they were obviously happy to oblige).

Then at the actual party she had several (one assumes) close friends who made up her courtiers. She was so rude and nasty to them screaming at them to get in line and hold their masks at the exact position she wanted, bitching because they were laughing at the outfits she'd made them wear. Mouse said if her friend behaved like that she would have gone home and left her to it.

She had one of the jesters dress as a cop and perform a striptease down to his boxers (15 years old - what is her Mother thinking). Then Mum and Dad having spent $300,000 on this party gave her what she asked for as a gift a term studying in a school in Paris. How she thank dear old Mum and Dad - snatched the microphone from Mum and yelled "Hey Mother F*****s I'm going to France" Who are these people?

Mouse and I were utterly astounded even though the swearing was bleeped I'm sure even Mouse knew what she was saying. Mouse was disgusted by her behaviour, one wonders if the girls friends behave the same or if they just put up with it because she's a rich brat.

The best thing about the whole programme was the photo shoot she wanted for her birthday pictures. She had this poor horse wearing a horn head piece to make it look like a unicorn so she could be a fantasy princess. The horse didn't like it (how strange!) so threw its head back in an attempt to dislodge it and smacked her in the face with the horn. It was so funny and you couldn't help thinking well done horse. Needless to say, she wanted off the horse right away and bitched that it was a horrible horse and had ruined her photos.

When these parents watch back the programme do they think OMG we've created a monster or do they just think WOW our baby's on MTV, sadly I think it'll be the latter!
