I want to visit the MTV studios and investigate. Do they really have network execs there who try to be creative? Or do they have monkeys come in and point to pictures on the wall. “Good Bobo! I think another season of “Parental Control” is a splendid idea.” I may be giving monkeys a bad name. What mammal would even want to put another season of “A Shot at Love” on the air? When the monkeys heard the news, they threw their hands in the air and just shook their heads. Some were even seen flinging poo at Tila Tequila posters. Others used MTV’s schedule for toilet paper. “The Hills”, “The Paper”, “Parental Control”, “Rock the Cradle”…mmm hmm..makes for good wiping.

Getting a show on air means nothing these days. How hard is it? Read the New York Daily News article on Tila:

One of Tequila’s potential suitors from the first season, Domenico Nesci, garnered his own MTV dating series, “That’s Amore,” which just completed its first season

It’s like a copy of copy and each successive generation gets worse. Actually, the monkeys must be secretly smiling. Soon, we will devolve back to simple lifeforms and monkeys will take our place.

Asians should take pride in the their progress within the entertainment world. Equality is here. You are free to participate in crappy ass shows and join the ranks of airheads like Lauren Conrad or Heidi Montag. Like the mysteries of Stonehenge or the paranormal, Tequila’s talent is unknown to millions around the world. Best I can tell, her talent was getting six million people to add her as a friend on Myspace. And now she’s famous. All those students at Juilliard or UCLA’s acting program must cry themselves to sleep at night.

To be fair, Tila did immigrate from Singapore and become “something”. She was able to overcome poverty and public housing. Also, staying in the entertainment game does take determination. It’s just mystifying why she wouldn’t do more with herself than this. Oh crap. I sound like my mother now.
