Some registers have well-defined functions: Are these teens more popular now that they've given a great party? Have they already gotten the idea that women can be bought? Will they expect/demand that celebrities appear at all their social events, since their families are well connected? All in all, like many MTV products, My Super Sweet 16 is both disturbing and addictive.SWEET16 has 16 internal 16-bit registers, named R0. But there are disturbing messages throughout. It can be fun to gawk at the riches - and at the bad behavior of both the kids and parents. It's hard to imagine exactly what this show's point is. (Later his stepmother bribes girls to attend by giving them free clothes from her chic boutique.) Another father is majorly intense, telling his son it's "pathetic" when only five kids RSVP for his party. One mom drinks heavily, and it's unclear if her daughter's father will even show up. Of course, it's not all glitter and glamour. Parents who are well connected can make real impressions on their teens' classmates (Kanye West and Ciara have appeared on the show and performed at parties). One mom took her daughter to Paris to shop for a dress, while the dad of teen boy hired a team of sexy dancers, later claiming to have spent a total of $250,000 for the big bash. If they are, it's a miracle they function in civilized society.Įverything in this show is over the top. The parents cannot possibly be as stupid and clueless as they allow themselves to be portrayed. I hope that any kid who watches this show is in on the 'joke' and can understand that this behavior is way beyond normal teenage narcissism and borders on sociopathic. I sound like a prude in this posting but in reality smoked for a long time, drink alcohol, and swear a lot, so I thought my tolerance was pretty high. So they need to keep it a secret from him. He doesn't want her to drive a convertible. In the 15 minutes I saw - could not take any more - no mention was made of the dad, other than the Mom knew that Dad won't like the car the girl has selected. Needless to say, she is spewing a constant torrent of ingratitude to her mother, who stands by bemused, as if there is nothing she can do. She said more than once, 'I am the princess', and displayed an unbelievable lack of empathy for anyone else. In another scene, she criticizes her friend for the friend's weight, again in front of a large group. First, the girl passes out party invitations in a park in front of a big crowd when not all are invited. In addition, the lead singer of the band was wearing a T-shirt with lewd content during one of the talking heads.Įxtreme mean girl behavior is demonstrated. The band, as creepy a bunch as I have ever seen hanging around teenage girls, choreographed this 'special birthday' dance move just for her. The dance step she was performing consisted of some extremely suggestive grinding, out in a public park. In another scene, she was shown 'rehearsing' for a music video with a boy band that was to perform at the party. The episode I saw featured a 14 year old from Miami whose mother bought her a $60 K+ car for her 15th. If it is not an enormous joke, then someone should be arrested. It's actually really sad that these teens are gonna grow up and probably become very powerful and inflectional in society. These kids shouldn't be laughed at or given at type of attention. What's the point of showing spoiled little brats throwing tantrums and then getting whatever they want? There's nothing of any value to gain from this show. They sit there laughing at the stupidity and craziness of these rich kids, but at the same time want to have what they have. Teens easily pick up the bullying-envy behavior from this show. However they choose the most obnoxious teens they can find, to be laughed at and call it a tv show. It would be one thing if it was about teens having lascivious parties. All these parents are insane and I can't believe they'd even show their faces with their kids acting like this. MTV banks off teenagers spending their parents money to mimic somewhat, if not exactly the type of behavior that's seen on this show. It always has been and it always will be. I feel, if you think MTV is doing this only for entertainment and not for any form of promotion, that's very naive. However this is MTV, so it's to be expected.
