Hey! I'm totally slutty! Where are my 3 other kids??
You're obviously not lazy enough. You fail at cheating welfare.
GREAT! ONE MORE THING I FAIL AT. FUCK.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

It's customary to swear oaths upon fixed objects. Swords, bibles, flags, mother's graves... It runs through all sorts of human culture.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In other news, am I right to think it is laughable to say: "From [this Pakistani guy] to [that Indian guy], the team deliberately sought to include non-Western views."?
Edit: I mean because of the "from this to that" construction -- from India to Pakistan doesn't feel like much of a range....

Forget the pregnancy - follow those girls around when they're 22 and struggle every single day to finish school/work/pay bills/care for a child/have a life/get some actual sleep. Instead of all the BS they actually show.
...have you seen any episodes of 16 And Pregnant? I've seen one or two, and I gotta say, the ones I did see weren't glorifying at all. They were pretty freakin' crappy--and that was just while the chick was preggo, and not really once she had the baby and had to deal with THAT.
Though admittedly, the US Weekly or People or whatever spread on "Where are they NOW?" made them sound all happy and shit, which I doubt they are (one of them was all "Well, we broke up a couple months before the birth because he was hitting me, but then he died in a motorcycle accident two months after she was born, so that sucks because she'll never get to meet her daddy and I'm still living with my parents, but GOSH, SHE"S SO CUTE AND I LOVE HER (CUE ADORABLE PICTURES!!"))

I watched most of the first season and I agree, it was pretty crappy for most of those girls, but I think MTV lost an opportunity to really talk about birth control and why it wasn't used or if it was, why it failed. If the show's purpose is to put the reality of teen pregnancy out there, then put the reality of birth control out there, too. And also follow girls who opt for abortion. Show how harrowing and emotional that can be.
